Unique Club/Facility Details

For more than two centuries, the site of Wachesaw Plantation Club and it’s community was very productive land. Situated on a high bluff overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway.  Wachesaw Plantation Club, which was founded in 1985 as the premier private country club on South Carolina’s Hammock Coast, was part of the visionary planning of Wachesaw Plantation’s developer, Olan Mills, and his team.  It was 1986 when the Tom Fazio designed golf course opened to Members, with the Clubhouse opening shortly thereafter.  The original Kimbels restaurant, an old hunting cabin that was purchased and moved by a dentist down river, was replaced with what is now known as Kimbels in 1993.  Kimbels is perched on the Bluff overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway and the 18th green of the golf course.  Today you will find historical markers within Wachesaw Plantation to honor the rich history of the land, as well as a monument on the Bluff honoring Olan and Butch Mills.

As we embark on celebrating 40 years, we also begin a mulit million dollar facility improvement plan that includes a new pool, a new Magnolias, additonal parking, and enhancements to our main dining facility, Kimbels.  Wachesaw Plantation boasts a vibrant membership, with an active sports and social calendar of events.  With is premier location to the coasts, the Club features the very best in southern charm and hospitality.
