Next week will be our first MB golf trip. Already have Caledonia booked for Saturday and The Ocean Course @ Kiawah Island for Monday. For Sunday we are debating between Tidewater and Grand Dunes - Resort Course. Which course would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I prefer Grande Dunes - if you are in that area i would say see about getting the Dunes Club as it is better then either one of the others. IMO

the Ocean course is a great round of golf as well, think about taking a change of cloths and having dinner there as well.

Where do you recommend dining at?

We've had these dining recommendations for Charleston: Cypress, Magnolias, and 82 Queen …thoughts?

Thanks for the advice. We decided to give Tidewater a try on Sunday. Caledonia Saturday and The Ocean Course on Monday. Might sneak in a round before our flight on Tuesday but we'll see. Hopefully the weather is decent, although, coming from MN anything will feel better than our below zero temps.

~~Wachesaw  - I could be mistaken, but I believe that the LPGA had an event at that course many years ago - I once saw Annika and Laura Davies play in their heyday -  of course, they played from the "up" tees -seemed like every par 4 was 360 yds..... .my favorite course, and really representative of the area was Tidewater. Really scenic and enjoyable round of golf.

We played at the Legends earlier this year.  Oyster Bay, Heritage Club, Moorland,  other rounds rained out :(

Legends has a little pub called the Ailse if your staying there.  Staff was great at the pub and put up with our rowdy group...  Courses were great.  Heritage was my favorite of the 3 we played, though many said it was Oyster Bay.

Barefoot also had some great courses, Fazio, Love, Dye Club, Norman Course...  Love and Dye club were my two favorite there.

Big Cat Courses: , Tigers eye, Lions Paw, Cougar Chase (wait, that wasn't a golf course that was after the rounds), Leopards Chase...  Again, all good courses, but I liked Barefoot and Legends better...

I would rank them Legends, Barefoot, Big Cat.....  but if your in Myrtle beach, you're not going to mess it up but so bad...  All the courses are good, and it beats being at home or work.

EATS:  I can't think of the name of it but there is a Brazilian steakhouse that is all you can eat awesomeness...  might be Rio's or Rioz I can't remember...

In the bag:  R1 Diver, Rocketballz 3 tour spoon (13*), Adams A12 pro 18* hybrid, 4-P Callaway Razr x black (dg s400 shafts), 50* & 58* Ping Tour S, and TM Ghost Manta Putter cut down to 32". and my Tour V2 Rangefinder (with extra batteries of course)!  Ball - Srixon Z Star XV

I thought Tidewater was overrated. I agree with previous poster and think the Barefoot courses and Legend courses were very good. Caledonia is a must play but be sure to play True Blue or the Heritage when you are out on Pawley's island. The guys planning trips for 36 holes a day better be sure to plan your courses geographically. Caledonia is 54 miles from Oyster Bay

I liked the Legends courses as well. Played the 3 that are onsite and pretty nice courses. Slow rounds though. Really...painfully...slow....rounds. They have some decent deals too. Me and my wife went up. 3 nights, 4 days for around $1K I believe. 3 rounds, breakfast buffet on site, all the range balls you want, free lunch voucher with 2 drinks. Not bad.

Blackmoor was great experience...designed by Mr. Gary Player

Litchfield also very nice

Not familiar with the others

My friend and I will have our 20th trip to Myrtle Beach this coming fall, so we've pretty much played them all.  (At least any you'd want to play.)

I would skip Wicked Stick, pretty boring course.  Oddly enough seemed to play really short, which ran counter to the whole John Daly "grip it and rip it" theme.

Wachesaw and Litchfield are pleasant enough and a good value, but won't blow you away.

Tidewater has 3 or 4 of the most stunning holes in the whole Myrtle Beach area, but the part of the course that goes through the woods is very standard fare.  Still, the few amazing holes it does have are awesome enough that I recommend it to those that haven't played there before.

Blackmoor is better-than-average, but has a couple of "goofy golf" type holes that detract from the overall experience.

You should have asked before you booked.

I didn't book them, so I didn't have any input on which ones we played.  Just got back, had a great time, though some of the courses were not in the best condition.

Blackmoor - As @scerpico22 stated this is a Gary Player course.  It was a nice course but the greens were covered in tree buds and not rolled which made putting time consuming and painful.

Wicked Stick - A John Daly course, the fairways were wide open as it's an out and back course.  A few signature water holes made it interesting but the greens were diseased and in very poor shape.  Definitely the worst of the courses we played.

Litchfield - fun course, fairways and greens were in very good shape.  A fair amount of water and woods to ensure you kept the ball on or very near the fairway.  The greens were in good shape but very inconsistent in terms of stimp.

Wachesaw East - Former LPGA tournament location as @Rick Martin shared.  Course was in great shape, greens were fast.  Not an overly difficult course if you practiced course management.  If you like to grip it and rip it, there was plenty of water and woods to hit into.

Would rank them; 1) Litchfield   2) Wachesaw East    3) Blackmoor    4) Wicked Stick

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
