PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. — The Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at Pawleys Plantation Golf and Country Club in Pawleys Island, S.C. has been named one of the 25 best golf courses in South Carolina by the prestigious South Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel. The panel’s list of the best places to play in the state appeared in the just-released fall 2007 issue of Palmetto Golfer, the official magazine of the South Carolina Golf Association.
“To be ranked among the state’s top 25 courses by the South Carolina Panel is a true honor,” said Jann Walker, director of marketing at Pawleys Plantation. “Unlike other ratings panels, the S.C. panel members have to actually play a course before they can vote on it. That means that their rankings are based on criteria that can only be met by experiencing a golf course such as routing, conditioning, memorability and aesthetics. In every one of the categories, Pawleys Plantation delivers and we thank the panel members for acknowledging that we are one of the state’s best.”
The South Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel consists of 128 avid golfers from throughout the state including golf writers, professional golfers, collegiate golf coaches, golf course superintendents and business people.
The 25 Best You Can Play In S.C. “is a list that any state in the nation would be proud to offer,” said Mike Whitaker, the panel’s executive director. “It’s a list that the vast majority of states would die to have.”
