Wachesaw Plantation Club
Set against the tranquil Lowcountry landscape of Murrells Inlet, Wachesaw Plantation Club presents a private 18-hole course that challenges golfers with water hazards and rolling fairways.

Course Overview
Wachesaw Plantation Club in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, offers a golf experience shaped by its southern Lowcountry setting and carefully maintained conditions. This private, 18-hole course blends elements of parkland and waterway golf, designed to challenge players while providing a visually engaging round. Towering pines and hardwoods line the fairways, while strategically placed water hazards and marshy wetlands come into play on several holes, requiring a thoughtful approach off the tee and precision into the greens.
The layout spreads across gently rolling terrain, featuring lush fairways that demand both accuracy and tactical shot-making. The course’s design balances challenge and accessibility, welcoming a range of skill levels. Golfers with mid to low handicaps will find the length and hazards a test of skill, while more casual players can enjoy multiple tee boxes that keep the course playable but rewarding.
Wachesaw’s greens are consistently described as being in excellent condition, true to their reputation for fast and smooth putting surfaces. One of the more memorable holes tests golfers with a water-protected green that challenges both distance control and club selection. The overall setting brings together natural marsh scenery with manicured landscapes, providing visual interest without overwhelming players with unnecessary gimmicks.
Beyond the course, the clubhouse offers a refined atmosphere focused on comfort and Southern hospitality. Golfers appreciate easy access to well-appointed facilities, including a pro shop, dining options, and practice areas that support warm-up or skill refinement.
Wachesaw Plantation Club encourages walking, with terrain that is moderate but pleasant. Players who prefer carts can request them, though many enjoy the pace and connection to the surroundings on foot. Planning a visit means embracing warmish weather typical of coastal South Carolina and the chance to engage with both golf and nature in a balanced setting.
For private members, the club’s blend of championship-caliber conditions and laid-back ambiance makes it a distinctive choice in the region, offering golf that is as demanding as it is inviting.

We chose Wachesaw Plantation Club as the venue for our wedding and we are so happy that we did. Brayer and the entire team made our wedding day better than we could have ever imagined. The venue is gorgeous in itself but the food and hospitality were impeccable. Our guests are still raving about their dinner. We had a few guests stay in the cottages on the grounds and they were so happy with their accommodations. Brayer captured our vision perfectly and we would not have changed a single thing about our day. Thank you again so much for the most amazing day of our lives. We could not have asked for better!
