Pawleys Plantation is a Conference Center with a highly rated golf school!
While a golf course is not unusual for a Conference Center, not many meeting facilities also boast a world class golf school. Golf Magazine’s "Top 25 Best Golf Schools" in America includes the Phil Ritson-Mel Sole Golf School, headquartered at Pawleys Plantation, a Conference Center on Pawleys Island, South Carolina, (just south of Myrtle Beach). The Ritson-Sole school is ranked number 5 on the Top 25 list. It is one of only 10 academies to remain on prestigious "Top 25 Golf Schools" list since the ranking debuted in 1999.
Pawleys Plantation, a 582-acre Conference Center & Resort, features a 6,5000-square-foot conference center, an elegant 4,500-square-foot ballroom, an award winning Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course and the Riston-Sole Golf School, which is available in meeting packages in conjunction with Conference Center utilization.

Pawleys Planation features 6,500 square feet of meeting space.
"Having a Top 5 golf school right inside Pawleys Plantation has enabled us to offer additional value to meeting planners and attendees," said Jann Walker, director of marketing at Pawleys Plantation. "Planners have discovered that staging a golf clinic by an instructor from one of the Top 5 golf schools is a great way to impress their meeting attendees. It’s educational yet relaxing, and gives meeting attendees a real energy boost after hours of sitting in sessions."

"It’s an honor to have Golf Magazine put us on the top 25 list for the last several years," says Mel Sole. "It’s not only a compliment to the exacting standards we set for our instructors and curriculum, but a recognition that nationally-ranked golf instruction doesn’t have to cost a fortune. It’s our goal to help current golfers enjoy golf more, and also to bring more people into the game using our approach to pricing."
