Course Review
The Good: This Tom Fazio collaboration with Lanny Wadkins & disciple Beau Welling is an excellent option in the greater Myrtle Beach area, about 20 minutes south of the main “Grand Strand”. Has a “Poor Man’s Pinehurst” feel to it with beautiful tree-lined fairways amidst pine straw hazards and well-placed white-sanded bunkers. Very strong Par 5’s and some good variety in the Par 4’s with some very challenging and others drivable. The Par 3’s are the standout signature holes. Greens hold well and were in very good shape. Very nice clubhouse and now Dustin Johnson branded golf school (he’s from the area). Staff was extremely nice and kept us hydrated on a hot spring afternoon. Superb pace of play for a Sunday round. Great value at only $69 in Early June.
The Bad: Fairway and tee box conditions were very dried out and to be desired. Many of the tee boxes didn’t really have grass. No GPS on the carts was a bummer, however the course is marked well.
The Verdict: A Top 5 public course in the Myrtle Beach area. One of the better values you will find on the Strand!
Best Hole: While the closing holes get all the credit, I actually loved the second hole, a tough Par 5 that requires precise tee and approach shots to avoid sand to a raised green guarded by water left.
