MUST PLAY
THE COURSE HAD ALOT OF RAIN IN THE DAYS PRIOR TO ROUND BUT COURSE HELD UP WELL. FOR ME MUCH MORE PLAYABLE THAN CALEDONIA. BAIL OUT AREAS AND WIDE FAIRWAYS. NOT FOR THE BEGINNER OR SHORT HITTERS. NOT AS "TRICKED" AS OTHER STRANZ DESIGNS.
DOWN HILL PUTT STOPPED IN GA
FULL DISCLOSURE I DIDNT PLAY MY BEST BUT THE SPEED OF THE GREENS WERE CRIMINAL. UPHILL 12 FOOTER WITH 4 FT OF BREAK. COURSE IS AS SCENIC AS ANY BUT AT $100 LOCAL OFF SEASON NOT ENJOYABLE. FAIRWAYS A TAD FIRM. ALL THAT IT SHOULD BE ON VISITOR LIST FOR SCENARY
True classic
A different course than its sister, Caledonia. Like Caledonia, though, this is must-play golf in Myrtle Beach. Every hole is a treat. Conditions are always great. First-rate operation. Word to the wise ... Play the tees commensurate with your ability. Otherwise, it's going to be a long day.
Pristine
You don't go to Paris and skip the Louvre. It's the same for Myrtle Beach and Caledonia. From the drive to the course through the round, this is prime golf. Every hole is a postcard. Play it. Play it again.
Premium Course
This course was in great shape and the greens were fast and overall the course was in great shape. Some negatives, our round took 5 hours this should not happen at a premium course. There were no club and ball washers on the carts. everthing else was very good.
Strantz=Genius
Great course by a great architect. Every hole keeps you on your toes. A lot of fun.
What a treat.
Great layout and 10 beautiful holes that were framed by large yet fair waste areas. Course was in great shape tee to green. Greens were smooth and rolled true. Get a course map to aid in tee shots. we played white tees to accommodate all players in our group so hat to choose 3 woods or hybrids on a number of holes but plenty of room for driver on majority. From blues apparently difficult and plenty of room for driver. If I played again it would be from blue tees.
loved this course. just wish a little cheaper or we had used a service to get better rates then booking online ala carte.
Caledonia
Beautiful course, must play everytime we go down. 16, 17 & 18 are great finishing holes. Greens were great. Woman selling the photos was a little much. Love the clubhouse & pro shop. Great staff.
Beautiful Course - Will be back!!!
Just going to keep this short and sweet because I'm sure it's all been said already. This course is beautiful. Greens rolled true (my speed was most of the day though), fairways were in great shape. I'll be back...and hopefully I'll be putting better next time.
Good not Great
Not quite up to the standard of its sister course, Caledonia, but a very good course nonetheless. Wide landing areas make it easy to get off the tee, but it does get quite challenging after that. It's always on our play list during our semi-annual spring trek to MB.
Always a Treat
Not much to add to all the other great reviews. Our group's semi-annual visit to MB would not be complete without a round at Caledonia.
great course
one of the top 10 courses I have ever played. I wished I had played better but thats not the courses fault. Everything from the clubhouse, clam chowder, to the 18 hole was awesome. Probable won't ever get to play again because of the price and so many other great golf courses to play in the area. You better know how to putt when you come here, and look out for gators.
Perfection
Caledonia rocketed to the top of the must play golf courses in Myrtle Beach. Everything about the place was perfect. From the time you turn in and drive through a piece of history, to the end when you are relaxing with a beer watching others come in to 18 green. Everything was perfect. We played ona day that was sunny and 75 degrees. The tees were immaculate, fairways and bunkers were well kept. The greens, however, are what stole the show. They were flawless, to say the least. Every green was fairly quick, but not unforgiving. There were no bumps, dry spots, imperfections, etc. The course layout is challenging, more for the need of proper placement over pure length. There is water on several holes, but never any crazy forced carries. The clubhouse staff, starter, bag attendants, and bar staff were excellent. I highly recommend having lunch in the clubhouse. Excellent food. This is a pricey course by all standards, but I have never felt so happy to have paid so much for this course. We will be back each time we visit.
