Arcadian Shores Golf Club
Course Sections
Course Overview
Nestled in the heart of Myrtle Beach, Arcadian Shores Golf Club is a test of precision and strategy, reflective of its 1974 design by Rees Jones. Known for its integration into the natural lowcountry landscapes, the course demands a thoughtful approach, blending risk with opportunity.
The layout offers a variety of challenges, notably the second holeβa sharp dogleg right, par-5. Guarded by bunkers on either side, it requires a carefully placed tee shot to set up any chance of reaching the green in regulation. Equally demanding is the thirteenth, a scenic par-3 that spans water to a bunker-encircled green, testing both nerve and accuracy.
For newcomers, a key tip is to favor accuracy over power. The course's narrow fairways and significant water hazards can punish the overly ambitious. Strategic play and careful club selection, especially when the coastal wind picks up, can help in navigating this well-maintained course more effectively.
Arcadian Shores is more than just a golfing challenge; itβs a staple of Myrtle Beachβs rich golfing tapestry, having hosted numerous amateur and professional tournaments. Seasoned by history yet unforgiving in play, it offers a round that is as rewarding as it is demanding.
