Prestwick Country Club Takes Home the Title of Golf Course of the Year
In a fantastic triumph for the local golf community, Prestwick Country Club has been named the 2025 South Carolina Golf Course of the Year. This prestigious accolade comes courtesy of the South Carolina Golf Course Owners Association, recognizing the club’s commitment to excellence in course quality, management, community involvement, and contributions to the game of golf.
Why Prestwick Stands Out
What makes Prestwick Country Club truly special? A huge part of its appeal lies in its fast and well-conditioned greens. Renowned among golf enthusiasts, the club ensures that players experience a course that is always in prime condition. Its beauty is also undeniable, thanks to the exceptional design by acclaimed architects Pete and P.B. Dye. With features such as scenic dunes, water hazards, and pot bunkers, every hole offers a new challenge and a stunning view.
Golf for Everyone
One of the reasons golfers adore Prestwick is the wide range of options available for players of all skill levels. With six sets of tees, everyone can choose the right yardage to suit their game. Whether you’re a seasoned pro looking for a challenge or a beginner just starting out, there’s an ideal tee for everyone.
Commitment to Continual Improvement
Over its impressive 35-year history, Prestwick has shown a strong commitment to regular upkeep and renovations. This ensures that both the greens and facilities remain top-notch. Enhancements in the clubhouse and restaurant have also made it an inviting place for members and visitors alike to relax after a round of golf.
A Heart for the Community
Prestwick Country Club doesn’t just focus on providing an outstanding golfing experience; it also actively contributes to the community. The club has spearheaded numerous fundraising initiatives benefiting local schools, sports teams, and charities. For decades now, Prestwick has welcomed Socastee High School Golf Teams to play for free, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to supporting local talent. More recently, the club has embraced the Horry County Special Olympics golf team, further solidifying its role as a cornerstone of community engagement.
Looking Ahead
After being honored with the Myrtle Beach Area Golf Course Owners Association’s Golf Course of the Year title in the summer of 2025, Prestwick is now in the running for an even bigger honor. The club has submitted its application for the prestigious National Golf Course Owners Association award, with outcomes set to be revealed in January in Orlando, Florida.
An All-Around Favorite
For both local residents, affectionately known as Grand Stranders, and visitors alike, Prestwick Country Club continues to be a popular choice. Known not just for its challenging play but also for its overall value, this golf course proves a delightful experience for all who visit.
