Prestwick Country Club: Best Golf Course in South Carolina 2025

Along the Grand Strand, golf isn’t just a pastime — it’s part of the landscape, woven into our pine forests, tidal marshes, and breezy coastal afternoons. Nearly one hundred courses stretch across the Myrtle Beach region, each with its own personality. Yet this year, one familiar favorite rose above them all.

Prestwick Country Club has been named the 2025 South Carolina Golf Course of the Year

and for many who have walked its fairways, the news feels perfectly fitting.

This is a course with presence.
Not simply because of its pedigree — designed by Pete and P.B. Dye, architects whose work is known for stirring both excitement and respect — but because Prestwick holds itself with the quiet confidence of a place that knows exactly what it is.

The fairways wind through dunes shaped by wind and time. Water guards greens where strategy matters as much as strength. Pot bunkers and the signature wooden accents create the unmistakable look and feel of a classic, coastal championship course.

But what makes Prestwick memorable is how it balances that challenge with approachability.
Six tee placements allow golfers to determine their experience. Some come for a stern test; others for a relaxed round among friends. Either way, the course adjusts without losing its identity.

A Course That Has Grown With Its Community

Prestwick opened more than 35 years ago, yet it never feels dated. Its greens are consistently maintained with care, rolling true and fast. The clubhouse and restaurant have seen thoughtful renovations, keeping the atmosphere fresh without losing its warmth.

And beyond the fairways and scorecards, the course has built meaningful roots in the region.
Local high school golfers have trained here for decades. Community groups and charities have benefitted from events and fundraising. The Horry County Special Olympics golf team now calls Prestwick home, a partnership that reflects the welcoming spirit that stretches far beyond the game itself.

This award recognizes more than a course — it recognizes stewardship, hospitality, and the kind of community involvement that enriches life in our coastal towns.

A Perfect Pairing: Golf and a Grand Strand Getaway

For travelers, Prestwick is one of those rare experiences that feels both refined and relaxed. Play a morning round, then spend the afternoon toes-in-the-sand or exploring shops and restaurants near the beach.
