Caledonia’s finishing hole is part of a beautiful yet tough finishing stretch
April 9, 2012, Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Caledonia Golf and Fish Club’s par-4 18th hole has been recognized as the fifth “Most Memorable Golf Hole” in the state for 2012 by the South Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel.
The majority of more than 100 voting panelists chose Harbour Town’s finishing par-4 hole as the most memorable, followed by the par-3 17th at Kiawah Island Resort’s Ocean Course. The par-5 13th hole at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club was listed as third most memorable and the short mountaintop par-3 13th hole at The Cliffs at Glassy was voted fourth on the list.
The finishing hole at Caledonia measures a modest 383 yards, but a pinpoint tee shot is needed to feel confident about the approach to a peninsula green in front of a spectacular clubhouse overlooking the marshland.
“Our 18th hole is clearly a great way to conclude your round,” said Todd Welden, Caledonia director of golf. “The hole is a make-or-break decision right from the tee and it is an exclamation point on a tough finishing stretch of four holes designed by Mike Strantz.”
Golfweek recently ranked Caledonia the third “Best Course You Can Play” in South Carolina for 2012. It is also one of the 12 courses that comprise the Waccamaw Golf Trail on the southern end of the Grand Strand.
The South Carolina Ratings Panel also recognized (including ties) the 11th hole at the Country Club of Charleston, the 17th at Harbour Town, the 17th at The Cliffs at Keowee Vineyards, the 18th at the Kiawah Island Resort’s Ocean Course, the 18th at Wild Dunes (Links Course) and the 6th at Yeamans Hall Club.

The picturesque 18th borders the Plantation’s old ricefield and requires a precise tee shot that sets up a difficult second shot: a forced carry onto a green that is watched closely by the beautiful antebellum style clubhouse.
