Played Long Bay, Blackmoor, The Witch and had a great time, we are
looking for more quality courses to visit from the massive choice.
Maybe T.P.C. & The Wizard, which courses would rank as must plays?

Thanks! I checked those two out and they are both on our revised list,
I read that a mini crisis is hitting Myrtle Beach Golf does this mean
courses are cutting back on maitenance and are other Golf destinations
suffering in this way?

No. The mini-crisis is because up to 20 golf courses have closed in the
past 2-3 years. This means golf fees and membership fees have risen, and
the course owners no longer give a rats about locals down here. Members are
finding it harder to get favorable tee times, since the tee times are taken
up by the packages. That should ease up a bit after Easter. But most
courses are in great shape now.

The TPC lost their greens (again). They might be closed for upgrade. Better
check first. C'mon down to True Blue and Caledonia in Pawleys Island.
Great shape. But ask if they are top dressing the greens. It's that time
of year again, and they don't usually volunteer that information.

The TPC is open, I played it Saturday afternoon. I'm not sure I would
catagorize it as "fun" however - brutal in places and S L O W -
1:50-something tee time, didn't get out until 2:20 or so. Finished on #9
(started on the back) at 7:15 in the gloom.
Played the Legends - Parkland, Heathland, Moorland. Parkland is nice to get
warmed up on. Moorland really is fun to play, don't remember a lot about
Heathland because of the 20mph wind and 50-something weather that made it
painful. Heritage - what a pretty course. Myrtle Beach National: West
Course - fairways like a muni but with impossible greens - wouldn't play it
again. Kings North - quite a challenge (but my highlight was an Eagle on
10) so despite a ugly scorecard - I can't be unhappy with the course ;-)

Wizard and TPC are both fun...also love Tidewater, Hether Glen and, as
some near-carnival golf, Brick Landing.
