Your Myrtle Beach Golf masters had the opportunity to go play “The Granddaddy” of Myrtle Beach this past Wednesday. While the weather was cool and sunny, the golf was hot.
Pine Lakes reopened this past March, after being closed for a couple of years while the course was being renovated. This was my first time to see the course with all the improvements and the improvements were substantial. Having grown up in Myrtle Beach and playing Pine Lakes many times I was surprised at how open it now feels, neat and clean.
A few holes have been replaced but the improvements to the existing holes is what surprised me the most. It is obvious to eye that they have planted new grass through-out and replaced the greens (with SeaDwarf Seashore Paspalum grass), it should be a lot easier to maintain during our hot summer months. The tee box areas have been enlarged and native waste areas have been added. Not many cart paths like you see on most courses, tee off and scatter. If you’re thinking of playing some golf in Myrtle Beach area be sure to include a round at “The Granddaddy”, you won’t be disappointed.
As publicized and promoted by the sun news, here is a look again at the Myrtle Beach Golf “Dream 18″. These are the best 18 holes of golf as voted by those that have played golf extensively in Myrtle Beach. Credit goes to the Sun News for putting together the best golf holes on the Grand Strand.
While several of the courses are private, most of these Myrtle Beach Golf courses are accessible by anyone from the traveling golfer to the local looking to get in some quality golf. I have some personal favorites in Prestwick, Oyster Bay, and River’s Edge.

Bald head Island Golf Club, located 5 miles off the coast of Southport, NC is a “one of a kind” golf course on a small island near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.It has been a course that Golfmasters have recommended to our traveling Myrtle Beach golfers as an experience like nothing else in Myrtle Beach.While a bit involved to get to from the center of Myrtle Beach, it’s certainly worth the trip.There are not many Myrtle Beach golf courses that require you to board a ferry for the 25 minute ride to the island, but at Bald Head Island, it is part of the experience.The benefits are playing on a small pristine island, which do not allow any other forms of transportation other than golf carts, bikes, etc.The island really isn’t large enough to support anything larger.
You can have 365 degree views of the ocean while playing this magnificent Myrtle Beach golf course.Wind is always a factor in playing the course, and can change club selection dramatically.In addition to the challenge of the golf course, there is stunning natural beauty to be experienced.The wildlife is tremendous with everything from alligators to osprey and eagles.Be sure to allow time to eat in the club, as the food is tremendous as well.All of it can be enjoyed while overlooking this Myrtle Beach golf course and the rest of this beautiful island.
The members of the Bald Head Island Club in Myrtle Beach decided to bring in renowned golf course architect Tim Cate for a redesign of the golf course.Originally designed by George Cobb, of Augusta National Fame, the members felt it was time for a slight face lift.Mr. Cate has designed numerous Myrtle Beach Golf Courses, including Leopard’s Chase, Tigers Eye, and numerous other Myrtle Beach Golf destinations.Personally we felt that Bald Head Golf Club was always in great shape and has always provided a fantastic playing experience.However the members felt that a renovation could maintain the exacting standards and perhaps even take the course to the next level.
Currently only 9 holes are open and the other 9 will be closing on December 15th.Tim Cate plans to replace all the greens converting them to miniverde bermuda, as well as renovate the sand traps and improve some drainage where need be.This will enable the golf course to take advantage of the latest turf technology, ensuring the best possible playing conditions year round.The target opening date for the newly renovated course is May 15, 2010.Hopefully all goes accordingly to schedule and they are able to open with a product even better than we have previously experienced. With all the Myrtle Beach golf courses available to play at while visiting Myrtle Beach, this one holds a special place in every golfer’s heart.
