This facility has three nines, the Bear, Fox and Otter, that are played in three eighteen hole combinations, with the Bear being the easiest of the three. All three are similar with narrow tree-lined fairways, mounded fairways, large lakes and small, bunkered greens. In 1990, Golf Course Rankings of America � whoever the heck they are - rated as one of the Top Five courses on the Grand Strand? Sadly, the good news is all old news with respect to this facility. They recently completed converting their greens to Champions Ultra-Dwarf Bermuda, with the Palin Effect of putting lipstick on a pig.
