Bill-That sounds about right. I am just trying to see if anyone can actually explain why the architecture is superior to your generic Myrtle course.
Mike, the rap on Myrtle Beach golf, with some exceptions, is that it's flat, featureless, weak designs for golfers more interested in price than quality, and generally boring.

MB has as at least as many decent public venues as most 70 mile non-links strips of land. MB is no longer a cut rate low cost destination, although it does still offer that. These courses may not be world beaters and are not cheap, but provide a decent enough two weeks of golf without getting bored. They aren't Friars Head, but here are 20 MB courses off the top of my head that I would play again. From South to North:Caldeonia (Strantz)True Blue (Strantz)Willbrook (Maples)Founders ClubTPCPrestwick (Dye)Moorland (PB Dye)Heathland (Doak)Wildwing (Brauer)Dunes Club (RT Jones)Grande Dunes (Rulewich)TidewaterBarefoot DyeBarefoot LoveBarefoot FazioOyster Bay (Maples)Tigers Eye (Cate)Leopards Chase (Cate)Rivers Edge (Palmer)There is a hole at Moorland (which is hardly a boring, featurelsees layout) named after Hell's Half Acre
What would you say to a guy who says: “Friars Head reminds me of a golf course that would be in Myrtle Beach”?
