Jones' intricate design uses the most of its natural hazards, which force golfers to think on almost every shot. Tee it up from the tips and you'll quickly understand why Arcadian Shores is still one of the toughest courses in Myrtle Beach. Arcadian Shores is set within Kingston Plantation, close to great hotels, restaurants, shops, and more. ...

The Bald Head Island course is a seaside masterpiece located on the southernmost of the North Carolina Cape Islands. Like the links courses in Ireland and Scotland, seven holes on the course stretch across rolling dunes overlooking the ocean. The balance of the course wraps around fifteen fresh water lakes and winds through a maritime forest. The ocean wind always plays a role in club selection and shot making requiring golfers to pay attention to course management. The course architect, George ...

As a Carolina native, Davis Love III is a true fan of "Lowcountry" golf. Love's creation at Barefoot Resort shows his roots of traditional Carolina golf, but also exemplifies the best of modern design with a visually impressive selection of holes. There's plenty of room in the landing areas, but trouble is never too far away. The course also features outstanding playing conditions with three different types of Bermuda grass used on the greens, fairways, and rough. Also consider the other three c...

Laid out by Gene Hamm in 1968, Beachwood has consistently provided one of the most enjoyable rounds of golf available in North Myrtle.

Gary Player's first course in Myrtle Beach is an outstanding one. It's so good that the Myrtle Beach Golf Course Owners Association named it the "2001 Golf Course of the Year." Taking advantage of the natural terrain and exciting vistas, Player designed a course with fun in mind. Blackmoor offers a perfect mix of holes - some with wide-open fairways, others winding through thick stands of native trees and bending around lakes....

Named "2006 Myrtle Beach Golf Course of the Year" by the Myrtle Beach Golf Course Owners Association, Burning Ridge is one of six clubs managed by Classic Golf Group.

Ranked #3 among South Carolina's Public Access Courses in 2006 by Golfweek, this Mike Strantz layout was built on the site of an old colonial rice plantation. The design is highlighted by huge live oaks, pristine lakes, and sweeping views as it winds along marshland and the Intracoastal Waterway. The natural terrain makes for a challenging round of golf with tight fairways and well-protected greens. Make the trip to the south end of the Grand Strand and see what all the fuss is about!...

This Tom Jackson design is a challenge for all golfers. Narrow tree-lined fairways, large greens, and nearly 100 bunkers are some of the reasons why golfers come back year after year to test their skills.

Since its inception in the late 1940's, The Dunes has been considered one of the best courses in the Southeast. Currently #4 on Golfweek's list of South Carolina "Public Access Courses," this is one of Robert Trent Jones, Sr.'s trademark designs. Jones described the property as "a lovely piece ... where the Singleton Swash empties into the Atlantic," and his par-five 13th hole is arguably the best single hole he ever designed.

Note: The Dunes is only available guests...

Farmstead has gained recognition for its mammoth par-six 18th hole. Yes, you read that right, a par six! The tee box on the 767-yard hole is set in South Carolina, and the green is actually in North Carolina. Is it a gimmick? Not really. It's different, but it's a well-designed hole. The remaining 17 holes are also a delight to play. Originally designed by Willard Byrd, the club recently brought Dave Johnson in to make some enhancements to the layout. The results are impressive! After your round...

The course is scheduled to open for play February 1st, 2008.

Play Glen Dornoch and the experience will be etched in your memory for years....

As the centerpiece of an exclusive resort-residential community, Grande Dunes sets the standard for golf along the Carolina Coast. The Roger Rulewich design was nominated for Golf Digest's "Best New Course in America" award for 2001 and continues to receive accolades as time goes on. The layout is over 7600 yards from the tips and is located on an elevated bluff overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway with outstanding views to the Atlantic Ocean less than a mile away. All we can say is "wow...

This 27-hole layout by Willard Byrd and Clyde Johnston was inspired by the traditions of Scottish golf. From the moment you arrive at the British-style clubhouse, you know you're in for a special day. Heather Glen is located on Highway 17, just North of Myrtle Beach and one mile south of the North Carolina-South Carolina border. Named Golf Digest's "Best New Public Course" upon opening in 1987, this popular course continues to be an outstanding selection for a Myrtle Beach golf trip....

Local golf developer Larry Young carved the Heritage Club out of 600 acres of former plantation grounds. This terrific layout winds its way along the dark waters of the Waccama River with giant magnolias and 300-year-old oaks dominating the landscape. It's a beautiful setting for a golf course with spacious fairways and undulating greens surrounded by lush stands of camellias and azaleas. However, don't let the beauty fool you. At over 7000 yards from the tips, this track will challenge your be...

