Since opening in 1989, Prestwick Country Club has been a favorite among visiting golfers and locals alike, prized for its dramatic layout with bold earth-moving, sculpted dunes, pot bunkers, distinctive railway accents and strategic water hazards.
The SCGCOA judges the nominees for Golf Course of the Year based on four criteria:
– Exceptional quality of the golf course
– Excellence in ownership and management
– Outstanding contribution to the community
– Significant contribution to the game of golf
The National Golf Course Owners Association implemented the award in 1996, and the MBAGCOA has nominated Myrtle Beach area golf courses ever since. Prestwick follows another course at The Golf Capital of the World®, Pawleys Plantation, which was named the 2024 MBAGCOA Course of the Year.
