Summary: Solid, thorough review of all major courses
Review: "Grand Strand" solidly and thoroughly provides any avid golfer seeking information on all major Myrtle Beach courses with all the vital information they need to begin planning an enjoyable trip to what has colorfully been referred to as "the reddest of golf's red light districts. With course access and contact information and informative playing tips, all levels of golfer can plan the most important aspects of their trip...the finances and the location of their selected courses to plan their own customized Myrtle Beach experience. All major courses, from the old venerable standbys like the Dunes Club, Marsh Harbour and Pine Lakes International, to the hot newcomers True Blue and TPC Myrtle Beach, are painstakingly described, often times with a strategic shot-by-shot and amenity-by-amenity description. There is even a detailed map and scorecard from each of the approximately 100 courses analyzed. While it has all the detail one need's to select the right courses for any customized trip, some treatment should be given to lodging, dining and alternative means of spending a golf widow's time. Also, the British jargon sometimes espoused by the author in his descriptions grows mildly tedious. Nevertheless, this in depth course atlas goes a long way toward further dispelling the myth that Myrtle Beach is a raffish escape for those bargain hunters looking for a "Golfers answer to Las Vegas."
