This, the very first golf course built in Myrtle Beach, is known as “The Granddaddy,” and the idea for Sports Illustrated was hatched in the stately colonial-style clubhouse in 1950. This facility, lovingly owned and operated by the Miles family from 1927 until 2001, when they sold it to the areas’ largest developer, Burroughs & Chapin Company. B&C went chainsaw happy, and did a terrible job here, until a new, and definitely more enlightened and visionary management took over, They closed “The Granddaddy” three years ago and spent an estimated $15 million dollars on a total and masterful restoration that melded the best of their unrivaled traditions and customer service with a rerouting and more impressive and player friendly layout. They also added the Myrtle Beach Golf Hall of Fame behind the magnificently restored clubhouse. Mainly because of the history and tradition of the “Granddaddy” every golfer should make a point to play it at least once when teeing it up in Myrtle Beach.
