Possum Trot Golf Club North Myrtle Beach, SC
Known as "The Friendly Course" in Myrtle Beach, the well-manicured fairways and greens offer you the golfing game of your life. The course also features a comprehensive practice facility complete with a driving range, short-game range, large practice bunker, and large putting green. The course features an Old English design, open fairways, and magnificent par 5's.
Each hole on the course has its own very unique characteristics and challenge. Hole 11 is nicknamed "Big Possum." It features 460 yards of uphill into the wind golf. This hole is one of the hardest par 4's on the beach. You tee off directly to an elevated green which is protected by bunkers on both sides. The ninth hole, nicknamed "No Mercy," is a long uphill par 4 which plays directly into the ocean breeze.
Hole 5 is known as "The Gambler" and requires you to play from an elevated tee over rolling mounds or take a shortcut over pines directly in front of you. Make sure you avoid the deep bunker directly in front of the green. "The Puzzler," hole 16, will deeply puzzle you with its dep green and left and right bunkers.
The finisher is a fantastic hole. "Oh No" forces you to fight to keep your ball out of the lake that is situated directly in front of the green. It guards the right side of the fairway and green. "Holy Cow," also known as hole 4, allows for a dozen different ways of play. Strategy, however, is key here for a successful day.
