Caledonia Golf & Fish Club
About
Caledonia Golf and Fish Club may well be the preeminent golf course along the Grand Strand. Located on Pawleys Island on the site of a colonial rice plantation, it opened in 1994 to rave reviews from all the major golf publications.
It has all the historical credentials for plantation golf: A Scottish immigrant named Robert Nesbit bought the land in 1797 and named it Caledonia, the Roman name for Scotland. Built upon the site of an authentic colonial rice plantation, Caledonia Golf & Fish Club has captured world-wide recognition for its breathtaking aesthetic beauty as well as its exceptional design. Careful to preserve the natural surrounding, including hundreds of centuries old live oaks, architect Mike Strantz has risen to the top of the most wanted designer list with this, his first solo design.

Over-rated
Course is EXTREMELY over-rated. It's nice, but having played about 80 courses in the Grand Strand I can easily think of at least a dozen I'd rather play again than this. Seriously - no driving range to warm up? OK, the low-country chowder was nice (but not the best - Pine Lakes is better) and some holes were nice, but this course is NOT "memorable"! On the south strand I'd rather play Pawleys or Heritage - and True Blue. And you finish the front 9 on an "excuse me?" par-3 that seems to have been added to fit the driveway? NO!!
Great Course, proud of it!
I truly love this course, I just wish it didn't cost over 100 to play it, even in the off season.
Beautiful course in wonderful condition. I will definitely play here again
I hosted my father as an early birthday present to him- he has always talked about playing Caledonia but would never spend the money. This course lived up to and exceeded our expectations. Conditioning was excellent, staff were all very friendly and helpful. The course is very challenging if you're in the wrong position, greens are pristine. We will be back, for sure.
One of the Grand Strand's best
I had forgotten how good Caledonia was until I got to play it again this October. First off, Mike Strantz was a great architect and this is one of his finest. Secondly, conditioning here is almost Augusta-like. Pure white bunkers, flawless turf conditions and one well-designed hole after another make this one of the most enjoyable courses in the country. Terrific 18th hole and clubhouse.
Wow! What an amazing course and excellent condition!
Played Caledonia 6/7/2013. What an amazing course! During a period when every other course we played were sub par and struggling, Caledonia was in superb condition! The attention to detail on the course is stupendous. Every flowerbed, tee box and green were amazingly manicured. This course is definitely worth the money! Thanks to the ground and club staff; you made a our experience an unforgeable one!!
Best golf experiance ever
yes, this course is expensive and I could not afford to play it on a regular basis, but it was the best golf experience of my life and worth every penny. Every hole is interesting and a challenge and the course conditions were great.
Wonderful and scenic course but expensive
We golfed here in 2010 and were so impressed that we needed to golf it again this season. The $150 fees were expensive, but we deemed it worth it since it was so beautifully laid out and maintained. In 2010 we had ample time to play, but moved along well. In 2013 the tee times were spaced much closer together and we waited on each hole. To the credit of the rangers, they tried to move slower players along but the round was still in excess of 5 hours. We're glad we went back, but it is not worth $150 (or more) when the play is this slow. But in the end it is one of the more beautiful courses we have played around the country.
Great Course
Really Nice, great layout, good Challenge of golf, but fair for all handicappers with all the tee offerings.
Very nice, but just once, pricey
Caledonia is a course that everyone should play once. It lives up to the hype. But given the calibre and price of other courses in Myrtle, I wouldn't pay $150+ more than once. That's a bit much when you can play great courses for under $100 in the area.
