    This was a very interesting place to visit. We tagged along with a tour that was already in progress and really appreciated the knowledge and demeanor of the tour guide. This was a lot of fun to explore. We plan to return when the weather is a little warmer.

    Smaller than I thought. No parking available. But historically good to drive thru. Did go thru the beach walk. Would be impossible during the season. Don't bother.

    Not a bad golf experience. The clubhouse and 19th are nice but small and checking in was fast and easy. The practice facilities were nice other than no grass on the practice tees. Basic low country golf with few memorable holes. Would play again.

    We weren't able to go in but could see in the windows. Lovely church, lots of natural light. Serene and peaceful cemetery surrounding it.

    Fantastic ocean scenes in their art collection' Many other coastal items throughout the store. Every time we are in the area we end up buying some ocean related item. Fair pricing compared to shops in the Myrtle Beach area.

    Fantastic place with some amazing art. Really friendly and unpretentious staff that looked after my wife and I really well. Only reason for not buying is my luggage allowance !

    This was our 2nd course at the WorldAm. It was a drive from our stay in Myrtle Beach but well worth the trip. The fairways and greens were in great shape. If it wasn't for the fog on our first 5 holes, most of my foursome may have had better scores. This course is a must play if you are playing golf in Myrtle Beach.

    Our son and now daughter in law were married there. Towards sunset, the tide was in and the sun setting was perfect for pictures. The chapel is small but in pandemic times, it was the right size for our small gathering.

    This is a fine test of golf for any level or player. The fairways are growing in nicely with the over seeding and the greens are excellent. The traps on this course come into play on almost every drive and second shot during the round. They are well maintained and have packed deep sand in each trap. Water come into play on a lot o holes but it is mainly on the sides of the holes. There are a few holes that due have forced carries over water but they make those holes challenging. It is a drive from MB but to play on this well maintained fun challenging course, it is worth the drive. An excellent day on the links!

    This is a Dan Maples design in Pawleys Plantation on the site of an historic plantation. The live oaks were awesome (with the spanish moss) and there are many signs pointing out the history of the area. There was a nice practice area, including a large range and practice green and another green with a practice bunker, but the tees were not in great shape.

    The straightforward design is classic "lay of the land" with very little elevation change, which makes sense for the coast, and was in good shape. There were only a few forced carries over water, which makes the course friendly for women golfers.

    There is a good variety of holes, long and short and doglegs both ways and a few straight holes. The tees were a little long for a senior golfers and women and it would have been nice if they were a few hundred yard shorter, especially down here at sea level. Overall a nice round of golf.

    This was my first visit at the Heritage Club and I am somewhat ambivalent as to whether I will play it again during future visits in the Pawleys area. The course was in excellent condition and the greens may have been the best of the 5 courses I played in the area this Spring. But despite large oak trees and a nice clubhouse, I someone find that the course lacks the « wow » factor. The other gentleman in our group, a much better golfer than me, cleary enjoyed the course.
