Wachesaw Plantation Club
The 18-hole Wachesaw Plantation Club in Murrells Inlet, SC is a private golf course that opened in 1986. Designed by Andy Banfield and Tom Fazio, Wachesaw Plantation Club measures 6889 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 134 and a 73.5 USGA rating. The course features 3 sets of tees for different skill levels. The greens are tif-eagle and the fairways are bermuda.
In an area that boasts over 100 championship golf courses, Wachesaw Golf Club is regarded as one of the best, and is presently one of only two private, member-owned golf clubs on the Grand Strand. When it first opened in 1986, Golf Digest dubbed it the No. 1 course in Myrtle Beach. Many would argue that still holds true today.
The 18-hole, par-72 layout is a Tom Fazio course with rolling fairways and bentgrass greens. At Wachesaw, Fazio created a course that is both graceful and dramatic in its contrasts. Love grass sprouts like unruly hair from atop smooth mounds, and buff-colored bunkers cut large swaths through the green expanse. Greens framed by azaleas add to the beauty. It's truly a members course, one that every member enjoys playing again and again.
