The Wizard Golf Club

We recently played The Wizard Golf Club, and we were impressed with the condition and the layout of the course. The fairways were over-seeded about three weeks before we played and they were in excellent shape. The greens rolled fast and true.
This Dan Maples layout is fair, yet challenging. Maples made good use of property, incorporating a meandering stream, lakes, and mounding with natural grasses.
The three finishing holes were our favorites. The 16th hole is a par 4 that measures 396 yards from the white tees with water down the right side of the fairway. Number 17 is a short par 3 to an island green, and the 18th hole is a 394-yard par 4 with another island green.
Pace of play was excellent for a Saturday morning in October.

Cape Fear National - New Grand Strand Golf Course Opening Soon

Cape Fear National Golf Club, the newest area course is expected to open in November or December 2009.
We recently had the opportunity to get a sneak preview of the course by playing 18-holes and we were thoroughly impressed! The course was designed by Tim Cate, whose courses include the highly-rated Tiger's Eye, Leopard's Chase, and Thistle Golf Clubs. Cape Fear National may be his best design. The course features bent-grass greens, bermuda fairways, marsh wetlands, and elevation changes. The course plans to add another 9-holes to the layout in the near future.
Cape Fear National is at the extreme north end of the Grand Strand, about 5 miles south of Wilmington, NC. The location makes it a good choice for golfers from the north to play on the way in or on the way out of the Myrtle Beach area.
There are only a few Myrtle Beach golf package companies that can get you on this course. Call Golf Packages of the Carolinas at 1-877-732-6999, or visit http://www.seasidegolf.com/ to get more information about Cape Fear National.
