Pawleys Plantation

70 Tanglewood Drive • Pawleys Island, SC 29585

Pawleys Plantation is ranked among some of the finest courses in the Carolinas. It has been named one of “America’s Top Courses” by Zagat Survey and it is among the top 30 of South Carolina’s more than 300 golf courses according to Golf World(2009,2010). Golf Digest has awarded them 4 Stars in their prestigious “Places to Play course rankings.

This Jack Nicklaus Signature course is a classic Lowcountry design that you can play many times and never have the same shot twice. With subtle greens enveloped by sand bunkers, challenging fairways dotted with water and unique obstacles evident on every hole, this is a player’s course that demands strategy, ingenuity and above all, concentration. “You’ll have to think your way around this course,” Nicklaus advises. But the Golden Bear is quick to add, “as for beauty, on a scale from one to 10, it’s pretty close to a 10.”
