As a Carolina native, Davis Love III is a true fan of "Lowcountry" golf. Love's creation at Barefoot Resort shows his roots of traditional Carolina golf, but also exemplifies the best of modern design with a visually impressive selection of holes. There's plenty of room in the landing areas, but trouble is never too far away. The course also features outstanding playing conditions with three different types of Bermuda grass used on the greens, fairways, and rough. Also consider the other three c...

The pros at Black Bear invite you to "take a walk on the wild side." The beautiful Tom Jackson parkland-style design was sculpted out of a dense land full of hardwoods and pines. There are no homes on the property, providing a pure golf experience without any outside distractions.

Named "2006 Myrtle Beach Golf Course of the Year" by the Myrtle Beach Golf Course Owners Association, Burning Ridge is one of six clubs managed by Classic Golf Group.

Ranked #3 among South Carolina's Public Access Courses in 2006 by Golfweek, this Mike Strantz layout was built on the site of an old colonial rice plantation. The design is highlighted by huge live oaks, pristine lakes, and sweeping views as it winds along marshland and the Intracoastal Waterway. The natural terrain makes for a challenging round of golf with tight fairways and well-protected greens. Make the trip to the south end of the Grand Strand and see what all the fuss is about!...
Charleston National Country Club is a challenging course designed by renowned golf course architect Rees Jones. With the course winding through natural lagoons and the marshlands of the Intracoastal Waterway, golfers can quickly lose themselves in the beauty and natural wildlife found here. Players must be aware of the position of the pin on the green and the direction and strength of the wind in order to hit good approach shots in the appropriate landing areas....
This course was designed by architect Arthur Hills with an emphasis placed on accuracy, rather than length, off the tee. Hills' classic design compliments the beauty of the site. Dense woods and wetlands border rolling fairways and undulating greens. Subtle mounding reflects the contours of the land, which rises and falls. Golf Magazine named Coosaw Creek a "Must Play" course in Charleston and Golf Digest recently awarded the course 3 1/2 stars...
Located just minutes west of the bridge to Hilton Head Island, this world-class Arnold Palmer Signature Course is situated on an amazing piece of property that highlights the scenic beauty of the Carolina Low Country. Managed by LinksCorp, Crescent Point is the only Arnold Palmer design in the area. The course features some unusual features for Low Country course including elevated tees and greens. With breathtaking marsh views and dramatic approach shots, you'll find Crescent Pointe to be a "sh...
Crosswinds Golf Club is the perfect choice of venue for a game of golf for golfers arriving at, or departing from, the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. Located just west of the airport, this facility offers golfers the opportunity to play a fantastic 18-hole championship course, or simply work the kinks out at the expansive practice facility, or on the lighted 9-hole Par-3 course. The championship course offers two distinctly different nines. The front nine offers a Parkland-style gol...

Like Black Bear, Burning Ridge and Indian Wells above, Crown Park is a Classic Golf Group facility....
The Melrose course, named after the Melrose mansion that once occupied this swathe of land during South Carolina's antebellum era, is most recognized for its finishing three ocean holes. Most notable is the Par-4 18th that features a split fairway dissected by an islet of trees and bunkers, and is bordered on the right by a spectacular ocean vista. Although the final three holes are the most celebrated, the landward links are certainly not mediocre. The course plays tough, as Nicklaus designs of...
Since its inception in the late 1940's, The Dunes has been considered one of the best courses in the Southeast. Currently #4 on Golfweek's list of South Carolina "Public Access Courses," this is one of Robert Trent Jones, Sr.'s trademark designs. Jones described the property as "a lovely piece ... where the Singleton Swash empties into the Atlantic," and his par-five 13th hole is arguably the best single hole he ever designed.
Note: The Dunes is only available guests...
Ranked #16 in South Carolina by Golf Digest (2005/06).
This Arthur Hills traditional design is set amid Bermuda-covered dunes and 200-year-old oaks draped in Spanish moss. Ranked by both Golf Magazine and Golf Digest as a "Top Ten New Resort Course," Dunes West offers a challenge for every level of golfer. You will find tree-lined fairways, generous landing areas inviting big drives, and only one forced carry over water. The bunkers are limited, yet placed strategically to capture any errant shots. Arthur Hills took full advantage of this fabulous s...
Positioned just minutes off Hilton Head Island, Eagle's Pointe offers an ideal location and setting for your next round of golf. A true and fair test for players of all ability levels, this course features wide, well-defined fairways, dramatic bunkering, and magnificent undulating greens. And it's all surrounded by the area's native grasses and towering pines. Designed by 1997 PGA Champion Davis Love III, Eagle's Pointe is widely regarded as Hilton Head's most exciting new course in recent years...
Farmstead has gained recognition for its mammoth par-six 18th hole. Yes, you read that right, a par six! The tee box on the 767-yard hole is set in South Carolina, and the green is actually in North Carolina. Is it a gimmick? Not really. It's different, but it's a well-designed hole. The remaining 17 holes are also a delight to play. Originally designed by Willard Byrd, the club recently brought Dave Johnson in to make some enhancements to the layout. The results are impressive! After your round...
The course is scheduled to open for play February 1st, 2008. Designed by Thomas Walker, the former lead designer for The Gary Player Design Group, The Founder's Club is a visually stunning layout that is challenging yet enjoyable to play.

