Burning Ridge Golf Club, Myrtle Beach, recently earned a ranking of 8.9 from player/reviewers at Myrtle Beach Golf Insider, earning special recognition for the quality of its staff and putting surfaces.

Designed by Gene Hamm, Burning Ridge opened in 1980. In 2006, on the heels of an extensive renovation project in 2005, the golf course was named “Myrtle Beach Golf Course of the Year” by the Myrtle Beach Area Golf Course Owners Association based on the quality of the golf course, management and contributions to the Myrtle Beach community and the game of golf at large. Measuring 6,780 yards from the longest of its four sets of tees, Burning Ridge is a par-72 course, with the standard ten par fours, four par fives and four par threes. Those four par threes are a vey challenging set—they all measure 185 yards and longer, with the 247-yard 12th being the king of the bunch.

Burning ridge is known for having greens that come in all shapes and sizes, not just the dull ovals that adorn many golf courses. There are long and skinny ones that reward straight hitting as well as shallow, wide ones that place a premium on distance control. That of the 529-yard, par-five 18th is of the former group: The right side is fairly deep, but the left runs only about eight yards from front to back, guarded by a bunker in front. Make sure to hit your highest, softest-landing wedge shot in order to hold the green.

Maybe you can’t win the Grand Slam of golf, but you can experience the holes synonymous with each tournament. The Championship Nine features holes inspired by all four men’s major championships: The Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship.

Interestingly, it’s the International Nine that, when paired with either of the other nines, is the favorite course set-up of locals and the staff. The reason for this is that the International Nine, featuring no. 18 at Inverness Golf Club, no. 4 at Valderrama and no. 18 at Doral’s Blue Monster are less known to casual golfers, so it is usually far less crowded. And the Open and International nines combine for the longest 18 with the highest slope rating, too.

Named for courses hosting the U.S. and British Opens, the Open Nine includes holes from North America’s top-ranking golf courses including National Golf Club of Canada and the world’s top-rated course, Pine Valley Golf Club.

Voted the 1983 Golf Digest “Resort Course of the Year,” and ranked by the same publication among the top 50 public courses in the country in 1990, Oyster Bay Golf Links is a rare, harmonious blend of the penal, heroic and strategic philosophies of golf course architecture.
