This is one of the newer offerings in town, and has already become a real favorite. It is another links-styled course that plays through, and around water and marshes. It features extensive mounding, wide landing areas, five sets of tees, creative bunkering (some run into the lakes) and large greens with some interesting breaks. It was voted among Golf for Women Magazine’s "Top 100 Fairways in America." They are working out of a temporary clubhouse while they are finishing the construction of their clubhouse.

Amenities/Facilities:  In the process of building a club house.

Location:  Drive north on Highway 17 towards Wilmington. As you drive through Little River, turn right on State Road 179 towards Calabash. Drive approximately 3 miles, straight through Calabash Village to the light (where SR 179 turns right). Go straight through the light and the road becomes Old Georgetown Road. The course is about one mile on the left, about 300 yards past The Pearl Golf Links. (NORTH  MAP
