The course

What Pawleys Plantation Golf & Country Club plays like.

Designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1988, this course showcases the beauty of South Carolina's low country with its marshland terrain and mature pines. The routing features narrow fairways and challenging green complexes, demanding precision and skill. Notable holes include the par 3 13th, which plays over marshland, and the par 4 18th, with its water guarded green. The course suits experienced golfers seeking a strategic test.

Haven’t played here in years. Other than very strong winds, I was pleasantly surprised with the changes.

Beautiful The 13 and 17 hole was a eye opener what a challenge with the wind blowing hard over the marsh

Michael, Wetumtka

Beautiful Course

W D, Manakin Sabot

My favorite course of the trip, amazing! Man at pro shop (don't recall his name) wouldn't allow us to reserve a replay tee time without paying. Our concern was weather and not wanting a rain check. We assured him we would replay as long as it wasn't storming but he wouldn't accommodate us. Stated, "I could sell that spot". It worked out, no storm. I've never encountered this before.

Bernard, batavia

Great course. Hadn’t played it in years. Greens were in great shape in spite of being in their slow season. Would definitely play again.

John, Woodstock

Loved the layout! Loved the condition! Loved the pace of play! Played 36 holes on a Saturday. Play both 18s in less than 4 hours. Loved the beauty of the holes on the marsh.

Chris, Anderson

Ended up not playing

Campion, Chicago

beautiful course. 90 degree. started on hole 10 even though tee times were set 359 days in advance

Rob , Lindenhurst

Great course, bag drop off man was rude. Great course though

Jordan , Port Hope

Nice trek but fell short of our expectations and the heavy winds made the two signature holes gimmicky.

Greg, Ottawa

Beautiful, clanging course. Split tee start here as well, but good communication from the starter about pace of play.

Imberman, Port Washington

Fun course and nice that we got the lunch and drink tickets

Rob, Belvidere

Great shape and friendly staff. Worth the drive from MB

Michael, Blaine

Very very nice

Mark, Santee

Fantastic course with and well laid out until you get to the greens which are shaped like a potato chip.

Guy, Elizabethtown

#1 course this year greens were awesome

Robert, Simcoe, ontario

Beautifully kept course.

Brian, Leesport

Great course with so many challenges

Rick, Mount Uniacke

Best of the 5 courses. Really nice!

Al, Wethersfield

Beautiful course with great conditions

Krejmas, Wethersfield

Course was good. Staff was somewhat rude.

Bournes, Cookeville

Also has a great layout, greens & fairways were excellent! I would play it again!

kenneth, poland

Greens were in good shape.

Mike , Manassas

Very disappointed with the condition of the course. This is one of our favorite courses in the Myrtle area, but the fairways, rough and greens were spotty and left a lot to be desired. Ranked last of the 5 courses we played.

Bill, Glen Allen

Course renovation was a huge success!! Clubhouse and staff are very helpful.

Dave , St James

We had a very pleasant experience at PP. We warmed up with unlimited use of the range prior to golf. The starter was very accommodating. The design is memorable and the course conditions, including the greens, were very good. PP is a long drive from central MB, but we will return to play again.

Bill

Beautiful course and clubhouse. It’s true about the new greens being rock hard, which made scoring tough.

John, Gilford

OK but the PAR 3's were to difficult over the marsh with the greens being fast. Not realistic to hold the green for the weekend golfer.

Ron, Philadelphia

loved the renovation

Martin, Hickory Hills

Bad shape for price

James, Midland

Very nice golf course.

Richard, Centerville

Poor tee blocks.

Michael, Port Dover

Nice course.

William, barrie

A little messy with 2 morning and one afternoon tee time.

Scott, Kensington

A little quirky but nicely unique

Jim, Scituate

Need to soften the greens. I know they are new, but too hard and difficult to hold an approach shot.

Ernie, Scarborough

beautiful course very fast greens but all in all one of the best courses I e played down here

Loren, Burton

course was not very good, and even the fairways were brown with not much grass. Food was good thou

Ronald, Brampton

First nine was solid, but wow does it turn it on for the back nine. Marsh views are incredible. Expect to put at least a ball in the marsh on the two par 3s. Pray there isn't any wind as they are hard enough on their own. Restaurant had some of the best food we ate on our entire trip.

