Short trip report.
Just want to add my two cents after coming here for years, the message board is an invaluable source of information over the years.
After playing the south end of the strand on our past trip we decided to head north towards the Calabash area. Our Airbnb was in Cherry Grove and each course was no more then a 20 min drive.
Afternoon round at THISTLE. Course was in good shape and was packed upon arrival. They really did a good job with the clubhouse and it was a notable step above the other courses we played. Really could have hung out another hour two after the round. There was 6 in our group, so they broke us up 3 and 3. We played in 4 hours flat. Very solid and fair track.
GLEN DORNOCH was up next and they were not kidding about the three finishing holes. Unfortunately we started on the back nine first, so the wow factor was definitely not the same on the front nine. I think #16 (although crazy difficult) might be my favorite hole in Myrtle. You just don’t see the elevation from the tee box looking down to the intercoastal. You def need your A game to score well here.
Finally we played THE PEARL. I forget which 9’s we played but the entire group felt that the greens were the best here compared to the other courses we played. Very affordable solid track with an interesting mix of holes. Could be a bit of an under the radar course that does not get a lot of noise, but definitely consider it if you are in the area.
