The Founders Club is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Waccamaw River. The course offers a beautiful low country backdrop under centuries old live oak trees, native grasses and natural ponds. The waste areas reflect the south strands terrain with a bright shade of orange sand.

Architect Thomas Walker, once with the Gary Player Design Group, led the $7 million dollar construction project. While the corridors remain the same, the new golf course bears few similarities to the old Sea Gull Golf Club.

The front nine is virtually unrecognizable from the old Sea Gull golf course. The changes include Hole #1 being shortened by about 50 yards, and a huge practice putting green has been installed directly behind the tee boxes. You actually step from the putting green to the tee box. The #3 hole now has split sets of tee boxes. #4 has been converted to a par 4, and a lake has been built behind the tee boxes. The #6 hole has been converted to a wonderful risk/reward par 5. Hole #12 now has a split fairway and the green has been moved down closer to the lake. Walker has created a course that is esthetically pleasing to the eye, but near as difficult as it appears. The bunkers and mounding blends perfectly with the natural surroundings and cart paths are kept to a minimum. There are 5 sets of tees on each hole: Professional, Championship, Mens regular/Lady professional, Senior/Lady championship, and Ladys regular/Junior. The Founders Club measures 7007 yards from the back. All golf carts will be equipped with the newest GPS technology with accurate yardages and graphics. The pro shop will utilize the same GPS software to keep track of all carts on the course to expedite pace of play.

Featuring Bermuda fairways and a mixture of Bermuda and Zoysia in the rough, The Founders Club joins the TPC in Scottsdale as the only two golf courses in the United States with Emerald Bermuda greens. A new strand of grass just released from the Champion Turf Company, Emerald Bermuda tolerates the hot South Carolina summer sun and requires less water than other grasses.

The Founders Club will also unveil a brand new 5,000 square foot Clubhouse with wrap around porch which overlooks the 10th and 18th hole. Designed by Palmetto Architecture of Myrtle Beach, the clubhouse will feature an upscale grille area with a fireplace, large television sets and bar area. Classically decorated locker rooms offers card tables, televisions and showers in an elegant, but relaxed atmosphere.

Veteran Club Professional Wayne Welden is the General Manager. Book your tee time now to experience the newest course in the Grand Strand in a long, long time.
