Golf Course Comments |
| This is the oldest
golf course in Myrtle Beach. The first president of the PGA, Robert
White, designed this golf course. Mr. White's Scottish heritage is
present throughout the golf course's design. "Sports Illustrated"
was founded here in the 1950's. Hole #7, a 175-yard, par 3,
was rated by "Golf Digest" as one of the America's most beautiful
holes. This club was the site of the 1988 National Golf Writers
Tournament and the site of the 1992 Du Pont World Amateur Handicap
Championship finals. Hole #10 has a plaque dedicating the hole
to the late Gene Sarazen, "for his outstanding contribution
to the game of golf and gracious support in behalf of Tara Hall,
home for boys." Mr. Sarazen scored a 78 on this golf course at the
age of 78. |
