Myrtle Beach Area

There are some other notable picks for this past year Players Top Choice Picks by the MBGA. Some of these are on the eastern seaboard and fairly nearby and we claim them as our own. One of these is Oyster Bay Golf Club in Sunset Beach NC. Dan Maples and Larry Young have created a course that is very innovative. Severe marsh holes, two island green par threes and strategically placed, beautiful fresh water lakes work together to make this course worth the drive.

Tim Cate created Tiger’s Eye Golf Links in Ocean Isle Beach NC. There are plenty of trees to make the course challenging and Tim Cate made good use of the greens and water. The 592-yard final hole is impressive forcing golfers to carry water from an elevated tee shot.

Conway SC is so close to Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand that we do consider it to be local. Two of your favorites are found here as well. One is the Avocet at Wild Wing. Larry Nelson and Jeff Brauer designed it as a signature course. It is noted for being playable and enjoyable. It is a pleasant course and ever changing, as seasonable winds come into play. In 1994 Golf Digest recognized The Avocet as one of "The Top 10 Best New Resort Courses in America."

If you plan to head towards Conway, on your next visit to check out the Golf Scene in Myrtle Beach don't miss the Witch. This course was built on 500 acres of land located in the middle of a swamp between Myrtle Beach and Conway. The holes have many severe changes in elevation. Wetlands come into play on almost every hole and there are four miles of bridges that must be crossed. The course is an eerily isolated experience being intentionally located away from the distractions of hotels, homes and developments. Come and see for yourself...if you dare. The Golf you have come to expect at Myrtle Beach is still here for you, don't worry we will help you to know where to find it.
