Why groups book it

What you are paying for at Heritage Golf Club

The pedigree

Dan Maples

A Lowcountry layout that opened in 1986 and plays to a par of 71 over 6,960 yards.

The test

Slope 145

A slope of 145 over 6,960 yards from the tips. The back tees are a genuine examination for a scratch player, and the forward sets keep everyone else moving.

The greens

Bermuda

Putting surfaces are Bermuda. The practice ground carries a chipping green, a driving range and a putting green, so the speed is no surprise on the first green.

The verdict

4.5 out of 5

Across 1,243 reviews left by golfers who booked through us, 88% scored Heritage Golf Club four stars or better. None of it is edited and none of it is paid for.

The course

The golf at Heritage Golf Club

Heritage is a par 71 layout of 6,960 yards on Bermuda greens, and the slope of 145 is the number that matters. Set against a par one under the norm and a yardage that is not extreme, that rating points to a course where accuracy is priced higher than distance.

Address
478 Heritage Dr, Pawleys Island, SC 29585

The course record is 68, held by Mark Calcavecchia, which is a useful measure of how the layout defends itself. A tour winner going three under par is not a scoring record that suggests an easy day. Practice facilities are complete, with a chipping green, driving range and putting green on site at 478 Heritage Drive.

Review evidence is limited. Twelve reviews are on file with an average of 3.42, and no detailed star split or review language is available. That sample is too small to say anything reliable about current conditioning or service, so the case for Heritage rests on the design numbers rather than on golfer consensus.

Great condition, friendly staff, very nice layout with large undulating greens where landing on right quadrant is a premium. Greens were rolling 10/10.5 It came with complementary breakfast and lunch. Played the front in 1.5hr, back 2.5hrs. I will definitely play it again next time I’m back in Pawleys Island

★★★ ★★ October 2026

Afternoon tee times started 35 minutes late, ranger kept telling us we were 5 minutes behind despite us waiting on every tee box for the group in front of us.

Shockingly bad conditions. I've played here 2x before and thought was 1 of the nicest courses I'd ever been on so to see in this state is really sad.

Michel, Gatineau
★★★ ★★ May 2026

course was a little spotty. Tee boxes not great.

Andrew, Oxford
★★★★★ April 2026

The course was in excellent shape again and has a great layout. We always include it in our list to play. Having breakfast, lunch and two beers included is an added bonus. The pace of play was ok. The only negative was that we barely made it into the clubhouse in time to order our lunch as the staff wanted to close the kitchen at 3pm. They were still professional but clearly would have preferred to shut down. Since we cannot control the pace of play ahead of us, I will request an earlier tee time next year to avoid this issue.

★★★★ ★ August 2025

We are from NJ and flew down to play some Myrtle Beach Golf for a long weekend. First off, I love this course and chose to play this course again, but it seemed like it was over booked. The course was in good shape. We were teamed up with another 2some. Our 4some waited at every tee box to tee off making for (another) looong day of golf. Our tee time was for 9:56am and we didn’t finish until 3:20pm. At 3:20 we walked into the clubhouse-Hungry-for our included free lunch only to be told “the kitchen closed at 3pm” at which time were were offered either a hot dog or a pre-made sandwich sealed in a plastic container sitting in a small fridge and a small bag of chips. I took a hot dog and my son took a sandwich. As we were finishing up the hot dog and sandwich, at 3:35pm, a Server walks out of the back with a full large tray of hot Cheeseburgers and French fries on plates and proceeds to serve a group of golfers (6) sitting next to us. How hard would it have been for the Bartender to run in the back to add 2 more hot cheeseburgers/fries to the Cook after I told her our round included lunch off the menu? However, she didn’t care at all-NOT COOL! This was a total let down after paying for the golf package that INCLUDED a nice lunch off the menu. This was not appreciated at all.

Absolutely terrible that tee times are scheduled at 8 minute intervals. Waited on every shot. A rush atmosphere that was not acceptable

★★★ ★★ April 2025

I gave a 3 as my rating. This has nothing to do with the course or most of the staff. When we arrived we were greeted by the golf staff and they were pleasant and helpful. The golf course was in decent shape and it was challenging. My only issue with Heritage was the restaurant/Bar staff. Part of our package included breakfast lunch and two beers. We arrived on time to golf but did not have time for breakfast. When I inquired in the restaurant about using the breakfast coupon for a breakfast bar, I was told by a very rude employee we can't and I must pay for the $5 breakfast bar. I paid for the breakfast bar and moved on. At the end of our round we decided to use the lunch coupon. When we entered the restaurant it was full and we were greeted by the same rude employee. We were told to sit in the adjacent room and that we had 5 minutes to order or we would not be able to use the coupons. The employee taking our order was not very nice and when they took our order they became rude. We were not doing anything to cause this rudeness and it was a complete turn off.
