Wachesaw Plantation Club
Murrells Inlet, SC — The Princeville Prince Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., was once hailed as Golf Digest's best new resort course in 1990 and consistently ranked among Hawaii's finest. Jones Jr.'s design philosophy here embraced the dramatic, untamed landscape of Kauai's North Shore, characterized by deep ravines, lush valleys, and winding rivers. The course was known for its challenging and often intimidating layout, demanding precision and strategic shot-making from golfers. Signature holes included the par-five second, a formidable 597-yard test requiring a powerful drive over a chasm, and the visually stunning sixth hole, often described as an 'infinity' green with breathtaking views. The course's historical significance is tied to its namesake, Prince Albert Kamehameha, adding a regal touch to its legacy. While currently closed, the Prince Course offered a wild, bucket-list golfing experience, celebrated for its integration with the rugged Hawaiian terrain and its unique collection of holes that challenged even the most seasoned players.
