Tucked away in the historic port town of Georgetown, SC, about 45 minutes south of Myrtle Beach, Wedgefield Country Club offers a tranquil and scenic golf experience steeped in Lowcountry tradition. Set along the banks of the Black River, this semi-private course features towering oaks, Southern charm, and a layout that rewards shot-making over power.

The Golfer’s Review

Wedgefield is one of those rare courses that makes you slow down and soak in the surroundings. The layout isn’t overly long or tricked up, but it demands thoughtful positioning and solid approach play. It’s one of the few Myrtle-area courses where you feel completely immersed in nature—and at peace while playing. The back nine, in particular, delivers some unforgettable views and a real sense of Southern solitude.
