Founders Club at Pawleys Island

7829 Ocean Hwy. · Pawleys Island SC, 29585

Sitting comfortably in the top tier of American courses, the Founders Club is located along the South Strand in quaint and quiet Pawleys Island. Golfers visiting Myrtle Beach appreciate the course for its unique look that stands out from its Lowcountry cousins. Raised fairways and minimal cart paths preserve a peaceful atmosphere at Founders Club.

Course Highlights

  • Named Myrtle Beach Golf Course of the Year in 2011 by the Myrtle Beach Area Golf Course Owners Association
  • Cart paths are kept to a minimum on this “ocean-style” course, which gives golfers a unique coastal-feel golfing experience – and makes the course senior friendly.
  • The 5,000-square-foot Lowcountry-style clubhouse houses the upscale yet comfortable Grill Room and well-stocked Pro Shop, and it features a wrap-around porch that overlooks the 10th and 18th holes.
