This picture was not taken in Myrtle Beach, however Horry County (Myrtle Beach Metro Area) does have the largest Brown Bear Population in the state. Not that any of your golfmasters have seen a bear on the golf course. We do have a golf course by the name Black Bear here in Myrtle Beach.
Unfortunately the guy forgot to mark his golf ball. What was he thinking?

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.
Here is one of the best looking golf groups, I’ve seen in a while. The Richardson group comes down from Nova Scotia every April to kick off their golf season. This past year they had 16 guys. They stayed on the North end of Myrtle Beach, in some of the best Myrtle Beach Condos the area offers.
They played a total of 5 rounds oat some of the best myrtle beach golf courses. The Courses included Sandpiper Bay, River Hills, Crow Creek, Eagle Next and the Private Founders Club at St. James plantation. A good time was had by all, and they hope to be back next spring as well. Before you know it, it will be here.
If you wish to have your Myrtle Beach Golf groups pictures posted to our blog, which we encourage you to do, please email it to the Myrtle Beach Golf Master that set up your golf vacation and we’ll have it posted promptly.
