Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time of year to experience Caledonia's unique Lowcountry charm without the crowds?

We always recommend visiting Caledonia in the shoulder seasons-late fall (October-November) or early spring (March-April). You'll find the weather absolutely perfect for golf, the live oaks are stunning, and you'll avoid the peak summer heat and the busiest spring break crowds. It makes for a much more relaxed and enjoyable round.

What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Caledonia, and what's your best advice for tackling it?

The biggest challenge at Caledonia is undoubtedly navigating the strategic bunkering and the water hazards, especially on the back nine. We always tell golfers to trust their yardage and commit to their club selection, particularly on the par-3 11th and the intimidating finishing hole. Don't get greedy-a par is a great score here.

Considering the green fees, does Caledonia truly deliver a premium golf experience worth the investment?

Absolutely, Caledonia is a splurge that consistently delivers. From the moment you drive through the avenue of oaks, you feel the special atmosphere, and the course conditioning is always top-notch. We think the overall experience-the beauty, the challenge, and the service-makes it well worth the higher price point compared to many other Myrtle Beach courses.

What's the post-round experience like at Caledonia, and what should we definitely check out?

The clubhouse at Caledonia is just as charming as the course itself, with a fantastic Lowcountry vibe. You absolutely must grab a drink and a bite on the porch overlooking the 18th green-it's one of the best spots in golf to watch groups finish. The pro shop also has some unique merchandise, so save a little time for browsing.

How does Caledonia compare to its sister course, True Blue, and should we play both on the same trip?

While both are Mike Strantz designs, Caledonia offers a more refined, classic Lowcountry experience with its oak-lined fairways, whereas True Blue is bolder and more expansive with its waste areas. We highly recommend playing both if your schedule allows; they offer a fantastic contrast and showcase Strantz's genius perfectly. You'll get two distinct, memorable rounds.
