The Wachesaw Plantation Club rests on a cliff that looks down on the historic Intracoastal Waterway. These deep river waters were used by settlers to establish the early townships in South Carolina. These deep river waters allowed for settlers to trade goods and services. During the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, these waters were used to transport equipment and supplies to soldiers and forts. Today, residents of Wachesaw Plantation and other surrounding communities use these waters for fishing, boating, and relaxation.
The coastal area of South Carolina was originally settled by Native Americans who choose this area because of the ability to easily grow rice and indigo which were farmed and transported to trade posts up and down stream. These trade posts were located along the deep waters and tidal locations that allowed tribes to easily bring their goods to trade with other tribes. During the 1930s, old burial mounds were discover along with pottery shards, tools, and jewelry that revealed some insight into what life was like for early settlers.
Wachesaw has spared no expense in discovering it’s rich heritage. In fact, during 1990s Wachesaw became the most studied architectural site in all of South Carolina.
The award winning designer course by Tom Fazio is 18-hole championship golf course. With lush fairways that venture along side beautiful homes and villas, this course is not only a challenge to play but a joy to admire. The signature 18th hole was named the Wachesaw look. because of its bluff perched over the Waccamaw River.
