Item Special Note

The Grand Strand's third-oldest and most well-known golf club, the Surf Club, as the Surf Golf and Beach Club is known, comes from an original design by George Cobb.  Timely renovations have kept the venerable club competitive with newer area courses.  

The club opened in 1960, and was first renovated in 1990 by John Lafoy.  Lafoy remade the greens and bunkers, added some contour and small mounds, and added depth to the greens, while mostly leaving the fairways alone.  

In 1996, the club replaced the greens with G2 bentgrass, which proved to be pivotal in keeping the club competitive.  Some of the greens are two- and even three-tiered.  Beyond that, the course is a traditional layout, a parkland setting with wide fairways and minimal fairway bunkers.

Water is in play on 14 holes, but is mostly cosmetic.  Water trouble is largely around the greens.  The course is perhaps best-known for its collection of par 3s, which may be considered among the best on the Strand.  The course also has a mix of distances in its par 4s.  Surf Club, a semi-private club, measures 6,842 yards and sits on 200 acres of contoured and varied terrain.
