About the Course
Playing around moss-draped oak trees and along a stunning tidal marsh, the Jack Nicklaus-designed Pawleys Plantation delivers the type of experience golfers expect of a layout designed by the game's greatest champion. The opening nine winds through a maritime forest that rewards the shot-making and creativity the Golden Bear has long valued, but the Pawleys Plantation experience reaches its zenith on the Myrtle Beach area's most memorable back nine. Featuring six holes that play along the marsh, Pawleys complements stunning natural beauty with a design that rewards bold play, a combination that has made it one of the area's most sought after tee times. Consistently ranked as one of the Myrtle Beach area's premier golf courses, Pawleys Plantation, which also includes a full-service clubhouse, meeting space and villas featuring up to four bedrooms, is the ideal home for your golf trip, wedding or business meeting.
