Played this weekend in a little tournament at Myrtle Beach. If anyone is going anytime during the summer I would highly recommend checking out Heather Glen (we played the red and blue courses 71.3/133). The course is in unbelievable shape right now. Nice plush fairways and the greens are smooth as glass. The greens putted a little slower than I expected but they rolled so good it was unreal. This was by far the best course we played.

We played a practice round at Southcreek @ Myrtle Beach National (69.4/124). It was also in really good shape. It is a pretty short course, but plays really tight and makes you place the ball to get good shots at the green. A good challenging course.

We played the final round at Sandpiper Bay in Sunset Beach, NC (we played the piper and bay courses 69.7/121). This course was also in overall excellent shape. The greens were the fastest we played but they were a bit bumpy and made it difficult to hole long putts. The greens are frickin' huge so long putts were a plenty.

Overall good weekend of golf. It was hot as hades, but no rain or afternoon storms.

SC,
I will be in MB third week August, staying in Surfside Beach w/ family. I will have two mid-week golf days for myself. I was perusing some websites which post prices and descriptions.
Tell me, if you know, which courses I can expect to be in decent shape mid August:
Arrowhead -$65
Blackmoor $55
Whispereing Pines - $42/ $10jr.
Litchfield -$54
Heron Point $48
Int'l Club - $46
Other recommendations?
Thanks,
Coach

Thanks Clem,
I was thinking about HG, and really have not thought about World Tour, though I expect rates to be a bit higher. That's ok, I will check it out.

Coach,

Just got back from MB this weekend. Many of the courses have just aerated their greens, so should be in good shape by mid-August unless the heat and drought get to them. I played Wachesaw East (just south of Surfside) a couple of times. It was in great shape. Passed by Indian Wells and it was looking good. Wicked Stick had just aerated their greens and was running a $28 special.

Good luck in August. MB can be brutally hot in July and August.:beach3:

Here's a link to a site that rates courses Myrtle Beach Golf Association - The Basement

Might give you some ideas.

Edited because Deer Track is closed. It was Indian Wells that was looking good.
