TPC of Myrtle Beach
Designer Tom Fazio, in concert with Lanny Watkins took full advantage of
nature’s offerings to create this course. They utilized water features,
environmental grasses an d
rolling terrain to give the TPC its one-of-a-kind look. Former home of
the PGA Senior Tour Ingersol-Rand Senior Championship, this course is
drawing raves from both the professional and amateur golfers. Ranked 9th
in 1999 Best New Upscale Public Course by Golf Digest and Golf
& Travel lists it in their Top 10 of Myrtle’s Greatest Hits.
Surrounded by an untouched nature preserve, the course is so quiet; you
think you were in the middle of a remote jungle. The signature hole is
#17, 193-yard, par 3, featuring an elevated tee and a green surrounded
on three sides by water.
Wicked Stick
John Daly brings his “grip it and rip it” style to golf course design
and created a wide-open, fun course. Playing
this
course it almost like going to an amusement park and letting everything
go on a roller coaster. Teaming with architect Clyde Johnston, they
developed a stunning links course featuring expansive dunes fields,
large sand waste areas with gorse-like vegetation, deep pot bunkers and
strategically place water hazards. The course measures 7001 yards from
the championship tees, with a select number of “Daly Signature Tees”
offering additional length and difficulty. The signature holes are #7
and #11. Hole #7 is a 265-yard, par 3 and hole #11 is a 611-yard, par
5. These holes share a split green. Normal people play from the
forward tees. After your round, relax in the Long Ball Lounge…guess who
it’s named after?
Blackmoor Golf Club
Situated on the historic Longwood Plantation along the majestic Waccama w
River, this tranquil course exist in harmony with flowing lakes,
moss-draped oaks, lofty pines and the ever-changing cypress. It is not
surprising to see a wild turkey or a graceful deer or even an
alligator. The layout features lots of mounding bordering the fairways
and requires careful study, as several blind shots will challenge your
course management skills. Unparalleled fairways focus your attention on
one hole at a time. This is Gary Player’s only designed course in
Myrtle Beach and was named “Myrtle Beach Golf Course on the Year” in
2001.
Wachesaw Plantation East
You can challenge the site where both the Senior PGA Tour and the LPGA
Tour found great challenges. This Clyde Johnston-designed course is cut
out of
a forest, so trees are a definite factor on every hole. But the woods
make you feel you’re in the middle of nowhere and the only ones on the
course, but with the computer on the cart, you will not get lost. The
greens are slightly contoured and there are also twenty-six lakes
located on the course. As you can imagine, every hole presents its own
challenge. Hole #7, a 580-yard, par 5, requires a tee shot over water
onto a dogleg fairway that veers to the right and then to the left.
There is no chance of clearing the trees on the dogleg, so plan on
reaching the green in four shots. Or play the hole from the forward
tees and enjoy yourself.
Whispering
Pines Golf Course
Here’s another chance to play a traditional, old style course with no
houses, no condos, just you and the nature setting. As a “Certified
Audubon Cooperative Sanc tuary”,
this track offers a serene environment only ½ mile from the Atlantic.
You will hear airplanes though, you only a driver and a 5 iron from the
airport on #16. Don’t hit a sky ball, please. The most demanding hole
on the Ken Dye and Baxter Spann course is #12, a 567-yard, par 5
featuring a scenic water hazard flowing the entire length of the fairway
and of course everything slopes towards the water. |
