Why groups book it
What you are paying for at Litchfield Country Club
The pedigree
Willard Byrd
A Traditional layout that opened in 1966 and plays to a par of 72 over 6,692 yards.
The test
Slope 131
6,692 yards and a slope of 131. Enough teeth to be worth the tee time, fair enough that the whole group finishes with a card worth signing.
The greens
Tif Eagle
Putting surfaces are Tif Eagle. 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 course
The golf at Litchfield Country Club
Sixty years of play sit behind this one. Willard Byrd laid out Litchfield Country Club in 1966 at Pawleys Island, and it remains a traditional parkland course in a part of the Strand that feels a long way from the resort strip. The scorecard is inviting rather than intimidating: par 72 over 6,692 yards with a slope of 131 and a difficulty rating of easy. Tif Eagle greens finish the holes. Practice facilities cover a driving range, putting green and chipping green. One reviewer described the parkland setting as outstanding, and did so in the same breath as reporting a hole in one, which says something about how the course rewards a good day.

The reviews describe a course people enjoy while being clear-eyed about its condition. Across 322 reviews the average is 3.70. The distribution is unusual in that four stars is the most common rating at 134, ahead of 73 five-star reviews, which is the profile of a course that satisfies more often than it thrills. Behind that sit 72 three-star, 30 two-star and 13 one-star ratings. Golfers write about enjoying the round, posting personal best scores, and looking forward to coming back, and several call it an outstanding club.
The criticism concentrates almost entirely on the greens. The harshest reviews call them unplayable and express surprise at their poor condition, and one reviewer rated the course the worst they played on their trip. Overall course condition is described by others as below average. Slow play also appears in the review language, and one golfer noted the course being very crowded on the day they played, though they credited the staff with managing it well. Staff is the most consistently praised element across the whole review body, with particular mention of accommodating golfers through weather problems. The picture that emerges is a likeable old course with a service culture running ahead of its agronomy, and a layout that has held its shape since 1966 even when the putting surfaces have not.

Great course and very friendly staff.
Another outstanding club this week. Looking forward to coming back.
Had a great time!
Only because of the weather
Club House and Driving Range are in need of repair and updating, Golf course was in Very good Shape, with the exception of the 3 holes where they are replacing the greens
not worth rating. easily the worst course. greens unplayable
Couple of bad greens
A few greens weren’t in good shape. Overall wasn’t bad, but not as good as others in the area. Fun track, short with lots of dog legs. Rewards strategic golf.
Only played 9 holes. Rained out.
Was amazed at the poor condition of the greens
Very nice for the price.
Another plantation turned golf course. Dog leg city. Fairways and greens were excellent. Felt more like a very nice course for locals, and leagues, etc.
Enjoyed the track. Challenging layout.m tees in rough shape, but fairways and greens excellent. Best bunkers of the week.
Great place. Condo was a 10 minute walk to the beach which is what we wanted. Litchfield CC was a nice track to play.
I seem to like this course and play well there. Like Murrel's Inlet area.
Course in good shape, greens a bit slow, pace of play was slow
Outstanding Parkland setting my wife got a hole in one
#3 great starting course
Staff was pleasant, course in good shape even with relatively slow greens
Loved it, played terrible, but the course was in great condition and everyone in the group enjoyed their experience
The staff were very helpful, welcoming and friendly!
