Long Bay Club near Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

LONGS, S.C. -- Long Bay Club on the north end of the Grand Strand is a formidable golf course that all comes down to getting the ball on the green, hopefully near the pin. Shots up to that point are relatively easy.

It's an impressive golf course with many holes to remember, from the peninsula 10th to a nearly island green and a lot of bunkers, long rough and undulations along the way. Long Bay is a golf course you'll want to master, no matter how long it takes.
