Wachesaw Plantation East

Ugh. Where to begin. Called to make our tee time and specifically asked Steve (I think) if greens had recently been aerated (common problem this time of year in Myrtle Beach). I was clearly lied to in order to receive our business. The back nine greens were not even playable. They were covered in sand, tire tracks, etc. We completely quit putting by hole number 12. I wish I had pictures of what we paid to play. It was nothing like I have seen before. If this was my only problem with the course, I would still tell you to stay away. Complete BS to lie to customers.

Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was not much better. The cart girl does not sell hot dogs "this time of year" and could not be bothered to crack a smile. Chips and crackers only. We teed off 25 minutes after our scheduled start time. No starter, no ranger, no help. There were 5 foursomes who all had been given tee times within 10 minutes of each other. It was a complete mess. The guy at the bag drop was the only friendly person at the course....but told us "you guys are up next, head to the tee". Got there to find ourselves in a half hour line.

This course is clearly living off of their 2007 reputation. I felt like we were playing a backwoods course in the suburbs of Pittsburgh...not a course on the Grand Strand at Myrtle Beach. It was completely underwhelming. For the same price, play Wicked Stick or Indian Wells down the road.

Must play if you are in the area! Unique combination of holes, rewards good play, without unfairly penalizing the stray shot. Pace of play in mid-fall is excellent. An unusual experience for the Grand Strand.
