Santa To Leave Free Golf Under the Trees At Myrtlewood Golf Club

Wednesday, December 7, 2011 by Nick Nicholas

The PineHills Course offers free Myrtle Beach golf on Christmas Day. Visitors spending Christmas Day in Myrtle Beach will discover the PineHills Course at Myrtlewood Golf Club offers a distinctive present under its giant trees: Free golf.

It’s a Grand Strand tradition that players are allowed to walk at no charge at either PineHills or Myrtlewood’s Palmetto Course on Christmas Day. On December 25th, PineHills is the more appealing of the two because golfers making the turn are closer to the clubhouse parking lot. Keep your fingers crossed for a 60-degree day, something not out of the ordinary for Christmas time on the Beach.

Thus PineHills presents the most opportune time to test out those new clubs delivered by Santa Claus.

The most centrally-located golf facility on the Myrtle Beach golf scene, Myrtlewood’s PineHills Course is located between the Intracoastal Waterway and Broadway at the Beach. Behind the well-stocked clubhouse players try to perfect their short game skills while large boats travel up and down the Intracoastal.

In 1966 PineHills architect Arthur Hills designed this Myrtle Beach golf trip favorite. It was one of Golf Digest’s preferred layouts in 1997 when the publication selected PineHills among Myrtle Beach’s Top 10 courses.

The home hole at PineHills is one of the Grand Strand’s best designed closing holes. The approach shot to the 405-yard par-4 is to a large green significantly protected on the left side by an inviting water hazard. If the pin is tucked on the left side and the wind forces an extra club or two No. 18 is a significant challenge.

PineHills plays 6,640 yards from the championship markers and is a very player-friendly course.

PineHills is ideally located for the golfer who wants to maximize his golf vacation. PineHills is within a short drive to Broadway at the Beach – South Carolina’s Largest Entertainment complex that includes Ripley’s Aquarium – and BB&T Coastal Field, home to the Texas Rangers Class A Advanced Affiliate Myrtle Beach Pelicans.
