Not long ago, I did a story on what I believed to be the top-10 courses in Myrtle Beach. It was based on personal observation after many trips there, and input from golfers and pros. The story got a lot of responses, and I’m wondering what you readers think.
Here’s my list:
1 - Barefoot Resort, Davis Love course
2 - Tidewater
3 - Caledonia
4 - Rivers Edge
5 - Barefoot Resort, Pete Dye course
6 - The Dunes Golf and beach Club
7 - True Blue
8 - Grand Dunes Golf and beach Club
9 - World Tour Golf Links
10 - Pawleys Plantation

I agree with your assessment, though. PP is a very nice Nicklaus designed course. The feature that struck me the most, and I think this is typical of Nicklaus' courses, was the difficulty of the greens. I thought they had a lot of subtle breaks and undulations.
1)River's Edge
2)Glen Dornoch
3)True Blue
4)Tidewater
5)Pawley's Plantation
6)Tiger's Eye
7)Caledonia
8)Oyster Bay
9)Heritage
10)King's North
list and agree with most of your choices.
My personal top 10 would be.....
1. Tidewater
2. Barefoot/Fazio
3. The Dunes
4. Caledonia
5. Barefoot/Love
6. River's Edge
7. Grande Dunes
8. True Blue
9. Oyster Bay
10. Heritage
I am playing King's North in 2 weeks so
maybe my list will change.
Marsh Harbour {RIP}
Ocean Harbour {RIP}
8. True Blue
9. Oyster Bay
10.
1.)Caledonia
2.)Tidewater
3.)TPC of Myrtle Beach
4.)Tiger's Eye
5.)True Blue
6.)MB National King's North
7.)Dunes Club
8.)Barefoot-Fazio
9.)Heritage
10.)River's Edge
I will not include World tour as it is not an original design. Nor would I place Grand dunes in there, I think it is a little over rated. The Love course at Barefoot has it's moments but not top ten.
No one included the TPC are you guys nuts. This is a must on any Myrtle Beach top course list.
Your TPC comment is well-taken.
