Colonial Charters has reopened earlier than expected this week. And Founders Club is suppose to reopen at mid-to late August according a spokesperson of the company: https://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/sports/golf/article244593102.html
FGI is doing the right thing during this time of coronavirus.

Don’t really mind about Colonial Charters, but glad about Founders Club for those who can go in the Myrtle Beach area and make the most of it!

It makes sense what is happening at Col Charters, to keep the course
open for budget locals golf. FGI is probably sorry they bought it, so
happy to help sell it to a golf business.
It made sense to mothball some less busy/popular courses, when golf trips
were cancelled due to CV. Founders is a decent course for the price, as long
as the conditions are good. It also has some interesting holes.
It hasn't been popular due to things like waste areas, road crossings,
some tightness, some blind shots. Maybe they need to soften some of the
holes, grass in some waste areas, use real cart paths, etc, but it's probably
not worth spending the $ there.

Founder's reminds me more of a Pinehurst or Sandhills of NC course. When it is in good shape it is a good place to play. Tough course as well. I also think it hurts because it is pretty far south and it is surrounded by some heavy weights like Caledonia, Pawleys, True Blue, Heritage, TPC, etc. There are not many duds on the south end so, it has some things going against it. I enjoy playing there though.
I tend to agree with you Denis. Colonial Charters is away of my radar.

I would rather play Indigo Creek. hhahaaa
Colonial Charters is a mishmash of a golf course. Actually has a couple good holes on it but not worth playing if any other course is available. Takes a very long time to get to the 10th tee.
Golf is just an excuse to drink whiskey and smoke cigars

Ditto, and once was enough for Indigo and I lean towards budget golf.

I like a budget course ever now and again. They are getting harder to find in the grand strand.
It's always good when a course stays open, especially for one in neighborhoods like Colonial Charters which depend on the course to maintain property values. Just look at what has happened in the Deerfield community since those courses closed. What once were beautiful homes, now many are in disrepair and put a stain on the neighborhood in general with overgrown snake invested back yards.
Most likely prudent to not purchase home on golf course in the Myrtle Beach area. After a few bad winters and Covid, you don't know which course in next for closure.
Definitely need to be careful when you purchase and I always warn my clients of that if they are interested in a home in one of those communities.
