The joy of Myrtle Beach golf
I just returned from a four-day golf fest in Myrtle Beach, the so-called golf capital of the world. I was hoping to blog about all four courses we played while down there, but limited internet connection kept that from being possible. Instead, I will just urge every golfer to find the time for a Myrtle Beach excursion, and suggest that two courses for any must-play list are Tidewater and Kings North.
Because my golf game is rusty from the winter lay-off, I did not play especially well down in Myrtle Beach. But the weather and the courses were so nice, I still felt like I was in golf heaven. Indeed, I would not be troubled if the afterlife simply involved having unlimited time and money to play the 100+ courses that the Myrtle Beach area has to offer.
I could go on, but instead I would like to hear from readers about some of their favorite Myrtle Beach courses.

I agree with you on Tidewater. Arrowhead CC is another great course in the area. I have been to Myrtle Beach four consecutive years and have played over 25 course in the area. Hopefully before I can't play golf anylonger, I can make all 100+ at The Beach. This year I was lucky enough to get 17 rounds in just over 9 and 1/2 days. That will most likely be the last time I get such a golf fest, but I already am making plans for next year. Myrtle Beach is a must do for any golfer
You need to try the Love and Fazio courses at Barefoot Landing Golf Resort in N. Myrtle Beach. Wonderful tracks and the clubhouse is beautiful.
I plan an annual trip every year with my foursome, and have yet to do the Myrtle Beach run, although it is definitely on the short list. This year's trip starts next weekend, and will be in the Windy City, where Cog Hill, Medinah, and Kemper are included. Plus, with some connections, we will get a few other private courses in including Shore Acres.
I felt Douglas' pain, heading on a golf trip rusty, but living in California, I have had plenty of opportunity to give myself a false sense of confidence going into next week. 7 days, 12 rounds, and worn out hands by the end of the week. Looking forward to it.
Hope Power Fade got to play some other courses in the Chicago area besides Cog, Medinah and Kemper, which are all over rated and vastly inferior to what I consider the top 5 courses in Chicago--Chicago Golf Club, Shoreacres, Butler, Beverly and Black Sheep.
