South Carolina’s Hammock Coast has long been a favorite destination for golfers looking to combine world-class play with laid-back coastal charm. Tucked just south of Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island and Litchfield offer some of the most scenic and rewarding golf experiences on the Grand Strand — without the crowds and fast pace of larger resort areas.
Whether you’re planning a dedicated golf getaway or simply want to fit a round into your beach vacation, the courses in this stretch of the coast deliver unforgettable views, challenging layouts, and true Southern hospitality.
Caledonia Golf & Fish Club
Widely considered one of the top public golf courses in the country, Caledonia Golf & Fish Club is a must-play for serious golfers. Designed by the legendary Mike Strantz, Caledonia blends Lowcountry beauty with strategic play. Moss-draped oak trees, marsh-front holes, and immaculately maintained greens create a course that feels both elegant and distinctly coastal.
The finishing hole overlooking the clubhouse and water is one golfers remember long after the trip ends.
True Blue Golf Club
Just across the road from Caledonia sits True Blue Golf Club, another Mike Strantz masterpiece. While Caledonia is refined and traditional, True Blue offers a bold, expansive design with dramatic elevation changes, wide fairways, and large waste areas that challenge players of every skill level.
The course is consistently ranked among South Carolina’s best and is especially popular for buddy trips and repeat golf travelers.
Heritage Club
For golfers who appreciate classic Southern scenery, Heritage Club delivers a beautiful round filled with centuries-old oaks, former rice plantation landscapes, and peaceful marsh views. The course strikes a great balance between playability and challenge, making it ideal for mixed-skill groups and casual vacation golfers alike.
Its welcoming atmosphere and stunning clubhouse setting make it one of the area’s hidden gems.
The Tradition Golf Club
Located in nearby Litchfield, The Tradition Golf Club combines classic course architecture with modern conditioning. Designed by Ron Garl, the course incorporates natural wetlands, strategically placed bunkers, and smooth Bermuda greens that reward thoughtful play.
The relaxed pace and beautiful surroundings make it a favorite for visitors looking to enjoy a stress-free day on the course.
River Club
Another standout in the Litchfield area is River Club, known for its scenic marshfront holes and pristine conditions. Designed by Tom Jackson, River Club offers a fun but challenging experience with water features woven naturally throughout the course.
Golfers often praise the friendly staff, excellent practice facilities, and memorable finishing stretch.
More Than Just Golf
One of the best parts about golfing in Pawleys Island and Litchfield is everything that comes after the 18th hole. Fresh seafood restaurants, waterfront dining, boutique shopping, and uncrowded beaches give the area a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding between rounds.
Unlike busier golf destinations, this part of the coast invites visitors to slow down and truly enjoy the experience — from sunrise tee times to sunset dinners overlooking the marsh.
