Caledonia Golf & Fish Club and its sister course, True Blue Golf Club, are no strangers to prestigious awards and accolades, with numerous national honors coming from the likes of Golfweek, Golf Digest, Golf Magazine, Golf Channel and more.
But perhaps as telling as these courses’ annual national honors is a unique and prestigious one in 2017 that included our Mike Strantz designs quite prominently. In partnership with Myrtle Beach Golf Trips, the South Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel and its extensive panel of avid golfers was asked to name their selections of the Myrtle Beach’s area’s top par 3, par 4 and par 5 golf holes.
The 18 holes receiving the most votes comprise the Panel’s “dream 18” holes, which together have since been grouped to reveal “Myrtle Beach’s Perfect Round.” Together, they represent a par 72 selection of holes that, among a choice of more than 1,700 golf holes over nearly 100 golf courses, truly represent the “best of the best” on the Grand Strand golf scene.
Of these 18 great golf holes, we’re proud to have Caledonia and True Blue represented with four of them – with at least one in each category. Caledonia’s par 3 11th hole, True Blue and Caledonia’s par 4 finishing holes and Caledonia’s par 5 10th hole were recognized among the likes of The Dunes Club’s famed “Alligator Alley” holes, two of Tidewater Golf Club’s iconic marshland holes and TPC Myrtle Beach’s renowned finishing hole.
