Pawleys
Plantation Ranked Among Top 50 Courses In South Carolina By
SC Golf Course Ratings Panel
03-19-2008
Pawleys Island,
S.C. — The Jack Nicklaus signature golf course at Pawleys Plantation
Golf and Country Club in Pawleys Island, S.C. has been ranked
among the Top 50 golf courses in the state of South Carolina by the prestigious South Carolina Golf
Course Ratings Panel. The panel’s list of the best public and private
places to play in the state appears in the just-released spring,
2008 issue of Palmetto Golfer, the official magazine of the South
Carolina Golf Association.
“We
are thrilled to be recognized among the state’s very best,” said
Jann Walker, director of marketing at Pawleys Plantation. “South Carolina is
one of the top states in the nation for golf with over 380 courses,
so competition to be ranked among the Top 50 is stiff. To be in
the company of courses like Harbour Town Golf Links and the Ocean
Course is a true honor and it’s a tribute to both Jack Nicklaus’
fine design and a compliment to our staff who work so hard to
deliver an extraordinary golf experience at Pawleys.”
The South
Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel consists of 125 avid golfers
from throughout the state including golf writers, professional
golfers, collegiate golf coaches, golf course superintendents
and business people. In contrast to some other ratings panels,
the S.C. panel members are required to actually play a course
before they can vote on it. That means that their rankings are
based on criteria that can only be met by experiencing a golf
course such as routing, conditioning, memorability and aesthetics.
In addition
to being ranked among the Top 50 courses in the state, Pawleys Plantation
is among South Carolina’s
Top 25 public access courses. Pawleys Plantation offers numerous
“stay and play” golf packages (see www.PawleysPlantation.com) and
is one of the primary accommodations and golf partners in the new
Waccamaw Golf Trail (see www.pawleysplantation.com/packages.cfm).
Renowned
for its casual elegance and exceptional service, Pawleys Plantation
is the premier resort on the Waccamaw Neck of coastal Georgetown
County, S.C., just
south of Myrtle Beach.
Surrounded by spectacular natural wetlands, salt marshes and a
600-acre nature preserve, the resort offers exceptional accommodations
in charming Lowcountry fairway villas. Its Jack Nicklaus golf
course is ranked as one of “America’s Top Courses” by Zagat Survey
and as one of the top 20 courses in Myrtle
Beach by Golf Digest.
