elcome to “The Ultimate Coastal Golf Experience”! As you spend the next few moments ingesting the eye candy, allow your mind to wander - because what you see is what you can truly have! After all, there are more than 100 magnificent golf courses to choose from and each course has been designed to enhance the natural beauty of the terrain while protecting the local habitat and indigenous wildlife. It all began back in the mid to late 20’s with the Ocean Forest Country Club (now Pine Lakes Country Club). When the Ocean Forest Hotel and Country Club was constructed, a 27- hole golf course was also built. The course was designed by St. Andrews (Scotland) native Robert White, who went on to become the first president of the PGA of America and a co-founder of the American Society of Golf Course Architects. This was the starting point of Myrtle Beach’s growth as a world class golf and vacation destination. “The Ultimate Coastal Golf Experience” will allow you to access some of the most strikingly beautiful and technically challenging golf courses in the “Golf Capital of the World.” It includes two of the Big Cat’s premier golf courses at Ocean Ridge Plantation, Leopard’s Chase and Tiger’s Eye, as well as several more “notables,” such as Thistle, Tidewater, The Legends and Founders Club of Pawley’s Island, to name a few. This illustrious coastline extends from Wilmington, NC to Pawley’s Island, SC and includes layouts created by the esteemed and legendary trio of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, as well as internationally acclaimed architects that include Robert Trent Jones, Pete Dye, Greg Norman and Tim Cate. Included in this great golfing escape is the mesmerizing Brunswick Isles Golf Trail. The Trail is a collection of more than twenty prestigious, award winning golf courses that stretch out
along the spectacular Carolina coastline. Indulge in some of the most remarkable settings while enjoying majestic designs that exude quality and immaculate conditioning. Whether you prefer links style golf, pure parkland layouts or courses with dramatic elevation changes and rugged terrain, The Trail has it all and the choice is simply yours! Besides world class golf, there are no less than sixty miles of pristine beaches along the Carolina coast that offer calming and relaxing late afternoons under a signature Carolina sunset. After you have played eighteen, we suggest that you sit back, relax with a beverage of choice and enjoy the captivating sights and sounds of the ocean waves as they rush the shoreline under a palette of brilliant colorful skies that transform day into night.
