About the course
Why golfers play Founders Club at Pawleys Island
Founders Club at Pawleys Island opened in 2008 and brings a distinct look to the South Strand, with natural sand dunes and native grasses in place of the usual tree lines. At 7,007 yards with a slope of 142 and a course rating of 74.2, the course is a stern test that suits low handicaps and confident players, though wide fairways give higher handicaps room to enjoy it from the forward tees. The challenge sits in the green complexes, and the par 4 12th stands out for its bunkering and views. Bermuda surfaces hold up well year round, and the course is bookable on our live tee sheet. In a Pawleys Island golf package it pairs naturally with Pawleys Plantation and the other Waccamaw courses.

★★★★★“Course was wonderful! Friendly staff. I highly recommend this course”
★★★★★“Course conditions were poor with tee complexes having little if any grass. Rain checks were extremely hard to acquire after rain forced us to give up the round.”
★★★★★“A good challenge, creative layout.”
★★★★★“Unfortunately a rain-out day but staff were great and helped us get rainchecks which we used later in day under slightly better rain conditions for 9 holes”

★★★★★“By far the nicest of the 4”
★★★★★“Loved the course, and layout. Course was in great shape and the staff were awesome!”
★★★★★“Great course. Layout was fun. Only downside is the 3 spot hitting mats into a net as a range.”
★★★★★“Exceptional staff. Great, beautiful, course. Tim and Larry exceptional to deal with. Great team - Great course”
★★★★★“Booking us a course in that condition was pretty outrageous. In other circumstances, I’m sure it would’ve been a great course.”
★★★★★“Initial booking of the trip we were told that the scheduled dates for aeration were already determined, and our courses would not be affected while we were there. A week out on Instagram I saw that this course got punched. Craig said that he was going to look into it and let us know if we would need to switch courses reach back out to Craig several times and never got an answer. The course was also running a special at reduced rates which we did not get to take part in because we already paid full. These greens were in very questionable shape and would’ve been nice to be able to play a different course considering we flow down to play top courses.”
From the course: This review is dead on!! Carter's group were excellent and easy to work with i checked on Founders Club twice and really felt as though it would be fine in hindsight should have moved them. Completely on me Carter much apologies CK

★★★★★“Very dry and hard to play”
★★★★★“Had afternoon tee time and a little backed on the box so maybe over booked. Good course, not great.”
★★★★★“Enjoyable course”
★★★★★“It has a great layout, but the fairways are too sandy! I wouldn't want to play it in the future!”
★★★★★“Course received a ton of rain the night before we played that stopped about 30 minutes before tee time. But midway the front, the course had drained very well”
★★★★★“OK condition, not as good as past years”
