The Wizard Golf Course

Having played a few times on "real" links courses overseas I'm always skeptical about any U.S. course that bills itself as having a linksy layout. However, I was really impressed by The Wizards and came away wanting to play it again next time I'm in town. One of my favorites in Myrtle Beach.

What a blast to play this intriguing golf course designed by Dan Maples. It's a taste of links-style golf in Myrtle Beach. We play it every year on our annual Myrtle Beach golf trip. The greens are always great as is the course maintenance. The last four holes are the best finish to a round on the Grand Strand. Enjoy the look of the cool sod-faced bunkers just like the UK courses. Love the look of the Scottish castle clubhouse. Well worth a visit to play!

This is an excellent course. Obviously because of the great weather, it's been beat up a bit, but well worth the time to challenge it. My twosome had a 2:30 tee time, but they allowed a 4some who had already played 18 to play again in front of us, and that frustrated us to no end. We did the front nine in 2.5 hours, and by 6:45 had finished only 15 holes. We gave up in the darkness. I love this course, and will play it again.

well maintained fairways and greens. challenging yet not impossible course. also got lunch and 2 drinks included in price of play.

would go back

After our threesome hit our tee shots on the first tee, and were getting ready to drive away, the started interrupted us and dumped a random guy into our group without asking our opinion. This put a bad taste in our mouth. It's no big deal to have a person added to your group, but without asking, and after hitting our tee shots was poor form in my opinion. The course was in great condition, with the exception of the bunkers. The few that our group encountered were hard, and poorly groomed.

Played 8/16/2013 (foursome). Staff extremely indifferent, almost rude. Course in mediocre shape, even allowing for heavy rain the day before. Will definitely NOT be back. Not a good golf experience.

I usuall make this course a regular stop when I am in the area. The staff is very nice and they have a well stocked Pro Shop. The restaurant is average at best. The course is always in immaculate condition. The layout/design can be a little mundane and easy depending on your ability. However the conditions of the overall course and the greens in particular are pristine. 16-18 are good finishing holes. 18 in particular into the wind will give you all you can handle. Well worth playing. Neat looking Castle style clubhouse.

Middle of January and the course was in "Prime Time" shape. Course was in the best overall shape of the three courses we played. Fun to play,challenging but not overly difficult. Played 36 holes, enjoyed every one of them.

This course was the middle value of the three sister courses, but that's faint praise. Man O War was the best , and perhaps the only one worth playing, and the Witch was the worst.
