DeBordieu Golf Hole #18
"The finishing hole at DeBordieu is a spectacular mix of beauty and strategy, beginning with a tight, straight drive off the tee. There is water all along the right side of the hole, while mounds and natural areas border the left from tee to green. Your second shot may require the crossing of a certain amount of water, depending upon where your drive lands. Your approach shot will cross a lake directly in front of the green. Few of us, if any, will attempt to reach the green in two. The green is wedged between the lake in front and a cluster of mounds in the rear. This hole, offering golfers a grand view of the marsh behind the green, is a fitting finish to a world class golf course."

Not-So-Sweet Sixteen!
Can you pass the test of DeBordieu’s #16, just south of Pawleys Island, SC? The good news: NO WATER! The bad news: it’s still pretty brutal!
“Sixteen is a heroic par three that is a dry hole, but difficult nonetheless. Your tee shot must be straight, for two tall pines growing 20 yards out from the green – 60 yards apart – will punish both hook and slice. The green slopes toward the tees, so aim for the large oak in the distance, behind the green, and hope that there is no cross wind blowing as your swing. This is a truly great, if testing, golf hole.”

Remember the Bagpipes on Hole #9?
The private DeBordieu Club Golf Course opened for play in 1987. I remember, like it was yesterday, seeing and hearing that bagpiper walk very slowly down hole number nine toward the crowd of eager DeBordieu Club members waiting to tee off. It was a great moment! You won’t hear the bagpipes today, but here’s what you can expect from hole #9:
“The Dyes require that you finish the first half of the course with a blind drive on this tricky par five. Knock your ball up onto the hill rising 13 feet from the lake level. Stay toward the right, away from a long finger of lake that runs along the left. Where it ends, a thick natural area begins. Keep your approach shot straight, for the left is guarded by mounds and pot bunkers, with bunkers on the right and behind the green.”

There is a great lot for sale on number nine. For details, click on the picture, email TroiKaz@DeBordieu.com, or call me at 843-455-4523.

DeBordieu Fabulous Feature #4 – Private Golf!
DeBordieu Club features a fabulous, private, championship 18-Hole golf course designed by Pete and P.B. Dye. Noted as one of Pete and P.B. Dyes favorite designs, the links style course at DeBordieu, just south of Pawleys Island, has been consistently ranked among the top 10 private clubs in South Carolina.

I consider myself to be very fortunate to have been on staff as DeBordieu’s Marketing Manager when the course opened in 1987. (I still remember the Scottish dude with the bagpipes sauntering down number 9 toward the Clubhouse.....what a picture!!!!)

The course features an outstanding mix of Pete Dye's design qualities to make it challenging, but not too many to make it exceedingly difficult (and no fun) to play. In fact, upon the opening of the golf course, one very witty golf writer referred to it as “Pete Dye without the whips and chains.”
Set in the beauty of the South Carolina Low Country and surrounded by an abundance of natural wildlife, DeBordieu Club offers one of the only private golf courses in the Pawleys Island area.

The highly regarded links course plays to more than 7,000 yards from the championship tees, and offers a set of tees to provide enjoyable golf for players of all abilities. The greens are planted in bent grass, the fairways are Bermuda, and the rough is Paspalum, all providing for an interesting round of golf!
Since its opening, DeBordieu Club has been host to many regional championships including the Carolinas Mid-Amateur, the South Carolina Women's Amateur and the Carolinas Senior Amateur. This December, DeBordieu Club will host the Inaugural DeBordieu Club Celebrity Pro-Am to benefit the South Carolina Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation!

Currently, there are a number of homes, villas and homesites available on the DeBordieu Golf Course. Click on each of the pictures to be linked to the corresponding property. For more information about Club Membership at DeBordieu, give me a call.
