Pine Lakes Country Club is a premier wedding and event venue in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, offering a rare blend of historic charm, refined elegance, and full-service hospitality. Established in 1927, Pine Lakes proudly holds the distinction of being the first golf course in Myrtle Beach, earning its long-standing nickname, “The Granddaddy.” For nearly a century, it has remained a beloved community landmark and a sought-after destination for couples from across the country.
Designed by acclaimed architect Robert White, Pine Lakes was built atop natural coastal dunes less than half a mile from the Atlantic Ocean. The property features mature pines, serene freshwater lakes, and a classic golf course layout that creates a picturesque backdrop for weddings and special events. A thoughtful renovation restored the clubhouse and grounds to reflect the timeless sophistication of the 1920s while seamlessly incorporating modern amenities expected of a luxury venue.
Pine Lakes Country Club offers a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing couples to host their entire celebration in one cohesive and elegant location. The historic clubhouse features two adjoining ballrooms—the Magnolia Ballroom and Azalea Ballroom—each showcasing original hardwood floors, crystal chandeliers, fireplaces, decorative molding, and architectural details rarely found in modern venues.
Both ballrooms open onto an expansive covered veranda overlooking the Grand Lawn, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for cocktail hours and sunset receptions. Wedding ceremonies are often held on the Grand Lawn, Pine Lakes’ signature outdoor setting, offering sweeping views of the lakes and historic landscape. The venue can comfortably accommodate up to 300 guests, making it well-suited for both intimate weddings and grand celebrations.
As a full-service wedding venue, Pine Lakes Country Club provides everything needed for a seamless and stress-free planning experience. The venue can host rehearsal dinners, wedding ceremonies, receptions, engagement parties, and additional wedding-related events. Wedding rentals include exclusive access to the Magnolia and Azalea Ballrooms and the Snug Pub Bar, a charming space ideal for cocktail hours or late-night gatherings.
Included amenities feature wedding cake cutting and plating, gold Chiavari chairs with ivory or black-and-gold cushions, tables, china, glassware, flatware, linens, napkins, and a complimentary menu tasting for four. Ceremony services include full chair setup and breakdown, along with a one-hour rehearsal scheduled during the week of the wedding. An experienced on-site wedding coordinator works closely with each couple and vendor team to ensure every detail is thoughtfully executed.