Good, but definitely not great
Course was in OK shape. Some issues with fairway being inconsistent. Greens were generally good, but didn't have the roll you would expect from a $125+ course. We played on a replay from the sister course, Caledonia. Thank goodness it was only $59 to replay. Staff were great, very friendly. Course was wide open so no delays. Caledonia speaks for itself, but we also played TPC Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach Natiinal - Kings North. I would play both of those courses before True Blue.
Used to love it
My group has played Caledonia every year since it opened on an annual golf trip. The setting is the most scenic of any of the Myrtle Beach area courses. But the last 2 years have been a disappointment due to course condition (mostly with fairways) and an uncooperative starter. They are quick to go cart path only at the slightest amount of rain which was the case this year even though fairways were firm and 6 other courses in the area allowed us to drive the course. Last year we were a group of 6 and the starter attempted to make is go 4 and 2 with 2 ladies added to make up a second foursome. After much argument he finally relented and let us go as 2 threesomes. Also that year we were told a few fairways were closed to carts when in reality only a few were open. Taking it off the list for next year.
Best on the strand
So this is one of the most beautiful properties in the country, any designer would've been able to make a nice course. But Mike Strantz delivered one of the best layouts in the country. I'm not going to get into details about the layout as it is recognized as one of the best already. However, this time around the course was not quite in the same condition as it was a year prior, not saying that they weren't great because they were still amazing. Maybe I'm reaching a little bit by saying it was a little less green and a little drier. But never mind that, this course is worth the money and you are truly missing out if you don't play.
Mike Strantz the goat
First off it was below 30 Fahrenheit the morning I played, so nobody was on the course. I also took out a golf board, pretty chilly but that's not the point. This golf course is spectacular, it shows traces of what Mike Strantz was about to do at his later courses. It's a great design, takes a few rounds to be fully appreciated. The conditions were pretty good, firm and fast, that's how the course feels like it was meant to be. I truly think this course is underrated and is the second best course on the strand, (after it's sister). Also I'd like to add that I played both this and Caledonia in the same day, I had planned to walk over to caledonia after my first round but one of the employees insisted that it was too far and generously offered to drive me over. That is going above and beyond. Great service, great course, give it more credit.
True South Carolina experience
It starts when you turn in and make your way through the Spanish moss as you head up the drive way and arrive at the plantation style club house. The staff is extremely friendly from the cashier in the club house to the starter out on the first tee. There is not a traditional practice area only a few pins to chip to and a putting green. For it being February the tees, fairways and greens were in great shape and with it being a bit warmer than normal some of the color was starting to bloom and giving you that Augusta like feeling. The course wasn't too tight but most holes have tree lined fairways and putting it in the short grass will definitely help your score. There is also not much space to the left/right or backs of the greens so be accurate with you shots into the green. The 18th is a great finishing hole with the marsh all down your right side and water cutting in about 100yds in front of the green. Picking the right club off the tee (not as long as it looks) will set you up for a good second shot into the green. We finished up as the sun was getting ready to set and the views of the sun over the marsh and the clubhouse just capped a great day and were the essence of South Carolina.
Great venue
Plays long and hard. Plenty of trouble to get into. Lots of water. lots of forced carries. Lots and lots of sand and waste bunkers. Don't plan on improving your handicap at this course. Lots of fun!
Amazing fun at True Blue
What a great track in Pawleys Island. I had never even heard of the course until I was told that it was ranked in Matt Ginella's top 50 courses in the country. The course was definitely a treat to play and was very well kept.
The course was designed in 1998 and was very buetifuel. The course as well as practice facilities where very nice. The extensive waste bunkers and deep rough was a challenge but the overseeded fairways where good.
The food in the clubhouse was good and man was the clubhouse nice. The best part was the staff that was so nice and helpful. Overall I really enjoyed the course.

True Blue has not overseeded in 2016-2017.
when I played last after my round my clubs were cleaned and wiped down after the round. there was no nee for a club washer on the cart.
