Myrtle Beach calls itself the Golf Capital of the World, with 80-plus courses — but the site's catalog had almost no real-course film. This guide was built fresh to fix that: seven narrated course films from Play Golf Myrtle Beach, plus the casual tier.

Hole-by-Hole of a PGA TOUR Golf Course | The Dunes Club

Play Golf Myrtle Beach

A narrated hole-by-hole tour of the Dunes Golf and Beach Club, the 1948 Robert Trent Jones design that hosts the PGA TOUR's Myrtle Beach Classic. The film walks the course the way the pros will play it — where the fairway bunker on the 10th (about 315 yards out) will tempt driving irons and 3-woods, and how the oceanfront holes set up.

Key takeaways
  • The Dunes Club is a 1948 Robert Trent Jones design
  • It hosts the PGA TOUR's Myrtle Beach Classic
  • A strategy-first, hole-by-hole preview of a championship course

Aaron Chewning Plays Every Hole at Caledonia Golf & Fish Club

Play Golf Myrtle Beach

Aaron Chewning plays every hole at Caledonia Golf & Fish Club in Pawleys Island, Mike Strantz's celebrated design, with shot-by-shot commentary through the round. Water, waste bunkers and the club's famous finishing holes all feature as he works his way around one of the most admired courses on the Grand Strand.

Key takeaways
  • A full 18-hole play-through at Caledonia Golf & Fish Club
  • Caledonia is a Mike Strantz design in Pawleys Island
  • Shot-by-shot narration shows where the course punishes mistakes

The Player's Digest | TPC Myrtle Beach Hole-by-Hole Tour to Preview the Dustin Johnson World Junior

Play Golf Myrtle Beach

The Player's Digest walks TPC Myrtle Beach hole by hole, previewing the Tom Fazio design through the eyes of the Dustin Johnson World Junior Championship field. Approach-shot ranges, the demanding 10th and the course's favorite stretches are covered in a compact narrated tour.

Key takeaways
  • TPC Myrtle Beach is a Tom Fazio design
  • It hosts the Dustin Johnson World Junior Championship
  • The tour is framed as a player's preview: yardages, angles, trouble spots

The championship tier

The Dunes Club gets a strategy-first, hole-by-hole tour — the 1948 Robert Trent Jones design that hosts the PGA TOUR's Myrtle Beach Classic, bunker placements and oceanfront holes included. TPC Myrtle Beach, Tom Fazio's design and home of the Dustin Johnson World Junior, gets the same Player's Digest treatment.

The Strantz pair

Aaron Chewning plays every hole at two Mike Strantz designs in Pawleys Island: Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, shot by shot through water and waste bunkers, and True Blue, where 240-yard water carries force genuine layup decisions.

The Player's Digest | Pine Lakes Country Club

Play Golf Myrtle Beach

The Player's Digest at Pine Lakes Country Club, 'the Granddaddy' — the first golf course built in Myrtle Beach, opened in 1927. The film pairs the history (Sports Illustrated was conceived in its clubhouse in 1954) with playing guidance: the par-four 3rd is the toughest hole, and the 9th turns back to the clubhouse guarded by water and trees.

Key takeaways
  • Pine Lakes opened in 1927 — the first course in Myrtle Beach
  • Sports Illustrated was conceived in its clubhouse in 1954
  • The 3rd hole ranks as the course's toughest test

The Player's Digest | The Love Course at Barefoot Resort

Play Golf Myrtle Beach

The Player's Digest tours the Love Course at Barefoot Resort, Davis Love III's design and the locals' favorite of Barefoot's four championship courses. Narrated strategy runs through the round — when to take a hybrid off the tee, the flip-wedge 11th, and the 13th, where the course 'gets really fun.'

Key takeaways
  • The Love Course is one of four courses at Barefoot Resort
  • Designed by Davis Love III; a local favorite
  • Narrated playing strategy throughout

The Player's Digest | Tidewater Golf Club

Play Golf Myrtle Beach

The Player's Digest at Tidewater Golf Club in North Myrtle Beach, Ken Tomlinson's design blending marsh and Intracoastal Waterway views into a par-72 layout. The film covers the course's hardest tests, including the 11th — nicknamed 'the General Store' and ranked the second-hardest hole — and a green guarded by seven bunkers.

Key takeaways
  • Tidewater sits in North Myrtle Beach on the marsh and Intracoastal
  • A Ken Tomlinson design, par 72
  • The 11th hole is ranked the course's second hardest

History and the locals' picks

Pine Lakes, 'the Granddaddy' — opened 1927, first course in Myrtle Beach, Sports Illustrated conceived in its clubhouse in 1954 — is toured with playing guidance. The Love Course at Barefoot (Davis Love III; the locals' favorite of Barefoot's four) and Tidewater in North Myrtle (its 11th ranked second-hardest) complete the course set. Topgolf's full tour covers the group-night tier across from Broadway.

Key takeaways
  • True Blue is a Mike Strantz design in Pawleys Island
