Tidewater has been called by some the &#8220;<strong>Pebble Beach of the East Coast<\/strong>.&#8221; \u00a0The course is located on the Northern end of the Grand Strand and is tucked between Cherry Grove and the Intracoastal Waterway. \u00a0\u00a0This expansive layout stretches over 5 miles from the #1 tee box to the green at #18 and back to the clubhouse yet the course only measures 7,044 yards from the Championship (Black) Tees.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1749\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a

id=\"caption-attachment-1749\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 12th hole at Tidewater is a challenging par 3 that plays 189 yards from the Championship tees with more times than not has an ocean breeze directly in your face.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>The average golfer will not be able to score well here due to<\/strong> difficulty of the greens, deep bunkers, and prevailing coastal winds that swirl throughout the property. \u00a0However the<strong> GPS on the carts<\/strong> does help the golfers navigate the course with a bit more ease. \u00a0My three fellow golfers found it to be very helpful. \u00a0The risk reward holes for the more advanced golfers can make this course play shorter than normal and with the wide open fairways on most of the par 4&#8217;s gives the more accurate golfer a better chance to score a good number.<\/p>\n<p>I have to give a shout out to one of the guys in our foursome. \u00a0Rich Bartram, Director of Marketing for Barefoot Resort, is a good friend and a great golfer. \u00a0 He cut me on a skin on the par 5 number 8 hole. \u00a0He stuck his second shot to inside 2 feet and went on to sink his Eagle putt. \u00a0Rich can really hit the long ball when he wants to and I think has too much time on his hands to practice.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1748\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a
