Arnie's Place at the Beach

Played everywhere over 40 years. I love this course. It has all the feel of greatness and deserves everything ever said about it. No longer on the 100 list, but it should be. It is a perfect example of a Parkland Course. You can pay much more in Myrtle, and my rate was Covid19 impacted, but this stands with other Myrtle Beach notables like Caledonia, True Blue, Love at Barefoot. The Golf press has simply forget it is here.

New Favorite

Do not want to be over the top but this is my new favorite course. It is a position course. that does not demand you be a boomer and will penalize you at some points if you are. It has the most elevation changes I have seen at the beach. The course was in perfect condition and the facilities at Legends are awesome. Having played most of Myrtle Beach I can honestly say your money would be well spent a Moorland You can pay a lot more and get a lot less.

Best Condition

This is a favorite course. It has some longer than needed par 4's and 5's, and there is abundent water, but the design and opennes,s,even with tall pines ,is a good visual.The Greens in Myrtle Beach this year are bad at a lot of noteable courses because of late frosts. Here they were worked early and responded well. The course is in great shape.

Destination Golf

The Legends complex is a great base for a Myrtle Beach Vacation. Live here but refer visitors all the time. The courses are Highland type and well maintained. The practice facilities are abundent and the Ted Frick Classic Swing Academy is one of the South's best, and has a great Summer Program if you travel with kids.The location is central to Myrtle Beach. It is not an ad. This is what I tell my friends.

Peace and Gators

The rate is Local. The Witch is worth playing for a number of reasons. This is a South Carolina nature trail. No houses, narrow fairways. You will spend time just touring and taking photos. Wildlife is everywhere. If you go into the woods dont enter very deeply.The course is challanging. It was designed to reduce flood damage to greens and tees so most holes have elevation changes. Best played in absence of recent rain.

Relaxing Value

Peak Season, course invery good shape. Wide Fairways, staff ifriendly, off course maintaince and facilities well kept for age. This course is friendly to Juniors. In Myrtle you can lay down big bucks for some great courses. This course would stand well among any you have back home. Fees are reasonable. So drop
$150. on Mon/Tue and play a Top 100, come here and relax your wallet on Wednesday. Good Locals rate.

Run

I have played Golf for 45 years. I grew up near Pinehurst and have lived in Myrtle Beach 26 years. This is one of the Top 10 worst cources I have ever been on. Dispite the Locals Fee I left feeling they owed me money. The cours conditions rimimic my back yard and the Club House has been condemed by flooding. This land is begging for a Condo Complex.

Thank you for playing Azalea Sands Golf Club. We're sorry to hear you feel the way you do about our golf course. Our maintenance crew is working extremely hard to recover from the harsh winter and early spring. We hope you'll consider giving us another try in the future.

Hidden Find

This course was designed in 1958 but should serve as a templet for new courses in many respects. First it is short but that is misleading. Massive drives are taken out on many of the doglegs The elevation changes are impactful, the pathways fro the tee are sometimes narrow. The greens are often elevated, small and domed islands (Pinehurst) If you are in the area play it. This is not owned by a multi million dollar resort so do not expect perfection, but it is worth the experience. If you could replant this in a golf destination, add a few strategic bunkers and it would be a go to.

In Dustin's Footsteps.

Very Good condition. Layout is fun and challenging. The facilities and details are very good . Things like cart paths are what you would expect from a Top College Golf Facility. The best part was not only visualizing your shot but Dustin Johnson's. (he played for Coastal). You can spend more at the Beach and get much less. It is one of my regular spots when pricing peaks in season here.

Beautiful location. Eye pleasing layout. Elevations changes (for Myrtle Beach). This was a course layout along the inland waterway and every bit as beautiful as Caledonia. Can not wait to return in spring.

Deserves its Status

This place was beautiful. Fairways and greens were perfection. Not overly long. The par 4's were driver and short/mid iron for most of the group. Par 3's were a challenge especially the famous 9th. This is a course worth putting on the list. It was 90 with high humidity in the Carolina Sun and I would have played 36 if I could have.

One of Myrtles Best

Man O War always comes through. The design is exceptional. There are a lot of courses in Myrtle that demand much higher rates for less of an experience. Expect water and a number of islands but they are fair. The opening and ending par 5's are birdie opportunities.The back nine is a blast.

Hot Jily Fun

This course is short. Most will be low irons on par 4. Greens and fairways are good. Layout is very good and greens are multi level and often raised with pot bunkers. This course forces you to use irons as opposed to fairway woods off whites. Only two par 5's. Had fun. Good price. The down side is lots of condos and homes. If windows on fairways mess with your mind this is not the place.

Great Value

This course is long. The waste bunkers run the course. Elevated Greens are the norm. Fairways were fine. Greens were good. A rainy summer softened greens so they have taken incoming abuse. For the price of a municipal you get a Challenger. If you drive 250 you still have a fairway wood. You feel like you are on a much pricier course. The slope reads 130. This is the length. That is the downside and at the same time the challenge. You find yourself saying "I am not gettiung paid for this, I wish I was a senior". Cart Paths are perfect and edged. That tells you a lot about conditions.

Local Favoritw

Lucky enough to live here. Conditions of greens and fairways are looking very good with Fall coming. Man O War is one of those courses that if you play it often will make you feel and perform five shots better at most courses. Unless you are a very heavy hitter the par 4 second shots will test you. The 5's are reachable in reg., Water comes into play at inconvenient times but that makes it fun. Slope from the whites is 130 and it shows. You can pay a lot more around Myrtle and get much less. Next door is The Wizard sister course.

Fun Links Style

Someone moved a lot of dirt around to pull Links style off in Myrtle Beach. My day was a windy one. Fairways and Greens are nice. Moving into fall you expect that here. Open and rolling, a relaxing round.Length from whites not a stress.Several elevated greens. Do not become to complacent near the end as 17 and 18 will wake you up with their island greens. Play the Wizard and warm up for Man O War next door.
