Reviews
Marty, the starter, was very friendly and helpful
The course was in good shape. The greens looked bad and were slow, but they putted well. The scenery was nice. They had a lot of rain the day before, so the course was cart path only, which was a bummer. The price was high even through Golf Now.
The course was no more than average. It was raining and a lot of water lying around and the greens had been top dressed.
The saddest thing for me was the last hole. It looks like they had ran out of space. My review is harsh but that is because of what I payed for the round. It’s certainly not value for money
Do not recommend
I had very high expectations for True Blue, especially considering the $180 price tag, but unfortunately the experience was a major disappointment.
The course has a interesting layout and plenty of potential, but the condition of the course did not match what I expected for that price. The greens had noticeable patches of dead grass and sand throughout, which really took away from the experience. On top of that, none of the bunkers or sand areas appeared to be raked, leaving them in rough condition and making them difficult to play.
The biggest issue, however, was the pace of play. Our round took 5.5 hours, which is simply unacceptable. We were waiting constantly throughout the round, and it made it very difficult to enjoy the course.
For $180, I expected the course conditions and overall experience to be exceptional. Unfortunately, the conditions, lack of bunker maintenance, and extremely slow pace of play did not come close to justifying the price.
I really wanted to like True Blue, but based on my experience, the value just wasn't there.
Fantastic Course
First things first, I came down this time of year not knowing there was a tournament this week effecting all courses. So with that in mind, the pace of play was slow, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the course. The staff apologized and offered to give a range check for another full round. I chose to continued the back nine (started round on 10) and still had a blast, as it cleared on the front nine. And finished the front 9 in 75 mins. The 19th hole is very good, not your typical fare on a few items and some really good reliables. The pro shop is well stocked and apportioned. Again the staff was super nice and helpful.
I will definitely be coming back again the next time I’m down.
Course in Poor condition
I arrived in the MB / Pawleys area 3 days before playing this course and had no rain, yet the course was in terrible shape from water damage. The fairways were being mowed while we played for the first time in obviously almost a week, leaving clumps of clippings with no effort to blow them away. Deep water sat in the bunkers which also had significant ruts. While they are not expected to control Mother Nature, they can at least compensate the players willing to still play it in that condition. No warnings or discounts were ever offered.
Love/hate
Bittersweet review. Caledonia F & GC is a special place, one of the more beautiful courses I've ever played BUT...they sanded the greens the very day we played and didn't say anything in the pro shop. The front 9 was playable but disappointing, but the back 9 was horrible. I'll go back, but that "mouth shut" policy makes me look a little sideways. I believe they should have done better by telling us about the greens and providing a discounted rate because it absolutely dulled the experience.
A Gem
True Blue is a gem. No other way to put it. Despite it being summer, the fairways and greens were in great shape. Staff was fantastic and ending 36 holes with an ice cold towel and a club wipe down at the bag drop was fantastic.
Pro tip. If you want to run back another 18, ask about their replay special
Great Course! Excellent condition!
This is a beautiful course! The course is in excellent condition! Really a great place to play! Dont miss it!
An Absolute Gem
This course is a blast to play. Interesting layout means strategy on every shot. Staff was great, and the conditions were fantastic. True Blue is a must play.
The place is special absolutely beautiful course I would play here every time I visit Myrtle Beach it’s a Must see! The staff is amazing and the conditions are pristine!
Overpriced
Even though their website advertises free youth 16 and under with paid adult they wanted to charge me full rate until I inquired about a discount at that point they charged me half rate for my junior.
DISAPPOINTED
Having played this tract many times, my favorite on the Grand Strand, I was really disappointed in conditions. Unfortunately the greens have recently been punched and top dressed. This was not a major issue since maintenance needs to be performed..
The fairways were in terrible shape for a course that is supposed to be a "premium" course and charges premium rates.
All sandy areas are now considered waste areas. Apparently this also means no maintenance in them. All sandy areas are basically hard pan, even greenside areas.
Mike Stranz Must Play!
Mike Stranz can do no wrong. If there is any course in the Myrtle Beach area you have to play, this is most definitely it. The design is memorable, the fairways generous, the shear amount of waste area is a nightmare (but in a good way). You will find the sand at this course. In fact you may spend more time in the sand here than at the actual beach. This is a bucket list course and it is easy to see why it is the number 3 course in the Myrtle Beach area. Honestly I don’t know why I’m writing this review. Go play Pawley’s Plantation or Heritage Club so I can play here each day and be in my own golf heaven.
