Caledonia Golf and Fish Club sits on an old rice plantation just south of Myrtle Beach and if you're a Mike Strantz fan you'll spot his style straight away. It's the same creative mind behind True Blue and, in my opinion, Caledonia is the more elegant of the two, all atmosphere off the first tee and plenty of decisions into the greens.
The arrival is half the fun. You drive under a tunnel of live oaks draped in Spanish moss and it genuinely feels like you've stepped back in time. Out on the course the holes wind through the plantation landscape with wetlands, native grasses and those towering oaks framing your lines. When the azaleas and camellias are out it's a cracker of a setting.
Right, the golf. The greens are big but they're not pushovers. Many are seriously deep with tiers, slopes and the odd false front that will feed a slightly under-hit approach back into trouble. It's the sort of place where you can hit a decent iron and still have work to do with the putter. Missing in the right spot matters just as much as finding the fairway.
Handicap-wise, mid to low players will love the strategic questions, but higher handicappers can still enjoy it if you keep the ball in play and accept the odd bogey. The course is walkable, typically presented in very strong condition and feels a step removed from the more conventional resort-style courses up and down the Grand Strand. If you're building a Myrtle Beach itinerary and want one round that feels a world away from standard resort golf, Caledonia is a must. It's an easy add-on with True Blue if you're doing a Pawleys Island double-header.
Who is this for?
A Myrtle Beach golf trip where you want one standout round with proper Lowcountry atmosphere and a design that keeps you thinking.
Who is it best for?
Golfers who enjoy strategic approaches and tricky greens, especially if you're pairing it with True Blue for a Strantz one-two.

Recently included in Golf World's ‘Top 100 Courses You Can Play', Caledonia combines breathtaking natural beauty with phenomenal design to produce a fabulous golf holiday option. From the moment you drive up the entrance avenue, which is lined by 100-year-old oaks, it is clear that Caledonia is a special experience and certainly one of the best in Myrtle Beach.
The course is similarly impressive, and comes highly recommended to anyone visiting South Carolina's most popular golf destination.

Course was not in the condition we had 2 years ago, lots of over seeding on the tees and fairways however the greens were top notch. Can’t wait to come back as this is a great golf course.

Stunning Stunning Stunning, is all ou need to know, if in the area play it! Never been dissapointed when playing it (except for my personnal standard of play) always in great condition and a pleasure. Thank you. We ended our trip here, after 15+ years of travelling over to the Myrtle Beach area, to play your last iron shot over the water to the green, while players who have finished and are having a couple of well earned drinks in the rocking chairs on the veranda, cheer or boo your shot into the green or water is just the final bit of fun on this great golf course. Play it you will not be dissapointed.
