This track opened in 2000 and quickly became a real favorite. It is another links-styled course that plays through, and around water and marshes. It features extensive mounding, wide landing areas, five sets of tees, creative bunkering (some run into the lakes) and large greens with some interesting breaks. It was voted among Golf for Women Magazine’s “Top 100 Fairways in America.” The are the first course in-town to wake-up and address Myrtle Beach’s slow play plague, by offering 12-minute tee times, while the greedy operators foolishly continue with their 8-minute, 6-hour traffic jams.
