Pawleys Plantation Renovations Update – June 2023

Charlie Rymer visited Jack Nicklaus’ South Strand signature design recently to catch up with Joe Dipre, regional operations manager for Founders Group International (FGI), the parent company of Pawleys Plantation and 20 additional Myrtle Beach-area golf courses. In this video, Charlie and Joe discuss FGI’s broader vision in the infrastructure reinvestment they’ve made across their course portfolio, and how their current work at Pawleys Plantation reflects it.

Charlie then rolled up his sleeves with FGI’s renovations team leader, Chaz Henderson, with Pawleys Plantation’s famed 13th hole as the setting for illustrating the type of work they’re doing throughout the property. They discussed the greens expansion effort at that hole and property-wide, along with how the bunker replacement process works with the popular “capillary concrete” technology at its core.
