Brunswick Plantation & Golf Resort

Brunswick Plantation & Golf Resort operates multiple eighteen-hole courses in Calabash, North Carolina, a coastal town near the South Carolina border known for its concentration of golf facilities. The Dogwood and Azalea nines form one of several possible combinations at the property, designed by Willard Byrd and Clyde Johnston. Byrd, a North Carolina-based architect active from the 1960s through the 1990s, designed numerous courses across the Carolinas and collaborated with Johnston on several projects in the region. The resort layout reflects the design philosophy common to coastal Carolina golf of its era, emphasizing playability for resort guests while incorporating the area's natural pine and hardwood vegetation. The Calabash area sits on relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Carolina coastal plain, with courses typically routed through corridors of mature trees and around wetland areas. The Dogwood and Azalea nines feature tree-lined fairways, water hazards on several holes, and greens that provide moderate undulation. The combination offers a straightforward resort experience suitable for a range of skill levels, with strategic bunkering and hazard placement that rewards accurate play without excessive penal design. Brunswick Plantation functions as a public-access facility serving both visitors to the Grand Strand golf market and local players. The resort setting includes lodging and dining amenities typical of destination golf properties in the Myrtle Beach area, which extends into the Calabash region and supports year-round play in a mild coastal climate.
