PAWLEYS PLANTATION COURSE

Golf courses bearing the architectural footprint of Jack Nicklaus span the globe. Nicklaus himself has 261 courses open for play worldwide that he individually completed, re-designed or co-designed. His company has even more, with an amazing 324. Nicklaus Design is represented in 32 countries and 38 U.S. states.

Pawleys Plantation Golf and Country Club is a rarity among the Golden Bear’s creations. The Jack Nicklaus signature course in Pawleys Island, S.C. is a unique design that blends aesthetic beauty and architectural brilliance to create a Lowcountry paradise that embodies Southern charm and elegance, while delivering an exceptional golf experience.

The course is the centerpiece of one of the premier golf communities on the Carolina coast, blessed with an abundance of live oaks and breathtaking views of the saltwater marsh.

At Pawleys Plantation plenty of shot-making opportunities are available as wide, green fairways lead to subtle greens guarded by natural hazards like the Pawleys Island salt marsh and the barrier island beyond.

From the championship Golden Bear tees, the course measures over 7,000 yards but a total of five sets of tees allow golfers of every skill level a fair chance to compete.

“The course at Pawleys is designed to reward the player who plays intelligently,” said Nicklaus of his design. “This is a fun course with lots of variety and challenge for all levels of golfers.”

A number of the most reputable golf publications in the nation have continuously heaped accolades upon Pawleys Plantation.

Golf Digest listed the course among its “Places to Play” writing: “Pawleys Plantation is outstanding. Plan your next vacation around it.” The magazine gave the course a 4-star rating. Zagat has ranked Pawleys Plantation among the top courses in the United States in its most recent golf guide, “America’s Top Golf Courses.”

The course has also been named one of the 25 best golf courses in South Carolina by the prestigious South Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel. The panel’s list of the best places to play in the state appeared in the fall 2007 issue of Palmetto Golfer, the official magazine of the South Carolina Golf Association.

Pawleys Plantation is one of twelve courses that make up the Waccamaw Golf Trail, a cooperative effort comprised of 12 south Grand Strand golf courses and accommodations providers. The resort at the Plantation is the trail’s premier place to stay.

One of America’s best small resorts, this popular destination offers a distinctive coastal feel, luxurious accommodations, world-class golf and award-winning gourmet dining.
Set amid the splendor of 200-year-old, moss-draped oaks, Pawleys Plantation’s resort is the perfect setting for a memorable golf getaway, family vacation or business retreat.

Guests may choose from one, two, three and four bedroom villas offering golf course views. Travel and Leisure Golf recently praised Pawleys Plantation as one of the best lodging facilities in Myrtle Beach.

Pawleys Plantation is also home to the Phil Ritson-Mel Sole Golf School, which is one of only 12 academies to remain on Golf Magazine’s prestigious “Top 25 USA Golf Schools” since their ratings began in 1999.