Rated three stars by Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play," this challenging Gene Hamm design has water on 15 of 18 holes. There are a number of daunting holes here; however, the course is known best for the 410-yard, par-4 ninth hole, which is part of the Grand Strand's original "Dream 18." Although water is always near, the course plays more open than you'd think with room for the occasional missed drive. Managed by Classic Golf Group, Indian Wells was named "2004 Myrtle Beach Golf...

Nominated by Golf Digest as the "Best Public Golf Course for 1991," this Willard Byrd design is an exciting course winding among creeks and giant oaks. Indigo Creek offers plenty of water, doglegs, and bunkers including one hole with a 90-degree dogleg that crosses the same creek twice. ~ Due to South Carolina Law coolers are allowed, however, they may NOT contain alcohol!...

For a sample of all the Grand Strand has to offer at a great value, you can't go wrong with a course managed by the Links Group. These eight clubs provide the full range of Myrtle Beach golf. On the north side of town, play Colonial Charters or Cypress Bay. Burning Ridge and Quail Creek are centrally located, and Indigo Creek, Indian Wells, Island Green, and Sea Gull can all be found on the southern end of the Strand....

The Legends Resorts features three distinct designs on property. The par-71 Heathland, by Tom Doak, is known for its lack of trees and menacing winds. Doak modeled the course after the great seaside links of the British Isles such as Lahinch, Cruden Bay, and St. Anrdews. Although the fairways look wide and inviting from the tee, you'd better keep it straight as deep pot bunkers and thick rough await any wayward shot. In addition, your short game will be challenged by the undulating and well-guar...

The Legends Resorts features three distinct designs on property. Upon opening in 1990, P.B. Dye's Moorland Course was crowned one of the "Top Five New Public Courses in America" by Golf Digest. Much like P.B.'s father's design at PGA West, the target-style course features deep bunkers, multi-level greens, and Dye-signature bulkheads. This challenging design will confound and delight even the best of players....

Featured here are three distinct designs. The Heathland, by Tom Doak, is known for its lack of trees, menacing winds, pot bunkers, and wide rolling fairways. The Moorland, by P.B. Dye, was crowned one of the "Top Five New Public Courses in America" by Golf Digest and is most remembered for its deep bunkers, multi-level greens, and Dye-signature bulkheads. The Parkland, a Legends Group design, was inspired by the "early American courses" like Augusta National and Pine Valley. Wetlands, deep-faced...

Open for play in 1966, Litchfield was among the initial eight courses built on the Grand Strand. Since then, the course has maintained its original features, including player-friendly greenside pathways for bump-and-run approach shots. Ranked one of the "World's 50 Best" by Conde Nast Traveler, the course also boasts mature, tree-lined fairways which wind among the giant oaks and shimmering lakes of a former Carolina rice plantation. This layout is the flagship of the historic plantation...

This Jack Nicklaus design is considered one of the most difficult on the Grand Strand. This difficulty stems from the countless large manmade mounds which are particularly lethal near the green; several tricky par 3's, especially the #13 with an island green; many bottomless bunkers surrounding small Bermuda landing surfaces; and a striking horseshoe waste bunker on the #10 signature hole. Players consider #4 the most difficult hole. At 472 yards from the back tees, it features a narrow fairway ...

Rated 3 1/2 stars by Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play," Dan Maples created Man O' War from the depths of a 100-acre lake. Back-to-back island greens, fairways that seem to float on water, and strategically placed trees all combine for a memorable round. Keeping the ball in play is only part of the game plan here as most approach shots are to large bent-grass greens. Your short game will also need to be at its best! The club is found off Route 501, just west of the Intracoastal Waterway....

Just over the North Carolina border you'll find Meadowlands, one of Willard Byrd's best designs. The world-class layout flows through a peaceful setting of meadows, wetlands, and hardwoods. The course itself features well-defined hazards, beautiful fairways, and large contoured greens. One particularly attractive hole is the 432-yard par-four sixth. Be sure to take enough stick on your second shot here as there's a hidden water hazard guarding the green. One tip; bring your best game, this track...

In 1996, the Palmer Design Group transformed the North Course at Myrtle Beach National, arguably the most requested and most recognized course on the beach, into one of the finest courses on the Grand Strand. King's North features some of the most dramatic and unique holes in all of golf. For example, the par-five sixth features an island fairway which offers a "risk-reward" second shot to the green. Other courses on property include the West and Southcreek. Spend your day at Myrtle Beach Nation...