Brent, Abingdon

Great greens rough condition

Randy, Wilmington

The course is still maturing from renovations. The play was very slow.

Richard, Taylor

Great course

Tony, Selden

would have been nice to know some of the course would have been torn up and that they were closing for the season on Monday 5/22

Austin, Murrysville

Pawley's was not in great shape. It is being closed in October for renovations

Richard, Burlington

Great layout and some very memorable holes. Would have given it a 5, but the fairways needed grass at some spots.

Kevin, Pine Grove

Needs work which I understand is planned

Kenneth, Gloucester

Condition could have been better

John, Naperville

#1 poor rating. Course in horrible condition; black sand with gravel; too much dirt. Totally bad experience!

Kurt, Downers Grove

Poor condition of the course

Gerald, Holland

Course was in decent shape and a good challenge. Bring insect repellant as the biting gnats are rampant here.

Joseph, mahopac

Great layout, good conditions, tough track

Francesco, Stoney Creek

One of the best courses and golfing environments I have ever experienced. I WILL be back

Andrew, Suffolk

Staff was very welcoming! The hardest track we played all week. Np Cart path restrictions except par 3's

William, Lexington

Also told that greens were recently punched but small tines allowed for quicker healing.

Matt, Mechanicsburg

Bad shape and too tricked up. Some of the holes needed a windmill and a clown mouth...

Charlie, Ashburn

What is not to like, everything great.

Mike, Brockton

Course in good shape, both fairways and greens. Staff very helpful. Two of our foursome had to leave for a family medical emergency, and we were paired with two extremely slow players. We quit at 9. But, we will play again on some future trip, because we all like the course. The Tradition pub is nice, and the staff there is friendly and helpful.

John, WILMINGTON

great course; fairways a little rough. I understand there have been some changes in management. looking forward to playing again real soon

vernon, kannapolis

they put too many players on the course on a members day. course in average condition but very slow round

Brent, Pembroke

Course is fantastic, couple of quirky holes distract

Parviz, Fairborn

Customer service is not the best.

Emery, Springfield

Course was fine, service sucked!

James, Emerald Isle

Grass wasn't fully grown in

Andrew, Palatine

Extraordinary!

G Paul , Perkasie

Two years in a row for very poor service and just ok for the course

Tyler, Fairborn

The course was fun and the staff accommodated

Gilbert L, Fairborn

Customer service is not good

Emery, Springfield

Very Happy with this course. People were fabulous

Michael, Brookfield

A great track and in very good shape. Greens were night and day from when we played there a few years ago.

Patrick, Cincinnati

Enjoyable and challenging

Joe , Hoffman Estates

Have seen it in better shape before, but still good

Arun, Barrington

Good course that was I good shape. Will play again if in a package.

James, Cameron

Great views, great layout. Staff was great too

Joe, Betkeley Heights

Of all the courses my group played on our trip (Caledonia and Tidewater) Pawleys was the best. Great greens and great scenery.

Giovanni , Egg Harbor Township

Great course

Bruce, Loveland

always challlenging

john, wagram

Beautiful course. Really windy day made it super difficult.

Jim, Mint Hill

Terrific challenging track. Best finishing hole I’ve played. Jack Nicklaus never disappoints

Andrew, Nutley

Golf Shop and Restaurant staff were great. Only issue was we were held up a bit by the outside staff while trying to get on the tee and beat the sun

Terence, Baltimore

Very nice course.

Kenneth, Heathrow

Best Course of the five

Tom, Myrtle Beach

One of my all time favorites. Was in good shape.

Tom, Powhatan

We liked the course but there are better ones in that area. We did a re-play at their sister course, Willbrook Plantation, and it is was as nice as any course we've played. Will definitely put in on next yer's list.

Michael, Chadds Ford

Course was a little tough for our 14-20 handicappers. But the layout was great and the people were awesome

Stephen, Conley

Being a Nicklaus signature design I had high expectations along the same lines as Caledonia. Was disappointed. Thought the course to be average with course tucked into all of houses/condos.

Jim, Sugar Land

Good shape, not a fan of the layout or the large number of houses throughout the course - for a 1 1/2 drive, Caledonia is far superior

Daniel, Towson

Jack's design was tough!

