Myrtle Beach Golf at Pine Lakes
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.
