Explore Myrtle Beach | | | | | | | 4980 Barefoot Resort Bridge Rd
North Myrtle Beach,
SC
29582
843-390-3200 | | | | | Description: BAREFOOT. Featuring four outstanding courses, the Barefoot Resort is truly a destination unto itself, especially for golfers. The Norman Course features striking holes along the Intracoastal Waterway and takes full advantage of the natural landscape. The course designed by Davis Love III is a traditional Lowcountry plantation course featuring wide fairways and ample landing areas. The third trek, by Tom Fazio, also features a classic Lowcountry design and is flanked by water and dense tree cover. The picturesque (and semi-private) Dye Course, meanwhile, is set against the Carolina Bays and features many of its designer's signature pitfalls, requiring that golfers avoid being distracted by the scenery.

| Big Cats of Ocean Ridge Plantation351 Ocean Ridge Pkwy SW
Ocean Isle Beach,
NC
28469
910-287-1717 | | | | | Description: OCEAN ISLE BEACH. Ocean Ridge Plantation offers golf so good that it makes the 30-minute drive up Highway 17 seem well worth the effort. Designed by Willard Byrd, Lion's Paw appeals to all skill levels with its forgiving fairways and contoured greens. One of two courses here designed by Tom Cate, Panther's Run poses a different set of challenges than those offered by the former en lieu of long shots, this course requires accuracy and, perhaps, a little daring. Pinehurst inspired Cate's Tiger's Eye, whose traditional design was cut out of Sunset Isle's pine and hardwood forests.

Centered on a lovely antebellum-styled clubhouse, the rolling course is flanked by pines and hardwoods and challenges even the most accurate hitters with its many sand bunkers and water hazards.

Myrtle Beach,
SC
29572
843-449-5236 | | | | | Description: MYRTLE BEACH. A Robert Trent Jones signature course (he oversaw its renovation in the 70s and early 90s), The Dunes was completed in 1948 and stands today as one of the Strand's most respected even revered golf clubs. One of the course's most endearing qualities is that each hole has been individually named to give golfers a better idea of the challenges awaiting them. The signature hole is the par-5 #13, famously known as "Waterloo" thanks to the sharp dogleg it takes around crystalline Lake Singleton.

| Grand Dunes: The Resort Course1580 Terra Verde Dr
Myrtle Beach,
SC
29579
843-315-0333 | | | | | Description: MYRTLE BEACH. Laid out along the Intracoastal Waterway, the attractive Resort Course appeals to golfers of all skill levels. Designed by Roger Rulewich, the course measures 7618 from the back-tees, and the back nine includes a consecutive run of four of the course's toughest holes, only to "reward" players with the par-5 #17. The private Members Course is a tough, classic par-71 set against a backdrop of scenic woodlands and wetlands.

| 200 Heritage Dr
Pawleys Island,
SC
29585
843-237-3424 | | | | | Description: PAWLEYS ISLAND. After playing a few holes at the Heritage Club, you may just find yourself wishing that you'd brought your camera instead of your driver. Constructed on tracts that once made up the True Blue and Midway Plantations, this exquisite course enjoys an overwhelming array of scenery, from giant magnolias and oaks that date back three centuries to natural lakes and wetlands. Yes, this par-71 is as beautiful as they come, and it wastes no time letting you know how tough it can be the second hole (and the #1 handicap) is a long, narrow par-5 whose green is guarded by trees, traps and water.

| 2000 Arnold Palmer Dr
Shallotte,
SC
910-755-3434 | | | | | Description: SHALLOTTE. An Arnold Palmer signature course, Rivers Edge sits on the banks of the Shallotte River and offers an outstanding arsenal of breathtaking views and championship-caliber holes. Six fairways stretch across bluffs that overlook the river as it winds through the marshes. Measuring just over 6900 from the back tees, Rivers Edge will not overwhelm you with long distances, but it does make full use of the landscape. Take for example the ninth hole: The par-five forces a second shot that must clear the water in order to land on a peninsula-like sliver of fairway extending into the marsh. Bring your accuracy ... or plenty of balls.

| 1400 Tidewater Dr
North Myrtle Beach,
SC
29582
843-249-3829 | | | | | Description: NORTH MYRTLE BEACH. Designed by Ken Tomlinson, a native South Carolinian, Tidewater pays homage to the courses of the early 20th century that is to say, his intent was that this course fit the landscape and natural beauty of the area. Based on the accolades Tidewater has received over the years, it's easy to guess that Tomlinson's idea was a success. The 500-acre tract looks out over various landscapes, including coastal bluffs, Lowcountry forests, saltwater marshes, and even the banks of the Intracoastal Waterway.

Murrells Inlet,
SC
29576
843-357-3399 | | | | | Description: MURRELLS INLET. Untamed wetlands and rugged pine forests characterize this scenic course, designed by the legendary Tom Fazio. Indeed, Fazio's aim was to create a course that would not take away from the features of the landscape, and each fairway seems to brandish a different natural hazard, whether it's a water feature or an expanse of wetland that must be carried. Elevated tee boxes and open fairways give golfers the illusion of advantage, but this quickly fades once they encounter one of 70 bunkers Fazio incorporated into his design.

The course, which plays 7062 yards from the back tees, is indeed one of the treasures of Pawleys Island.
