About the course
Why golfers play Heritage Club
Heritage Club in Pawleys Island is a Dan Maples design from 1986 laid out on a former rice plantation along the Waccamaw River, with Mike Strantz later reworking the green complexes. At 6,960 yards, par 71, with a slope of 139 and a course rating of 74.1, the course is a stern test suited to low handicaps and confident players, and its huge, boldly contoured greens keep every group thinking. The par 3 13th, 235 yards over water to a kidney shaped green, is the hole visitors talk about, with the short par 4 12th and a water guarded 18th close behind. Centuries old live oaks, magnolias and a traditional manor clubhouse complete the setting. It is a cornerstone of a Pawleys Island golf package built around the Waccamaw courses.

★★★★★“Yet again they pack the tee times too tight. 5+ hour round”
★★★★★“Greens were punched and very slow”
★★★★★“Greens under maintenance”
★★★★★“Good course design, but course has not been maintained—would not play again”
★★★★★“Shockingly bad conditions. I've played here 2x before and thought was 1 of the nicest courses I'd ever been on so to see in this state is really sad.”
★★★★★“Wow, a beautiful course and experience. The o Ly down side are the dry and ugly tee offs”
★★★★★“course was a little spotty. Tee boxes not great.”
★★★★★“The course was in excellent shape again and has a great layout. We always include it in our list to play. Having breakfast, lunch and two beers included is an added bonus. The pace of play was ok. The only negative was that we barely made it into the clubhouse in time to order our lunch as the staff wanted to close the kitchen at 3pm. They were still professional but clearly would have preferred to shut down. Since we cannot control the pace of play ahead of us, I will request an earlier tee time next year to avoid this issue.”

★★★★★“We are from NJ and flew down to play some Myrtle Beach Golf for a long weekend. First off, I love this course and chose to play this course again, but it seemed like it was over booked. The course was in good shape. We were teamed up with another 2some. Our 4some waited at every tee box to tee off making for (another) looong day of golf. Our tee time was for 9:56am and we didn’t finish until 3:20pm. At 3:20 we walked into the clubhouse-Hungry-for our included free lunch only to be told “the kitchen closed at 3pm” at which time were were offered either a hot dog or a pre-made sandwich sealed in a plastic container sitting in a small fridge and a small bag of chips. I took a hot dog and my son took a sandwich. As we were finishing up the hot dog and sandwich, at 3:35pm, a Server walks out of the back with a full large tray of hot Cheeseburgers and French fries on plates and proceeds to serve a group of golfers (6) sitting next to us. How hard would it have been for the Bartender to run in the back to add 2 more hot cheeseburgers/fries to the Cook after I told her our round included lunch off the menu? However, she didn’t care at all-NOT COOL! This was a total let down after paying for the golf package that INCLUDED a nice lunch off the menu. This was not appreciated at all.”
★★★★★“Golf staff were great the restaurant staff were terrible. Golf course was good”
★★★★★“Enjoyed the course”
★★★★★“beautiful course. over 6 hour round. started on hole 10 even when tee times were made 359 days in advance”
★★★★★“Absolutely terrible that tee times are scheduled at 8 minute intervals. Waited on every shot. A rush atmosphere that was not acceptable”
