Myrtle Beach Top Designed Golf Courses
Myrtle Beach is one of the best
golf destinations for top architect designed golf courses at a
reasonable price. Most golf courses in Myrtle Beach have very reasonable
green fees unlike the golf courses in Palm Springs or Phoenix-Scottsdale.
With over 100 golf courses in Myrtle Beach, you can’t throw
a golf club without hitting a golf celebrity designed course.
Some of the top golf celebrity designed courses are described below:
The Barefoot golf resort offers four top notch designed golf
courses. The Love course, designed by Davis Love III is on a great
piece of property that snakes its way through an old plantation. The
golf course is 7,000 yards, and was ranked 38th in Golf Digest’s
2005-2006 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses.
The three other golf
courses at Barefoot Resort were designed by Tom Fazio, George
Norman and Pete Dye. The Dye Course is a private course, and is the
most difficult golf course at Barefoot. It is over 7,300 yards, and
contains a plethora of hidden bunkers and mounding.
The Dunes Golf and Beach Club was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.
It is consistently rated one of America's top 100 golf courses, and
is one of the most respected tracks in Myrtle
Beach. It has hosted the Senior Tour Championships and the Women's
U.S. Open.
The River's Edge Golf Club was designed by golf pro Arnold Palmer
and Erik Larsen. The landscape is stunning; it runs along the Shallotte
River and the surrounding marshes. The slope rating is 149 from the
tips (one of the highest in Myrtle Beach),
and will throw 10 forced carries at you, either off the tee, to the
green or both. If you're a mid- to high-handicapper and try it from
the back, you'll end up tired and frustrated with an unreliable or
blown up scorecard.
