MOW Rev.jpgWhen Man O’War Golf Club was under construction, nothing was left to chance. The subsoil under the greens sites was customized to each location and wind studies were conducted to maximize air flow around the course.

Part of the exhaustive research owner Claude Pardue oversaw revealed that even though the property didn’t have any native water, it did have an unusually high water table, a discovery that led to the construction of one of the most unique Myrtle Beach golf courses.

Wicked Stick 094.jpgJohn Daly stood on the ninth tee at Wicked Stick and pointed to the green, like Babe Ruth calling his shot. Long John, playing barefooted, then unsheathed his driver and lashed a shot that ended up 12 feet from the hole.

Arrowhead Country Club 10.jpgArrowhead Country Club, home of three nine-hole layouts, is the type of facility that makes Myrtle Beach golf's greatest destination. The 4.5-star course offers a central location, great value and a memorable round.

The first thing that stands out is the name - The Witch. Golf course names typically include words like dunes, hills, creek and country club. A witch conjures up images of haunted houses, spells and any number of spooky scenarios.

3 Favorite Holes: The Witch

No. 9.jpg
The Witch's layout is as distinctive as its name and far prettier than the moniker might suggest. With the front nine playing through the Waccamaw Swamp and the back nine set amidst sand dune formations that give it unusual (natural) elevation, the course has many memorable holes.
The Witch earned 4.5 stars from Golf Digest but nothing carries more weight than the opinion of the area's regular visitors. See what players just like you have to say about the Witch.

Sixteen years after it opened, Avocet (official site) continues to be defined by the architectural creativity and outstanding conditions that made it a Myrtle Beach golf favorite from the outset. Avocet features ample bunkering and water, but the course is made distinctive by a double green, a double fairway, and the use of swales around its greens.

The Avocet Course at Wild Wing, a Larry Nelson/Jeff Brauer design, has been a Myrtle Beach golf favorite since its opening in 1993. Avocet is a fun layout due in no small part to the diversity of challenges it offers.

Myrtle Beach boasts 10 of America's top 100 golf courses, two of America's top 25 golf schools, and now the area is home to the 2009 National Golf Course of the Year.
The golf is great, entertainment is abundant and there are enough restaurants to bring Ralphie May to his knees, but none of those are the primary reason Myrtle Beach and the Central Strand, remain the area's most popular landing spot for golfers.

Myrtle Beach is the Grand Strand's most vibrant community, and no attraction, other than the Atlantic Ocean, of course, generates more buzz than Broadway at the Beach.

Plans for the renovation of Pine Lakes International Country Club began over four years ago. Craig Schreiner, the architect hired to restore the Granddaddy to its place among the Grand Strand's elite, drew up 12 different layout scenarios over a period of 18 months.
