Pawleys Plantation

Local Opinion

Pawleys Plantation is a gated golf community located just minutes from the beach on Pawleys Island, combining luxury living with the natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere of the Lowcountry. This picturesque community is known for its spacious homes, pristine landscaping, and its challenging Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, which is considered one of the premier courses in the area. With its moss-draped oak trees, scenic marsh views, and meticulously maintained grounds, Pawleys Plantation is a favorite among golf enthusiasts, retirees, and anyone looking for a blend of upscale amenities and Southern charm. Life here is peaceful and convenient, with easy access to both the beaches and the shops and dining options on the mainland.

The community is home to a variety of housing options, from townhomes and condos to custom-built single-family homes, catering to a range of tastes and budgets. Residents can choose between marsh-front properties, homes along the fairways, or peaceful wooded lots. Pawleys Plantation is a friendly, social community where neighbors regularly connect through golf outings, club events, and other recreational activities. However, as an established and gated community, HOA fees are part of the upkeep for amenities and landscaping, and the quiet, exclusive atmosphere may not appeal to those looking for a livelier scene or more extensive shopping and dining options within the gates. Additionally, homes here can be more expensive than in other parts of Pawleys Island due to the upscale appeal and desirable location.
