Caledonia Golf & Fish Club in Pawleys Island has once again been recognized among America’s premier layouts, earning a place on Golfweek’s prestigious list of the Top 100 Public-Access Courses in the United States.

Designed by the late Mike Strantz and opened in 1994, Caledonia is one of the game’s most celebrated modern designs. Framed by centuries-old live oak trees draped in Spanish moss, the Lowcountry layout blends strategic shot-making with unforgettable scenery, culminating with one of South Carolina’s most recognizable finishing holes, a par 4 along the Waccamaw River.

Golfweek’s Best rankings are determined by a nationwide panel of course evaluators who assess layouts on factors including routing, conditioning, memorability, variety, strategy, and overall design quality.

“To be recognized among the nation’s top 100 public golf courses is an honor that reflects the timeless vision Mike Strantz had for Caledonia,” said Bart Romano, PGA, Director of Operations at Caledonia Golf & Fish Club. “Our team is committed to preserving that vision while delivering the type of experience that keeps golfers coming back year after year.”

The latest accolade adds to an already distinguished résumé for Caledonia, which is the Hammock Coast area’s highest ranked course. The layout has long been recognized among America’s finest public designs and continues to receive acclaim from golfers and national publications alike for its architecture, conditioning, and unforgettable setting.
