Originally named The Pines at Myrtlewood, before the Arthur Hills redo in 1966. This used to be the better of the two courses here, but excessive condo development, aging conditions and the reworking of the Palmetto reduced this course to the runner-up here. In 1997 Golf Digest picked it as one of the “Top 10” layouts in Myrtle Beach. Built among young pines, it features 26 acres of water, several sharp doglegs, substantial mounding, numerous sand bunkers and undulating Tif Dwarf Bermuda greens. Designer Arthur Hills left several large trees in-play here, to add extra challenge to one’s shot-making abilities. Both Myrtlewood courses have special golf carts for mobility-impaired golfers that even allow driving on the greens without any negative impact. Their biggest asset is their friendly people, but they have a very bad habit of sneaking their members out in front of other scheduled groups.
