From the fine folks who brought you the Hootenanny and SC is Hot, Hot, Hot!, we are pleased to present the 2022 Low Country Boil at Caledonia Golf and Fish Club and True Blue Golf Club, both Mike Stranz designs.
You may remember these courses from the Tourist Sauce Carolina’s episode on both courses, where DJ called True Blue a chess match, and Randy professed his love for Caledonia (top 10 domestic experience). Having had the opportunity to play both courses a number of times over the years, I can say with confidence they are both good takes.
True Blue is a big ballpark with pretty wide fairways and dramatic features. Caledonia is more intimate (yet doesn’t feel small). The drive up to the Clubhouse is one of the best I’ve ever experienced.
We have room for 80 players, playing 36 on Friday, 18 on Saturday, and 18 on Sunday. There will be options for people to replay these courses, or venture out to one of the other courses in the area (I recommend Heritage, Willbrook, or Pawleys).
The cost per person will be approximately $555 (which covers golf and lodging). $399 for golf only. I will be asking for some donations to a TBD charity as we get closer.

Logistics:
-
Flying In
- Pawleys Island is about 2 hours from the Charleston, SC and WIlmington, NC airports.
-
Raleigh is about 3.5 hours from Pawleys Island
-
Myrtle Beach airport is about 45 minutes from Pawleys Island and has increased their offerings.
- For anyone flying in, there may be people willing to pick you up from the airport, I would suggest getting a car or at least work out something with someone who is driving in.
-
Getting to the Courses
- The courses are literally across the street from each other, and the condos are in the True Blue complex. You will most likely want a car to get back and forth to the courses, though the drive will be short
-
Additional Rounds
- We can book replays or other courses on Saturday, I will also likely be putting something together for Thursday somewhere on the Strand.
-
Weather
- It’s going to be hot. Bring sunscreen, drink plenty of water, and consider changing clothes in between rounds
