Blackmoor Golf Club 4 '13

Today we played the Blackmoor Golf Club,which is the only course in the Myrtle Beach area designed by legendary golfer and architect Gary Player, a former Grand Slam winner. This course was built on the historic Longwood Plantation, whose heritage as a successful antebellum rice plantation on Waccamaw River. It features lakes, moss-draped oaks, pines, and cypress.You will be sure to see wild turkeys, alligators, and other wildlife during your play here.  The tranquil atmosphere and beautiful scenery will put you face-to-face with the best that nature has to offer.  Blackmoor was recently voted the Strands Golf Course of the Year, and for good reason!

Gary Player used every natural land asset he was given when designing this course. From the historical cemetery incorporated on the 13th hole, to the low elevation and swampland, every feature he found was used to create a golfing gem. Blackmoor features a course rating of 71.1 and is home to some of the area's most challenging and creatively designed holes

Taking advantage of the natural terrain and vistas with its undulations.  Blackmoor provides golfers a unique opportunity for golfers to use every club in their bags and try shots they don't normally get the chance to do, such as bump-and-run. Featuring plenty of risk-reward opportunities, Blackmoor is a fun course because it offers golfers of all ages and abilities a friendly but true test of their games. With a layout that rewards finesse over strength, Blackmoor features narrow fairways with lots of  tight doglegs and water hazards and sand traps that call for precision over raw power. But those who play it smart can put up low scores by reaching the well-manicured greens, which aren't too undulating and provide up-and-down opportunities from any point. Definitely one of the more adventurous courses we’ve played.
