The Heritage Club on Pawleys Island

The Heritage Club golf course, located south of Myrtle Beach on Pawleys Island, is one of the real gems of the Waccamaw Golf Trail. The golf course is filled with old, mossy oaks, Waccamaw River and former rice plantation scenery, making it one of the top resort plays for anyone on a Myrtle Beach golf vacation.

The golf course borders fellow gems Caledonia Golf & Fish Club and True Blue, but Heritage holds its own among America's Top 100 Public Courses according to Golf Digest, thanks to a stunning back nine and dramatic, par-5 18th hole. This is a shotmaker's course, and low-handicappers will appreciate the shot-shaping and ball placement required to score well here. The Heritage Club also features some of the area's largest and most undulating greens, featuring multiple levels and heavy slopes.

One of the courses in the Legends Golf Group, the Heritage Club plays a brawny 7,118 yards from the championship tees and a par 71.
