Willbrook Plantation Golf Club is a public-access course on South Carolina's Hammock Coast, part of the Hammock Coast Golf Trail. Designed by Dan Maples and opened in 1988, the 18-hole, par-72 layout stretches 6,722 yards across the combined grounds of the historic Willbrook and Litchfield rice plantations, both dating to 1798. Maples has cited Willbrook as one of his finest designs, and the course preserves six on-site historical markers documenting the antebellum plantation heritage. Water is a consistent factor, coming into play on 15 of 18 holes. The course has been named to Golf Digest's Top 50 Courses for Women. Priced in the mid-range ($$) for the Myrtle Beach–area market.
Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club's peak-season green fee is around $245 per round; off-peak rates drop to about $65. Cart, range balls, and caddie fees are typically separate. Estimate the full NC Sandhills Trail trip cost
