Possum Trot at Possum Trot Golf Club

Possum Trot Golf Club sits in North Myrtle Beach, part of the Grand Strand's dense concentration of golf courses along South Carolina's northeastern coast. Designed by Russell Breedon and opened in 1968, the course represents the region's mid-century development period when affordable public and semi-private facilities proliferated to serve the area's growing golf tourism market. Breedon, a regional architect active primarily in the Carolinas during the 1960s and 1970s, worked within the coastal plain's characteristic flat-to-gently-rolling terrain and sandy soils.

The layout occupies land typical of the Grand Strand's inland courses, where natural pine forests and wetland areas frame fairways carved from the coastal landscape. The routing reflects the era's design conventions, with tree-lined corridors and water hazards that come into play on several holes. The course serves primarily as a daily-fee facility, catering to the steady stream of golfers visiting the Myrtle Beach area throughout much of the year.

Possum Trot functions as one of the region's many accessible options for visitors seeking variety during multi-round golf trips. The course maintains the straightforward character common to Grand Strand layouts from its era, offering a playable test without the dramatic elevation changes or coastal views found at courses closer to the Atlantic. It remains part of the area's extensive golf infrastructure, which has made the Myrtle Beach region one of the most visited golf destinations in the United States.
