Mike Strantz doesn’t miss. Fantastic course undulating interesting greens not a boring hole on the course. Tougher than True Blue across the street. Big oaks with Spanish Moss complete the classic look. Got a great winter deal in Jan.

…not a fan of a hole with a long forced carry on the last hole. Long distance between holes Unorganized Parking Lot Bag Drop area seemed not very functional ability and starting holes across the street causes confusion

Hard to imagine having more fun on a golf course. If you Like Mike Strantz designs you’ll love this. Huge greens great pin placements. Almost a completely different course each time you play it.

One of my favorite on the Barefoot Campus in Myrtle Beach. Open layout but fairway sloping gets you into some horrific angles if you catch a bad bounce. Whole Barefoot Resort is a tad pricy but I feel you gotta play at least 1 I’d you’re down there

Overall the course conditions were adequate. Greens were in excellent shape with moderate speed. Not sure the value is there for the price. Positive was we played in 3:30 total.

The renovation a few years ago made it wide open and it plays like an old-school test. Some absolutely brutal par 4’s and a ton of really fun mid and long iron shots. Easy pars and hard birdies.
