Experience Award Winning South Carolina Golf

The Golf Program at Wachesaw Plantation Club is welcoming of all members, every day, at every skill level. Come experience the pace of play and privileges that can only be offered at a true, private country club.

Crafted by internationally acclaimed Tom Fazio, Wachesaw’s Golf Course was designed to take advantage of the site’s inherent beauty and interesting elevation changes not typically found in the Carolina Low Country. Mike Strantz worked for Fazio at the time and assisted on the project. The unexpected rolling fairways are thoughtfully designed to weave through the giant oaks strategically placed on the course. This unique setup provides golfers of varying skill a memorable and challenging, yet enjoyable experience.

“Our goal is to provide Members and their Guests an unparalleled experience through a commitment to gracious hospitality and exemplary service. New members will quickly achieve a sense of belonging due to the atmosphere the staff has created.”
