The course is a little expensive for the quality of the course. The tee boxes are ok but the fairways are getting somewhat thin and beat up. The greens are in good shape but you have to read the grain carefully. Seemed a little slow with some fall off near the cup. Food is a little expensive. You have to... More

Played 18 Holes on this local yet very challenging golf course. If you're not use to this style of course you'll spend a lot of time frustrated and are sure to increase the water level throughout your round. I'll return to take this challenge again. 2 Dozen golf balls recomended.

We played in early Oct. Course was in good shape. Close by Pawleys and Litchfield. Food at the grill was nothing to write home about but otherwise would recommend.

This course was redone about 3-4 years ago but unfortunately it is trying to be something it is not. The club house and facilities are top notch, however, the course isn't. It cannot compare to nearby True Blue and Caledonia although it tries to charge a premium price.

A bit of a strange, meandering layout. Includes some memorable holes. $49 on a Saturday morning.

Founders Club was reborn about three years ago. It was completely reworked and now has many elevated greens, deep bunkers, and water on both sides in many places. The greens are in good shape but somewhat dificult to hold because of their elevation. The fairways and tee boxes are in good shape. The down side is the course design has... More

We have played other courses in the area and none have GPS in the cart. It provides hints on playing each hole and then knowing the actual distance to the tee is always a plus. The usual grass rough has been replaced with sand so you are playing on islands of fairways and greens. I can almost always find my... More

We ended up playing 3 of our 6 rounds here because the course was so nice and the staff bent over backwards to accomodate us. The course was in great shape with nice holes and nice to look at.

Played this course when it was name Sea Gull. It was a goat track. The course has been totally revamped and renamed to Founders Club. It is really different than it used to be. Course was in excellent shape. Everyone was friendly and had a great time. Would definitely play it again.
