The 18-hole Prestwick Country Club in Surfside Beach, SC is a semi-private golf course that opened in 1989. Designed by Pete Dye, Prestwick Country Club measures 7058 yards from the longest tees and has a slope rating of 140 and a 74.2 USGA rating. The course features 4 sets of tees for different skill levels. Greens and fairways are bermuda.
Designed in the classic Scottish tradition, our masterful six-million dollar creation by Pete and P.B. Dye surrounds a sparkling 20 acre freshwater lake, bordered on the west by a 20,000 square foot colonial clubhouse.
The front nine winds through a pine forest in the manner reminiscent of the world famous Dye-designed Harbourtown Golf Course. Only 1/4 mile away from the ocean, the back nine is a more open layout similar to Dye's PGA West course and play is influenced by the prevailing ocean wind.
Prestwick features 8 holes where water comes into play.
Over 1.3 million cubic yards of earth were moved in creating towering Scottish berms, stairway and church pew bunkers, and undulating greens. In addition, more than 10,000 railroad ties were used to create another classic Dye design. Dramatic elevation changes ranging up to thirty feet add an exceptional feature to this coastal location.
Prestwick has been recognized as one of South Carolina's top golf courses and remains enjoyable with extremely limited non-member play and great year-round course conditioning.
