Eight seniors playing.
Any feedback on recent course conditions?
I expect Grande Dunes to be good as usual, haven't played Arrowhead and I know King's North just had a renovation.
Any tips or things to look out for? 
Will post a Trip Report afterwards.

After staying at a few places, we found Island Resort 6000 North Ocean blvd in Myrtle Beach. Great resort and recommend highly. I have only played once and that was at The River Club. Overall conditions were good, greens rolled true. As a twosome the starter got us out early and saved us a least 45 minutes! All staff from bag drop, pro shop, and on course crew, very welcoming. I have a couple of tee times this week and will report.

I have been going since the 80s, and have played most of the courses over time, but that was during the summer months.  I have only been a few times in October.  A couple we have looked into are Legends Heathland & World Tour, and Crow Creek was under consideration until I read some reviews noting that their greens really do not recover from the summer heat until November.  (I believe Art mentioned this in his fall 2024 review)

We are definitely open to suggestions, advice, etc.

Thanks so much!

Coming down to M.B. for the annual golf trip on Wednesday. 

Am looking to play as a single on Wednesday and Thursday before the guys trip begins. 

Does anyone know if course conditions at Tiger's Eye, Leopards Chase, Glendornoch or River's Edge are good ?

I would like to play either 2 or 3 rounds on Wednesday and Thursday combined..and wondering if I should avoid any of these courses if they aren't in good shape.

I was thinking of getting the Myrtle Beach passport. I can see the courses but none of the green fees? Is this card any good? Thanks

But with that renovation it looks like Pawleys has tried to improve the quality of the course.  And TPC courses are normally top notch and we would like to give TPC a second chance.  

What would you all recommend?

]]> Golf Course Q&A BNLongdriver https://myrtlebeachgolftalk.com/community/mb-course-advice/2024-summer-aerification-dates/ 5 Reasons TO overseed or NOT TO overseed? https://myrtlebeachgolftalk.com/community/mb-course-advice/5-reasons-to-overseed-or-not-to-overseed/ Wed, 26 Jul 2023 16:16:55 +0000 Top Five Reasons To Overseed
  1. By far the biggest benefit to overseeding is appearance. The green ryegrass with sharply defined stripes provides a “wow factor” that can’t be reproduced with warm-season turf, even with colorants.
  2. Overseeded ryegrass absorbs golf cart and maintenance traffic – helping to maintain turf cover during winter months.
  3. Overseeded ryegrass recovers from play. When temperatures are conducive for ryegrass growth, fairways will see divot recovery with overseeded ryegrass that would not occur with dormant bermudagrass.
  4. Ryegrass performs better than bermudagrass in shaded areas.
  5. Low areas perform better and are drier with overseeded ryegrass compared to dormant bermudagrass.

Top Five Reasons Not To Overseed

  1. The top reason for not overseeding is a tough call because there are many, but I’m going to go with increasing the consistency of playing conditions. Not overseeding means no multiweek disruption to golf in the fall and no bare ground and awkward transition in the early summer. A non-overseeded golf course provides more good playing days per year than an overseeded golf course.
  2. Not overseeding saves money! Many courses are spending over $100,000 for seed alone, not to mention other inputs to germinate and mature the ryegrass.
  3. Not overseeding saves water! Eliminating overseeding can save from 1.5 to 2 acre feet of water per acre per year depending on the course location.
  4. With no ryegrass, labor for mowing and fertilizing can be redistributed to other tasks.
  5. Not overseeding allows for more weed control options, especially for Poa annua control.
