I am heading there this week also. How are Man of War, The Witch and The Wizard.

I'll tack on to what others have said.

My father and I played MB about 6-7 years ago. We enjoyed our round at Man-O-War....it was our week opener. It was a decent course but nothing really that reached out and grabbed you. Our next round was at the Wizard. I thouroughly enjoyed this one. My ballstriking was spot on that week. You can pound the driver as was mentioned prior in this thread. There are some really interesting shots to well protected greens...water hazard carries nice bunkers...hills sides, etc. Both of us had just bought X14s and mine were treating me so nicely. The Wizard is a course that I'd play again....one that I'd like to start the week with. We didn't get a chance to play the Witch. Another course of note was the highly advertised (at the time anyway) Long Bay Club...one of Jack's layouts. I enjoyed the course, though not to the level of the Wizard. The greens were a bit shaggy and grainy when we played. I could see where some of the pin placements here could be impossible if the greens are rolling fast. I don't know that I'd play this one again.

If you are looking for a open starter course daly's wicked stick is nice and open. The witch is a great course also, played it a couple of years ago. You work your way thru bottoms and swamp. Makes for an interesting layout compared to most MB courses.

My faves have been Oyster Bay and Glen Dornoch, both just north of MB less than hour from The Legends where we stayed.

I found this resource today:

http://www.mbga.com/ (Myrtle Beach Golf Association)

Hit the link and click "course directory." These guys don't pull any punches. If a course stinks, they say it stinks. I haven't played around there but more information is better than less, I suppose, so hopefully this will be a help to you.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
