Top-10 golf courses in Myrtle Beach

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 Comments:

Pawley's Plantation is the only one on the list I remember playing; I might have played some of the others, but I don't know.
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.

I'm a little surprised Tiger's Eye at Ocean Ridge Plantation didn't make your top 10. But, to be fair, I haven't played even half of that list.

Where is Glen Dornoch and Oyster Bay? The Barefoot courses and Dunes wouldn't make my top choices. I'd rank them as follows:
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
I have played all the courses on your
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.
Here is my 2 cents on the top ten courses in MB.
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.
This is a good list. Don't think I'd put Kings North that high, and Glen Dornoch is growing on me -- I'd put that there instead of Rivers Edge -- but otherwise, I like it.
Your TPC comment is well-taken.
I'm kidding about Rivers Edge, of course -- I love that course
Also, I had my doubts about World Tour -- I'm not wild about replica courses either -- but for sheer fun, I felt it should be up there. Everyone I've talked to who's played it has enjoyed it.
