Hi  I played 2 rounds at Founders Club last July. A practice round prior to the Myrtle Beach Father Son Tournament and 1 round during the Tournament

I enjoyed the course, the conditioning was excellent; the course flow was excellent and you will be presented with many challenges. You won't be disappointed playing the Founders club.

The course has the latest grass technology for the greens - they were fantastic.

I also scored my 1st hole in one there and won a $1000 - one of those charity deals - pay $10

It has been a few years since I played Pawleys Island so my memory may be hazy, but I give the edge to Founders Club.

Here is a link to the review my son wrote:

I've played both and would give the nod to Founders, although some of my MB trip group prefer Pawleys Plantation. The front nine at PP is nothing special, but the back 9 has some cool holes along the marshland. The greens at PP were very heard and fast. Hard to hold and found myself rolling off many greens into bunkers. FC doesn't have the ambiance to match the back 9 at Pawwleys, but it does have a nice consistenet style throughout, lots of big waste bunkers, and a couple holes with large elevation chnages , at least by Myrtle Beach standards.

If I was going to play 36 with Cally as my first 18, I'd choose True Blue. Cally and TB are my favorite 36 hole combo in MB and since the two courses are affiliated you can probably get a discount to play both.  Founders is sort of "TB lite", If you haven't played TB you should.

If you didn't care for True Blue, I'd say skip Founders.  Pawleys is a good choice. If you like Caledonia and want to play another course of a similar style,you can consider Heritage or Willbrook

if you didn't care for True Blue you should go with PP not Founders. in my opinion it is a no brainer if that is how you feel.

    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
