Caledonia Centuries in the Making... Since opening in January 1994, Caledonia Golf & Fish Club has rapidlygained a reputation as one of the premier courses in America. The original plantation was named by itsfounder, Dr. Robert Nesbit, a Scottish immigrant who named it Caledonia, the ancient Roman name for Scotland. Historic land records from Georgetown County indicate that Caledonia was, at one time, one of the largest plantations in South Carolina with land stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the rice fields on the western edge of the Waccamaw River. Perhaps the most striking aesthetic feature of the plantation is the impressive avenue of live oaks leading to the clubhouse steps. These century-old trees, laden with Spanish moss, mark the site of the old King's Highway as it made its way along the coast in the 1700's. Dr. Nesbit and his descendants continued to own and operate Caledonia until 1940. The current owners purchased the property in 1971 to use primarily as a hunting and fishing club. Each member had his own small lodge on the property, and he would often come to fish in the river and hunt ducks in the rice fields. As sportsmen, the owners wanted to build a course preserving as much of the land's natural beauty as possible. As southerners, they wanted to create an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality that each golfer could take home with him. The goal of Caledonia is that each visitor remembers his or her day not just as a round of golf, but as an overall southern experience.
