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.

My bag:

Taylor Made R7 (x-stiff).
Taylor Made Burner 2 irons (stiff)
Cleveland Wedges (gap and 60)
Odyssey two ball putter (white)

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.

      2-man Ambrose V 1-man Playing Best of 2 Balls

      By trapper2000 ·

      ..maybe 1 shot HC change might be a good starting point..

      2-man Ambrose V 1-man Playing Best of 2 Balls

      By trapper2000 ·

      Yeah, I have a similar view. I was in the team of 2 and we got down 5 after 5. Get 1 pt if win the hole - whatever that game is called. We lost it 3 down with 2 to play so almost saved it. After the first hole when the single did a putt, then dropped a second ball, made a slight adjustment and sunk it, we thought it wasn't right. We couldn't do anything with handicaps etc so we just made them wait between putts - usually just one of us to putt. We were a 23 and 25 handicappers (probably playing to about 28) and the single was a 16 handicapper, but somehow had a HC of 20 (so that is 1 HC pt already). In terms of making it fair, and changing HC (HC1 + HC2 / 4), I think maybe adding 2 HCs to the double (or taking 2 HC off the single (after the adding and div by 4) might make it fair. Also maybe making a rule that the single couldn't change clubs for the second hit. Hard to say from that one game but possibly: - 2 shot HC adding - can't change clubs for second shot - need to have other team putt in between their 2 putts   Not sure. Do you think you'd still win or have these rules made it unfair the other way? Cheers for thoughts..
