There are a number of plantation style golf courses on the Waccamaw Neck. Thats the stretch of land bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Waccamaw River and Intra-coastal Waterway on the other. These courses have joined together to establish a marketing effort to highlight the Waccamaw Golf Trail.

 

After you finish that round of golf in the morning, you may find time for some personal or group golf instruction at the Steve Dresser Golf Academy located at True Blue Plantation. Steve and his PGA staff of instructors will help take your game to the next level.

 

Georgetown County and the surrounding areas have so many other attractions and opportunities for family entertainment beside golf. The Georgetown County Visitors Bureau offers a great source of information.

 

Living on the Waccamaw Neck offers an experience uniquely different than that found further north on the Grand Strand. This area has a tremendous southern heritage of indigo and rice plantations that produced some of the wealthiest aristocrats in the country during that early period in history. Many of the communities are built on the sites of these old plantations or along the beaches and dunes were the plantation owners families spent the summer months. The Litchfield Plantation offers visitors a taste of what life must have been like in those times. At Heritage Plantation, you will find a golf and waterway community just minutes from Pawleys Island beaches, shopping, fine or casual dining. Pawleys Plantation is another popular golf community which provides a peaceful escape from everyday stress and strain. Wachesaw Plantation is a private golf, tennis and equestrian community which borders the Waccamaw River and it like the Litchfield Plantation has its own restaurant in the community for those who never like to leave paradise. 

 

But for those who do venture out, nearby you will find attractions such as famous gardens and sculptures in Brookgreen Gardens , the salt marsh and beach in Huntington Beach State Park and the Hobcaw Barony wildlife refuge.
