Golf is a very old game of which the exact origins are unclear. Golf is played in an area of land designated a golf course. Golf courses do not look clean and green on accident. A lot of care goes into keeping these tracks of land looking the way they do. They use several techniques as an investment.

The turf on golf courses is an excellent filter for water and has been used in communities to cleanse gray water. While most modern 18-hole golf courses occupy around 150 acres of land, the average course has 75 acres of maintained turf. People continue to oppose golf courses for environmental and human survival reasons, as they impede corridors for migrating animals and sanctuaries for birds and other wildlife.

The Founders Club at Pawleys Island which reopened its doors on Feb. 1, 2008. The first or two redesigns to open this early Spring Golf Season. The old Sea Gull Golf Club which opened is doors back in the late 1960`s by local families was given a face lift which included nearly $7 million in renovations and beautiful 5,000 square foot Clubhouse with wrap around porch which overlooks the 10Th and 18Th hole.
Architect Thomas Walker, once with the Gary Player Design Group, led the $7 million dollar construction project. The front nine is virtually unrecognizable from the old Sea Gull golf course. The changes include Hole #1 being shortened by about 50 yards, and a huge practice putting green has been installed directly behind the tee boxes. You actually step from the putting green to the tee box. The #3 hole now has split sets of tee boxes. #4 has been converted to a par 4, and a lake has been built behind the tee boxes. The #6 hole has been converted to a wonderful risk/reward par 5. Hole #12 now has a split fairway and the green has been moved down closer to the lake. Walker has created a course that is esthetically pleasing to the eye, but near as difficult as it appears.

There are 5 sets of tees on each hole and measures 7007 yards from all the way back. All golf carts have the newest GPS technology with accurate yardages and graphics. With Bermuda fairways and a mixture of Bermuda and Zoysia in the rough, The Founders Club and the TPC of Scottsdale, home of the 2008 Accenture World Match Play Championship, as the only two golf courses in America with Emerald Bermuda greens.

The course which opened in 1988 is changing from a par-72 to a par-71. The back tees which measure 6,486-yard will also have three other tee boxes that will make this new layout measure approximately 6,200, 5,800 and 5,100 yards.
