About the course

Why golfers play Heritage Club

Your day at the Heritage Club is a trip back in time. Built on two of South Carolina's historic plantations along the scenic Waccamaw River, the Heritage Club is a traditional favorite of Grand Strang golfers. Over 600 acres of giant magnolias, freshwater lakes and marshes have been transformed into a golf course that rivals any course in the Southeast. Honored by Golf Digest as #46 in the "Top 100 Public Courses in America" and recently rated 4.5 stars in "Places to Play," the Heritage Club is a mixture of pure Southern charm and hospitality. It is a "must play" on your next trip.

James · Savannah
★★★★★

“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.”

William · Whitinsville
★★★★★

“Wow, a beautiful course and experience. The o Ly down side are the dry and ugly tee offs”

Michel · Gatineau
★★★★★

“course was a little spotty. Tee boxes not great.”

Andrew · Oxford
★★★★★

“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.”

“First time here and absolutely loved.”
