October 11, 2005, Pawleys Island, S.C. – Pawleys Plantation’s Jack Nicklaus – designed golf course is one of the Grand Strand’s best courses, according to Golf Digest’s panel of raters, a group of 800-plus low-handicap golfers. The panel placed Pawleys Plantation solidly within the Grand Strand’s top 20 courses, ranking it number 17 on Golf Digest’s "first-ever" list of the "Top 50 Courses Of Myrtle Beach." The list appears in the November issue of the magazine and online at golfdigest.com/myrtle.
"It’s very exciting to be so highly regarded by Golf Digest’s raters,” said Jann Walker, director of marketing at Pawleys Plantation. "These are the same players that rank ‘America’s 100 Greatest Courses’ and they use a very impartial, nonpolitical approach, selecting courses solely on their merits. So, it is particularly gratifying to see that they appreciate all the great qualities of our Jack Nicklaus golf course and hold it in so high esteem."
