The wife and I are taking a little trip over Thanksgiving break to play a couple rounds in Myrtle Beach. Looking for one course that is really nice and don't care about cost and one that is fun to play and is in the moderate price range. Not looking for anything ridiculously tough but at least challenging. We are staying in central MB but are willing to drive.

Just booked the Dunes....played the Legends courses a  couple years ago and don't really want to go through another 5+ hour round of golf. Looking for one more fun one that might be a little less crowded.

Myrtle Beach National - Kings North course is a great option too. Arnold Palmer design, has an island par 3, and a par 5 with an island fairway option too

I'm going to Myrtle Beach in a few weeks. Going to get out and play golf once, and I want to play a Mike Strantz course. Between True Blue and Caledonia, what's the better option? Tagging @coachjimscbecause I know he lives somewhat near that area.

Hey Daniel, 

I unfortunately have never played either one of those courses. But from what I have heard Caledonia is the one to play.

Both are good, Caledonia is much more of a traditional look, True Blue is more like Tobacco Road in the Low Country terrain.  If you want the more Strantz-y experience, True Blue is the way to go.  I like the Strantz courses, but I'd pick Caledonia.  But I get to play TR fairly regularly.

I heard Caledonia is having some trouble with a few greens. Supposedly, they are getting better, but you might want to check before you go. Also, a lot of courses punch bermuda greens early to mid June, so you need to check on that, too.

Thank you for both tips. I saw some online reviews mentioning damaged greens on Caledonia, so I will have to be aware of that. And I’ll check on whether the greens are going to be punched, too.

Caledonia is very, very good. True Blue is just "good." 🙂 You can't go wrong with either, but I prefer Caledonia.

    • 12 July 25 - Got invited to a Sat morning round with some friends.  Was a decent round - sort of a pre-tournament round for the 1st of Aug.  Best play of the day - lost ball off the tee on 7.  Took the drop, hit 3rd onto the green, missed the par putt by 3 inches short - middle of cup.  Was a good bogie recovery.  Learned a valuable lesson - the wedge is your friend, the collars on the greens are just long enough that they kill the putter (unless you hammer it).  Back to more of those nice chip and roll drills. &nbsp
    • Day 357: played 27 holes. +6 total - pretty pleased. Only negative was missing the hole 3 times from within 4 feet…
    • Day 1: 7/12/25 exactly 60 minutes of chipping practice. Unlikely to be able to practice very much but sure had a blast today!
    • Didn't score better, but made better swings on the course today. I found a bit of success on range pre-round, just hitting like what felt like 60-70% shots. It was more right elbow and right wrist angles in the downswing. Driver took a bit to work out the giant toe push draws I was hitting.
    • Played in the first round of Shawnee Hills  course tournament. went 42+46. Just lost energy on the back nine.  Lots of pars and way too many big scores. Course has a lot of areas to lose a golf ball. This is the adjusted score.  I had to return to the tee twice. The first the guy I played with didn’t tell me my ball bounced into the trees behind the green. 😡 the 2nd one I hit a decent draw over the corner of a slight dog leg left. I didn’t know 15-20 yards from the fairways was nasty weeds. I also 4 putted and 3 putted a few times. I flubbed like two chips. Too long of backswing.  I was happy with my ball striking. Probably B-. Found a bit of something on the range before the round. I’m starting to actually feel my right arm position better with what I am working on. I striped some irons today.
