: August 19th, 2009 : MAN : Comments Off

For special Myrtle Beach golf packages, follow along the Historic Waccamaw River as you enjoy a great round or two of golf along the Waccamaw Golf Trail!

Waccamaw, after the Waccamaw Indians is a name long familar to the Carolinas. The Waccamaw River (perhaps better known as the Intracoastal Waterway in that area) flows from North Carolina to Winyah Bay, in Georgetown, South Carolina and now instead of old rice fields and former plantations, the river meanders past some of the finest Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island Golf.

You’ll see wildlife you don’t see in other areas, pileated woodpeckers are common as are “monkey squirrels”. You might even spot a Black Bear. Azaleas and dogwood flood the banks and bloom in the spring. The area stands on its own, but you’re only 15 minutes from Myrtle Beach proper activities as well.

Unlike the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Alabama, which offers golf courses strung out along many miles, this is a concentration of 12 great golf courses all within minutes of each other. You will love the variety of golf available on these former historic rice plantations. Golf awards are many among this group of golf courses. Golf Digest has issued “America’s Top 100 Public Courses to four of them. Willbrook is a favorite for the ladies and the list goes on.

Golf courses you will want to play again and again, just minutes from each. This is an unmatched golf experience? Don’t worry about traffic, convenience is what we’re talking about here.

Play TPC of Myrtle Beach, Blackmoor or Wachesaw Plantation East at the northern end of the trail in Murrells Inlet. Travel a few more minutes south and you’ll be the Litchfield area of Pawleys Island Mainland, play golf at Litchfield Golf Club, the Tradiiton, Willbrook or River Club for starters. Just a couple of miles past Litchfield you’ll find the Heritage, Caledonia and True Blue on the Old Kings Highway and on the Highway 17 Bypass you can play Pawleys Plantation and Founders Club.

What a golfing experience…these golf courses are some of the best in the Southeast as well as the Myrtle Beach area! 

Beautiful Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, has enviable views of the old rice fields from it’s club house and sometimes the comments from the porch that overlooks the 18thhole will hassle you, but never doubt you are playing one of “America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses” as named by Golf Digest. It’s also considered one of the most beautiful courses in the area due to old plantings, a welcoming avenue of Oaks and other scenery. Waverly Plantation the grounds on which Caledonia was built was a working rice plantation up until about 1912. Doc Lachicotte & Wilson Springs, the founders of Caledonia can be spotted many times at the little “fish camp” just before you make the turn into the road leading to the clubhouse. True Blue, owned by the same developers gets ongoing Golf digest’s Awards and is “must play” when you go for Myrtle Beach golf.

We believe you’ll enjoy these golf courses more than most other courses you have played. Their proximinty adds to the fun. Don’t stop with two or three golf courses, play them all! These golf courses are a glimpse into an unhurried life with beautiful surroundings, try them if you want to experience true Southern hospitality.
