October 2012: Top 10 golf courses in Myrtle Beach

Clubhouse at Tiger's Eye golf course

I want to start with concerns for our golfing friends in the northeast. I have talked to several golfers that were in the path of Hurricane Sandy and I hope that everything and everyone gets back to normal sooner than later. Fortunately, the hurricane avoided the Golf Capital of the World, and we were very lucky as the “Frankstorm” stayed out in the Atlantic Ocean.

Again, I wish everyone a speedy recovery from the Hurricane.

Moving on to why we are here, the top 10 golf courses in Myrtle Beach for October 2012.  Last month the Legends Heathland course made its debut in the top 10, however it did not last long.  We have another new comer to the top 10 golf courses in Myrtle Beach and very little movement with the other top ranked courses.

1)  Caledonia Golf & Fish Club – Ranked the top golf course in Myrtle Beach for four straight months. The only golf course in Myrtle Beach to be ranked in the top ten for twenty months.

2) Tidewater Golf & Plantation – Closing in on #1 Caledonia, behind by only a few points. Ranked in the top 10 twelve times but never making it to #1.

3) Dunes Golf & Beach Club – #3 for the second consecutive month, one of the few courses in Myrtle Beach that has an Ocean View.  Ranked in the top 10, nineteen months only missing out in January 2012.

4) True Blue Golf Plantation – Holding at #4 the “Big Brother” of Caledonia has been ranked in the top 10 for 15 months.
