For the beyond 4 years, I have been invited to play a trinity of the pinnacle golfing courses in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as a part of the Mystical Golf Writer's Tournament; The Witch, Wizard and Man O' War.
This year, instead of this terrific event being held during our usual mid-October dates, Hurricane Matthew touched down from Florida through to North Carolina, causing harm to many golf courses along the Grand Strand and our tournament was reassigned...just in case. How were these three immaculately maintained golf courses affected or, were Mystical forces at work keeping them protected from harm?
Just after the typhoon, Claude Pardue, president and CEO of DG Golf Management which operates the Mystical trio of golf publications issued this announcement, "We didn?T suffer any significant harm, just a lost weekend inside the center of our season, however we can?T do something approximately that...".
A sigh of relief was elicited...whew, good news! I was off to see the Wizard once again!
While playing each golf course, I silently nodded my head in agreement with Mr. Pardue and, although there were a number of trees felled (cleared due to the amazing job done by the groundskeepers) on each golf course and there were some wet areas still in play, it appeared that all three courses were ready and waiting for the next sojourner to travel their creaky, meandering wooden paths.
Busy season re-begins in Myrtle Beach through Christmas as cities inside the north and west enjoy their first snowfall. When you are reserving your tee instances, right here are a few motives to consist of The Witch, Wizard and Man O'War in your go to to South Carolina's Grand Strand.
The Mystical Golf Courses have one-of-a-kind designs so that you may not become bored.
- The Witch Golf Course really comes through on its name - a peaceful eerieness surrounds golfers as they make their way through the forest riding on creaky bridges.
Designed to be playable from tee to inexperienced, you still have to hit a immediately shot, the bunkers are properly-positioned, the greens are unique than the Wizard and Man O' War (I believe they're Tift Dwarf). If you hit an amazing shot you're rewarded but watch out a mis-hit...It will fee you strokes.
My gambling companions study that this turned into alleged to be the easiest of the three publications however, despite the fact that we struggled a bit, all of us got here out with praise for its level of problem.
Be ware of the alligators which laze with the aid of the lakes and, if your golf ball lands near this kind of seemingly docile creatures, take a drop!
- The Wizard appeared to me to be the easiest for the three days. It is a links-style golf course, open, with rolling fairways but beware of the rough which is quite gnarly. Bentgrass greens are rolling yet playable and in great condition.
The direction is scenic and always in pristine shape (as are the alternative Mystical web sites). Definitely practice your placing before heading out for your round as the greens are speedy, complicated and unforgiving.
This tip from Mr. Pardue ought to convey you via as you make your way via each of the 3 Mystical Golf Courses - whilst you see problem, live far from it. Sounds like easy advice but how a lot of you will simply observe it when you encounter Dan Maples' "arsenal of weapons" inside every path format?
The "Magical Mystical Tour", as coined via Travel Industry Today, is in full swing during this time of yr, imparting exquisite tee time values. The Witch and Man O'War are indexed as two of the fifteen excellent guides in South Carolina, in line with Golf Advisor evaluations.
Staying in the Myrtle Beach vicinity for some days? The Witch, Wizard and Man O' War are centrally located so that you don't should travel huge distances when staying at the Grand Strand; all 3 courses are positioned near every different with The Wizard and Man O'War actually sharing a lake. All three have separate club houses and centers but it is best to understand that, in case you aren't a neighborhood, you'll easily find those three gem stones.
Thank you over again on your hospitality Claude Pardue and exceptional regards to The Breakers Resort for the delicious food and attentive staff provider. To all three Mystical Golf Courses and to their dedicated team of workers of ground group and control (Tim, Graham and Randy), thank you for maintaining the fairways and veggies in such splendid form.
