Heritage Club, The - Public

Description

Situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway on the banks of the Waccamaw River is one of America's best kept secrets: Heritage Plantation of Pawleys Island, South Carolina.

Newcomers to Heritage Plantation casting their first glance at one of the Myrtle Beach area's stateliest clubhouses - 12,000 square feet of southern Colonial styling overlooking the Waccamaw River - are apt to gasp at its seemingly antebellum splendor. Don't be fooled - it was built in 1986. "Those guilty of this egregious architectural error are to be forgiven," according to TravelGolf's review. "The clubhouse, the golf course and the entire essence of the Heritage Club smacks of a time well before this one.

More than 600 acres of giant magnolias, 300-year old oaks, fresh water lakes and marshes have been transformed into a unique golfing community to rival the finest in the world.

The centuries-old trees, blossoming flowers, and rice fields endow each hole with a different and intriguing look. The course serves as the centerpiece to the famous Heritage Plantation, which in addition to the championship golf, features swimming, health club and yacht club facilities.