As a tribute to Donald Ross of Dornoch, Scotland, designer Clyde Johnston has created Glen Dornoch, a traditional course that uses the natural terrain of this 270-acre site along the Intracoastal Waterway. Johnston's use of lakes, live oaks, and the surrounding marsh and river make the course as enjoyable to play as it is to look at. Play Glen Dornoch and the experience will be etched in your memory for years....
The first of Indigo Run's two Nicklaus-designed golf courses, the Golden Bear at Indigo Run has quickly earned a name for itself as one of the top-rated layouts on an island of top-flight designs. An abundance of water and sand keep play interesting, but never penalizing. Winding through a beautiful landscape of oak and pine woodlands, Golden Bear is a perfect addition to any golf itinerary....
As the centerpiece of an exclusive resort-residential community, Grande Dunes sets the standard for golf along the Carolina Coast. The Roger Rulewich design was nominated for Golf Digest's "Best New Course in America" award for 2001 and continues to receive accolades as time goes on. The layout is over 7600 yards from the tips and is located on an elevated bluff overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway with outstanding views to the Atlantic Ocean less than a mile away. All we can say is "wow...
This 27-hole layout by Willard Byrd and Clyde Johnston was inspired by the traditions of Scottish golf. From the moment you arrive at the British-style clubhouse, you know you're in for a special day. Heather Glen is located on Highway 17, just North of Myrtle Beach and one mile south of the North Carolina-South Carolina border. Named Golf Digest's "Best New Public Course" upon opening in 1987, this popular course continues to be an outstanding selection for a Myrtle Beach golf trip....
Local golf developer Larry Young carved the Heritage Club out of 600 acres of former plantation grounds. This terrific layout winds its way along the dark waters of the Waccama River with giant magnolias and 300-year-old oaks dominating the landscape. It's a beautiful setting for a golf course with spacious fairways and undulating greens surrounded by lush stands of camellias and azaleas. However, don't let the beauty fool you. At over 7000 yards from the tips, this track will challenge your be...

Rated three stars by Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play," this challenging Gene Hamm design has water on 15 of 18 holes. There are a number of daunting holes here; however, the course is known best for the 410-yard, par-4 ninth hole, which is part of the Grand Strand's original "Dream 18." Although water is always near, the course plays more open than you'd think with room for the occasional missed drive. Managed by Classic Golf Group, Indian Wells was named "2004 Myrtle Beach Golf...
Designed by Gary Player, the par-72 layout features holes playing directly along broad expanses of tidal marsh, offering panoramic views of the Kiawah River and acres of needlerush and spartina grass. Cougar Point is designed to test the scratch player while providing an enjoyable round for all.....
Located one mile outside the main gate of the Resort. This Scottish-American style course boarders the historic Haulover Creek and the Kiawah River. Wide areas of windswept fairways stretch alongside salt marshlands interspersed with densely forested areas of live oaks. Oak Point was rated among "America's Best" by Golfweek Magazine....
Designed by Pete Dye and opened in 1991 before the Ryder Cup Matches, The Ocean Course gained instant notoriety as the site of the most dramatic "War by the Shore," a battle decided literally by the final putt of Sunday's final match. In 1997, The Ocean Course hosted the World Cup of Golf, with the world's finest golfers from 32 countries competing in the stroke play tournament. But with all 18 holes offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, it's likely The Ocean Course would have earned w...

Designed by the consensus pick as the best contemporary architect in golf, Tom Fazio has left his mark on Kiawah. At Osprey Point, Fazio used a superb natural canvas to create a masterpiece in playability and variety. The setting for the course features four large, natural lakes, fingers of saltwater marsh, and dense maritime forests of live oaks, pines, palmettos, and magnolias. Into that backdrop, Fazio blended a par-72 layout that takes advantage of its setting. Ranked in Golf Digest's "Ameri...
The combination of length and accuracy demanded by this Jack Nicklaus design has led to its selection for several important championships including the Carolinas' Amateur, the Carolinas' PGA, the South Carolina Amateur and the 1990 PGA Cup Matches, the club professionals version of the Ryder Cup. Opened in 1981, Turtle Point is a low-profile design with fairways and green settings blended into the existing landscape. Nowhere is this more evident than along a specatular three-hole stretch woven t...
The Legends Resorts features three distinct designs on property. The par-71 Heathland, by Tom Doak, is known for its lack of trees and menacing winds. Doak modeled the course after the great seaside links of the British Isles such as Lahinch, Cruden Bay, and St. Anrdews. Although the fairways look wide and inviting from the tee, you'd better keep it straight as deep pot bunkers and thick rough await any wayward shot. In addition, your short game will be challenged by the undulating and well-guar...

The Legends Resorts features three distinct designs on property. Upon opening in 1990, P.B. Dye's Moorland Course was crowned one of the "Top Five New Public Courses in America" by Golf Digest. Much like P.B.'s father's design at PGA West, the target-style course features deep bunkers, multi-level greens, and Dye-signature bulkheads. This challenging design will confound and delight even the best of players....

Dye, was crowned one of the "Top Five New Public Courses in America" by Golf Digest and is most remembered for its deep bunkers, multi-level greens, and Dye-signature bulkheads.

Take a journey into South Carolina Low Country with a round on this Ron Garl design. The front side is typical Garl with tight fairways through huge oaks and stately pines. On the back, he'll take you to the banks of the Intracoastal Waterway where you'll be provided with outstanding panoramic views. At just over 6600 yards from the tips, The Links at Stono Ferry will give you a chance to use every shot in your bag....
This Jack Nicklaus design is considered one of the most difficult on the Grand Strand. This difficulty stems from the countless large manmade mounds which are particularly lethal near the green; several tricky par 3's, especially the #13 with an island green; many bottomless bunkers surrounding small Bermuda landing surfaces; and a striking horseshoe waste bunker on the #10 signature hole. Players consider #4 the most diffi
