Ocean Ridge Plantation
Ocean Ridge Plantation features three outstanding courses, including the Lion's Eye and the Tiger's Paw. These par-72 courses are very demanding and have tough and narrow fairways, but they will reward a golfer who can stay in those fairways with solid approach shots to the green. These courses are just over the border in North Carolina, but they are considered to be in the Myrtle Beach area.