Rick, Little Rock

Scorched fairways, many damaged greens and a 45 yard temporary green. Very Poor Condition, nice course layout

Paul, Branford

Grass was dead, greens barren. The place was in rough shape.

Sam, Richmond Hill

Dry - lack of rain but also problems with sprinkler system. Several greens with bare patches

Doug, Glen Allen

Probably my favorite course on the Myrtle Beach courses. Have to include this one if playing on South end

Grady, Gastonia

The front nine is a disaster, really if I’m paying top dollar for my vacation. I don’t want to see dirt . The back nine makes up for everything. The signature holes is nice.

Greg (I love the gray team), Royal Palm Beach

Had three or four greens with no grass on them

glen, Scott Depot

greens were burnt out but great layout

Carl, Conshohocken

Four stars for the layout, which was both attractive and difficult. Condition-wise, only two stars as a number of the greens were burned out or dying and it seemed like there was a lot top-dressing. Service at grille room was slow and disorganized, plus their computer wasn’t working properly so some lunch orders never made it to the kitchen even though they were paid for. So, overall a three-star rating.

Joseph, Sunset Beach

A number of the greens were in bad shape, but other than that it was a very pleasant round of golf. Staff was very accommodating.

Michael, Lakeside Park

Always a pleasure

Barry, Dover

Very disappointed it’s the condition of Pawley’s Plantation.

Gene, Ocean View

Great Course and great test of golf.

James, Emerald Isle

Very tough course, tight and tree lined.

Frank, Arvada

Live the course and surrounding neighborhood

Tom, Manalapan

Bugs ate me up!

Emery, Springfield

Just awesome surroundings.

Joseph, New Windsor

things went smooth...nice course

Jerry, Tinley park

very nice, a long tunnels of trees to hit down a premium on the fairway. Greens were in great shape

Parviz, Fairborn

the course was in overall good condition. Probably the most challenging course on our rotation.

John, Wexford

If the rough had been growing it would have been much better.

Brian, Wexford

Very good track. Toughest course we played all week. Tight fairways.

Frank, Arvada

Wonderful challenging course. We were pushed by 4 Woman members who each had their own cart. Ranger was apparently frustrated by this. They ended up only playing 9. Will be back.... par’’d 13...

Kevin, Williamstown

Course was in good shape, conditions were tough, cold and windy. Clubhouse staff was good.

Steve, Lima

Memorable holes

John, DAGSBORO

Course was under repair and had temporary holes. We should have been told.

Paul, Madison

Favorite of all golf courses in the Myrtle Beach area.

Michael, Brockton

All time favorite!

Michael, Brockton

Pauley's is always a favorite. The course was in great condition. Challenging and fun. Carts could use GPS range finders.

Peter, Warminster

a little surprised at the overall condition of course. cart paths in disrepair. not what i'm accustomed in Nicklaus course.

bruce, Frederick

Nice course & greens. Employees polite & friendly

Jeff, Reading

Greens were uncut. Tee box uncut. We were told the greens were just uncut Sunday. That was a cover up. Worse greens we ever played on.

Jeff, Victor

Top notch in everyway.

Ronald, Mechanicsburg

Greens were terrible. Views were great!

Ben, Knoxville

Green's was fuzzy!!!! But its amazing lay out .

Derrick, Knoxville

Best Greens they have ever had.

Jonathan, Hoschton

Beautiful Course!! In excellent shape! Only complaint greens were painfully slow...

Scott, Reading

Hole 13 was a very cool experience! Nice Golf Course

Evan, Raleigh

Course was in nice shape

Stephen, Media

First time I played it in 30 years. Really enjoyed the course.

Rich, Allison Park

Maintenance not up to the expectations for this course. That said, had a fun day. Holes along the marsh never disappoint. With it being as hot as it was, need to figure out better hydration options other than the two rest stations in the middle of each 9.

Kevin, Fort Mill

Bunkers were terrible and no sand in them

Wade, houston

Disappointing. So much hype around this course before we got there. Fairways and greens were in sporadic bad shape. Not at all what we were expecting.

Bill, chester

course layout was awesome, greens were in tough shape.

Jeff, Sparta

Average condition but great layout.

Ken, Simpsonville

Course in OK shape. Greens OK..

Tim, Greenville

Not great condition

Mac, Greenville

William, Brook Park

The best course of the week
