The Myrtle Beach Area Golf Course Owners Association, recently announced the winner of the 2011 Myrtle Beach Golf Course of The Year.

Redesigned by Thomas Walker, the Par 72 measures just over 7000 yards with waste bunkers and elevation changes making the course not only difficult, but also beautiful.

Managed by the Classic Golf Group, which also manages Black Bear Golf Club, and two previous winners of the Golf Course of the Year Title. Burning Ridge Golf Club won in 2006 and Indian Wells Golf Club won in 2004.
