THE BALD HEAD ISLAND EXPERIENCE

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

With a special invite to play the Bald Head Island Club last week, the Bald Head Island experience is a special treat for a special few. Many golfers that visit the area have never even heard of this exclusive private club located in the Atlantic Ocean and about one hour north of North Myrtle Beach, SC. Accessible only by passenger ferry or private boat. With no cars allowed on the Island only golf carts, Bald Head Island preserves the natural beauty with 14 miles of pristine beaches, thousands of acres of protected salt marshes, and a spectacular expanse of maritime forest. Myrtle Beach golf at its best! These qualities make Bald Head Island a one-of-a-kind destination. With a slope rating of 137 from the men’s tees and 113 from the women’s, the George Cobb design which opened in 1974, wraps around freshwater lagoons, through a maritime forest with wild life of all kinds, and across dunes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The modern clubhouse and golf shop feature a variety of men’s and women’s apparel and equipment, swimming, tennis, and croquet are just a few of the amenities.

Indian Wells Golf Club

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

I was invited to play Indian Wells by the Classic Golf Group this past week and i have to tell I was very impressed on the course. Although it was a rainy day, the golf course was in great shape and the greens were excellent. Its easy to understand how Indian Wells won the 2004 Myrtle Beach Golf Course of the year award along with the Customer Service and Hospitality Award by the Myrtle Beach Golfing News.

A very challenging Gene Hamm design measuring 6600+ from the tips, has four sets of tees and awards players with accuracy. Indian Wells Golf club with its newly renovated clubhouse, offers an unusual blend of Hole #9, (a 410 yard par 4), has been named to the “Grand Strand’s Dream 18″. A special thanks to the staff of the Classic Golf Group and the staff of Indian Wells.
