Caledonia Golf & Fish Club has earned “Best in Region” honors as one of 13 Grand Strand designs included in the South Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel’s (SCGCRP) 2019 release of its “Best You Can Play” Public Access Courses in South Carolina.

The additional Myrtle Beach-area designs in this group (listed alphabetically) include:
- Grande Dunes Resort Course, Myrtle Beach
- Heritage Club, Pawleys Island
- Pawleys Plantation Golf & Country Club, Pawleys Island
- Pine Lakes Country Club, Myrtle Beach
- Prestwick Country Club, Myrtle Beach
- Tidewater Golf Club, North Myrtle Beach
- TPC Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet
- True Blue Golf Club, Pawleys Island\
The SCGCRP releases its “Best You Can Play” list biannually in odd-numbered years, based on the choices of golf enthusiasts that represent a wide range of occupations, handicaps and backgrounds. The group is charged annually with identifying the best South Carolina golf has to offer.
In even-numbered years, the panel releases its choices of South Carolina’s 50 Best Courses, public or private. Of their 2019 “Best You Can Play” honorees, The Dunes Club (No. 9), Caledonia (No. 12), Tidewater (No. 27), True Blue (No. 40), Grande Dunes (No. 44), Barefoot-Dye (No. 46) and TPC Myrtle Beach (No. 47) are all among the SCGCRP’s 2018 list of best overall courses.
