Caledonia and True Blue for golf

Founders Club in Pawleys (formerly Seagull) is a good bet for golf and will be cheaper than Caledonia / True Blue, both of which are great courses, but they are not cheap. Look in the Sports section of the MB Sun newspaper for other area golf deals - they usually have cheap rates offered for afternoon play on local courses.

Frank's and Chive Blossom two of the better restaurants in Pawley's / Litchfield. Probably need reservations for both. Murrell's Inlet has an abundance of bars / restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. Hot Fish Club and Dockside are two good ones. Lee's Inlet Kitchen is a old classic if you just want some fried seafood without any frills. Plenty of other solid Choices: Flo's / Devine Fish House / Bovine's etc... Depends on what you want to eat.

Live in PI and work on Litchfield.

eating - $$$$ = Frank's & Frank's Outback; I am a fan of Quigley's Pint & Plate behind the Piggly Wiggly shopping center in Mingo (off Willbrook Dr). Good variety of food (which is good) and Josh brews his own beer (which is good too). Very affordable and laid back atmosphere.

Golf - Budget golf = Tradition; Caledonia is the prettiest course with great views but True Blue is the best true course from a layout. Founders Club would fall in between those two.

The pit for late night. Pawleys plantation for golf (expensive but I lived there for years so biased). Heritage and true blue also good.

Bistro 247 (I think) and the Island Deli and Cafe. Two other solid suggestions.

I'm in the area myself for a wedding! Went to The Island Bar & Grill last night, decent food, drinks and music. Loved the cat that basically owns the place. Ladies had their rehearsal dinner at Chive today, they said it was really good. Staying in Pawley's Plantation...beautiful neighborhood and the course looks great too. Went for a run on the beach this AM and man is it gorgeous!

I am pretty sure your talking about Anthony who owns it. He is a good guy and does well for a bar in the Pawleys Area. For cocktails and a great atmosphere go to the PIT. (pawleys island tavern)
Dinner-Franks outback Chive Blossom Bistro 217 and Nosh are all good, with the preference being Franks and Chive.
Golf-like everyone else has said it depends on what kind of coin your trying to spend. Caledonia and True Blue are the best tracks but youll pay for those. Played Heritage the other day and its in good shape and much cheaper. They also have a twilight deal which is awesome. Pawleys Plantation is a fun course too but its a little on the expensive side...Tradition is a good one also that isnt too expensive.

Hope this helps

Franks is probably my favorite restaurant in South Carolina. rack of lamb is the bomb...not sure I've ever had a better meal than the rack of lamb there, be it in New York, Chicago, Boston, Charleston...srs

Willbrook is a decent/reasonable course and Louis's at Sanfords is another good dining option

By the way is this Tony's secret handle?

Pretty sure your talking about Hot Fish. Great place and awesome atmosphere.

I'll second Quigleys, Bistro 217, and Pawleys Island Tavern (PIT). Ate at all three this past week. I must say that the Chive Blossom at the North Causeway of Pawleys Island gave me the best meal that I have had in a long time. The Crab slaw was unreal. The grouper ?stew was also as good as I have had. Pawleys Plantation was a fun course to play. Greens were in very good shape. We had 3-4inches of rain early in the week so the course was a bit boggy on Thursday. Great week. Happy Father's Day guys.
