Founders Club, Pawleys Is.
Founders Club at Pawleys Island was originally known as Sea Gull Golf Club. Established in 1966, it held the honour of being the fourth oldest course on the Grand Strand. More recently former Gary Player lead designer Thomas Walker transformed the original rather flat layout into a course that now features sloping fairways, bunkers, elevation changes, and mounding.
Natural beach sand fills the waste areas, and native grasses, such as love and bluestem, populate the mounds and waste areas. This makes for an “ocean-style” course, which gives golfers a unique coastal-feel golfing experience. Wetlands, live oaks, and pines add further aesthetic value to the course.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
