Myrtle Beach Golf Course - The following Golf courses are a must play
Tidewater Golf Club And Plantation
The second-oldest course is the "Tidewater Golf Club And Plantation"
which was ranked by Golf Digest as its "Best New Public Course in
America" in 1990 and is still No.1 at Myrtle Beach. This course is No.39
among Golf Magazine`s "Top 100 You Can Play" list. There are bent
grass and multiple tee boxes, pine-lined inland holes and spectacular holes
built along the Intracostal Waterway with views of nearby Cherry Grove Beach.

Dunes
Golf & Beach Club
Another lovely course you have to play is the "Dunes Golf & Beach
Club". It`s a 7 200 yard course on which nearly every hole culminates in an
elevated green guarded by gaping bunkers. There are a lot of trees along but
they don`t hemmed you. Much more difficult is the water around. The par-5, the
13th hole is called "Watterloo". This word says enough, it`s up to
your fantasy....

Caledonia
Golf And Fish Club
"Caledonia Golf And Fish Club" belongs to the "Top 10 Places
to Play" (Golf Magazine) and Golf Digest say "Fifth Best
Public Course in America". No. 18 is really the best hole on this dramatic
course. This par 4 ends at the clubhouse, with water on the right side in front
the wonderful green which is protected by bunkers front and back and features a
ridge down the middle.

Barefoot
Resort
Golfers have their choice of four courses at the "Barefoot Resort",
opening in 2000. Each is named after its designer: the Pete (Dye), the Tom (Fazio),
the Greg (Norman) and the Davis (Love III).

Tom`s
course contains water on 15 holes and there are plenty of sand and waste
areas. Hole No.13 is a par-4 with two greens, extensive bunkers and a sand
waste area.

-
Greg`s
course is a very natural one. Vegetation and waste areas are around the
holes which
reminds to a desert. In fact - there is none. The little par-3, No.
10, is a lovely hole with the Waterway in the background.
Details: Par
72, Rating: 73.9

The
Davis` course contains a lot of fun. Nearly every hole sports a generous
landing area. The
Golf course reminds to courses in Scotland and Ireland because of the
surrounding.

Tournament
Players Club of Myrtle Beach
Also one of the best courses is the "Tournament Players Club of Myrtle
Beach". It belongs to "Top 10 Best New Upscale Public Courses" in
1999 and is ranked among " Top 20 New Courses To Play" by the Golf
Digest. This wonderful Golf course is the home for the PGA Senior Tour
Championship and was designed by Tom Fazio and Lanny Wadkins. The first nine
holes are very sandy while the last nine holes features extensive water.

The
River Club
What about "The River Club"? This course is built in a very
plantation-style with enough water (on 15 Holes) and nearly 100 bunkers. The
fairways are nicely and wide but if you want to reach the green, you have to
play very accurately. The last hole is a very interesting one. It is a dogleg
left which you have to play down the water-lines left side and a green tucked
next to the water. The third shot is a carry over the water. Details:
Par 72, Rating: 70.2, Slope: 129
The
Willbrook Course
"The Willbrook Course" is a very friendly course for women. There
are wetlands and waterways and there are plantations and forests. The 15th hole
is a very exciting one. It`s a par-5 dogleg left that slopes downhill. At the
end is the green which is protected by deep bunkers. Marsh runs diagonally
through the middle of the fairway. Details:
