Historic Pine Lakes in Myrtle Beach is history, will re-open in 2008
You say you’ve always wanted to play historic Pine Lakes International Country Club, the granddaddy of golf in Myrtle Beach, but never got around to it?
Well, it’s too late, at least in its original layout. The course has closed for a dramatic renovation and won’t open til the Fall of 2008.
Despite significant opposition from locals, owners Burroughs & Chapin has gone ahead with its plan for redeveloping the area. The course will change dramatically, with new routing and additional holes being added.
Plans call for 200 new home sites and a “limited number of townhomes” according to course officials.
I’m assuming the starter will still wear a kilt.

Was it that good a course to begin with? I did not get the chance to play it. Did read about it, though, in those novels about the fictional female touring pro.

Yes, the course was good. A nice, old architectural layout. Fun to play, made you work the ball a little instead of just slug it. This is a perfect example of a developer not giving a rat's a.. about golf. The integrity of B&C has always been in question.
