Myrtle Beach is syonomous with golfing. To some it's considered to be a mecca of golf to others the golf capital of the world. We've tried to get an official number but its figures that Myrtle Beach offers more than 100 golf courses in the city alone. To try and sum up the Top Golf Courses in Myrtle Beach is not an easy thing to do so we've gone out to our members. Criteria such as difficulty, layout, location, services were all taken in to consideration. Here are some of the results. We offer to you the TravelApe.com members Top Three Myrtle Beach Golf Courses.
The Dye Course at Barefoot Resort - The Barefoot Resort in Myrtle Beach is home to four courses, but the Dye Golf Course is the signature golf course to this resort area. The Dye Course is named aptly for its' designer Pete Dye. Be forewarned, this is not a course that a beginner should take on his or her first shot out. The Dye Course is notoriously known for being extremely challenging even to the most skilled golfer. All totaled the course is laid out in over 7,000 yards and is a Par 72. Greens Fees are a little pricey too, for a round of golf can go anywhere from $100 to $180. With all the pitfalls and difficulties the course offers there is no way to discount the beauty of the landscape. This course is a work of art. The Dye Course at Barefoot Resort lies along the coastline that gives way to beautiful white sands of the Myrtle Beach back bays. Of course with a golf course such as this the play is not only the highlight of your visit. You can enjoy Five Star Dining or partake in any number of other great amenties the resort has to offer.
The True Blue Plantation Golf Club - This public golf course is one of the most famous in the world of golf. Offering over 7,000 yards of links and a Par 72, this well manicured, curvaceous course is magnificent. A few of the top features of the True Blue Plantation Golf Course is the significant elevation changes from hole to hole and from tee to greens. To add a little more to the list of awards and credentials of True Blue Plantation, Golf Digest named it as one of the Top 50 Golf Courses in the United States. From our research we've found out that a lot of changes and "fixes" were made to fill in waste areas and bunkers and to redo a good portion of the links.
Rivers Edge Golf Club - This golf course is a dream. The Rivers Edge Golf Club was designed by none other than Arnold Palmer. This golf course offers a 72 Par Handicap with about 6,900 yards of links. Greens fees are actually not bad, relative to other courses in Myrtle Beach, where the average greens fees are $89 to $109. To that end just as it was stated with the Dye Course, the Rivers Edge Golf Course is very difficult. The word punishing actually came up several times when this course was discussed. For the golfer, sure playing the game and withstanding the pressure each one puts upon himself is a rush, but we can not discount the beauty and magesty that many of these courses have to offer. The Rivers Edge Golf Course is named so for just the reason of it's location. It is located and situated along the Shallotte River.
We will be coming back with more reviews of golf courses as time passes and as always we welcome the comments and questions by you our users. Till then good golfing.
