Myrtle Beach's Mystical Golf: Witch is better for you, or is it Wizard or Man O' War?
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Mystical Golf in Myrtle Beach has three courses that rarely disappoint. But if you had to pick only one, which one would it be?
Many golfers might pick The Witch Golf Club because of its beautiful wetlands-forest combination and difficulty. Better players can appreciate its 133 slope (6,796-yard par 71). This terrific Dan Maples design, built over 500 acres, has many memorable holes, including a dynamite finishing stretch. (Maples designed all three courses.) An added bonus is that the course serves as a wildlife refuge, home to many species, including quite a few alligators.
But average golfers might prefer Man O' War Golf Club or The Wizard Golf Club , and here's why:
First off, while The Witch certainly has terrific greens, they are Bermuda (by necessity). According to Mystical Golf owner Claude Pardue, the other two courses were designed specifically to accommodate bentgrass greens. Not only are The Wizard and Man O' War two of only a handful of courses on the Grand Strand to offer bentgrass, but also they are arguably some of the best bentgrass greens in the state.
One of the obvious reasons is air circulation. Both courses, which are right next to each other but operated out of separate clubhouses, are wide open. There's plenty of water and bunkering on both courses and the trees are strategic, never suffocating any part of the golf course. There's another reason, too. The greens are not USGA spec, which was done intentionally, Pardue said.
"Each green was designed individually according to their location," Pardue said. "It doesn't matter what type of grass you have on top. If what's underneath is wrong, it doesn't matter."
Pardue said he consulted with one of the top university agronomists in the country when the courses were built back in 1996. The result has been anything but disappointing. Not only are the greens in terrific shape year-round, including Myrtle Beach's hot summers, but they're also perfect in the fall when other courses are dormant or have overseeded their Bermuda greens. Add to that the general excellent conditions on the rest of the golf courses, and you have a consistent enjoyable product.
For example, a hole may require a player to summon a gust of wind to carry their ball across a water hazard, or create a charm to teleport the ball closer to the hole. The course also features enchanted hazards, such as moving trees and hidden portals. These obstacles add an element of surprise and excitement to the game, keeping players on their toes and testing their skills in an entirely new way. Players must strategize and adapt their gameplay to navigate the unpredictable magic of the course. Throughout the course, mystical creatures and magical beings can be discovered, adding to the sense of wonder and adventure. Players may encounter fairies nestled in the trees, mischievous elves causing playful havoc, or even encounter a wise old witch who offers guidance and advice for their game. The witchcraft inspired golf course is not only a unique and immersive experience for players, but it also serves as a celebration of the rich history and folklore surrounding witches. It is a homage to the enchanting world of witchcraft, bringing it into a new and unexpected context. Overall, the witchcraft inspired golf course offers a one-of-a-kind experience that combines the cherished tradition of golf with the whimsical and magical world of witches. Whether players are avid golfers or simply curious about witchcraft, this innovative concept promises an unforgettable and enchanting adventure on the greens..
Reviews for "Conjuring up a Magical Round of Golf on the Witchcraft Course"
1. John - 2 stars - I must admit, I was quite intrigued when I heard about a witchcraft inspired golf course in town. However, my excitement quickly turned into disappointment upon visiting. The concept seemed interesting, but the execution was poor. The course was poorly maintained, with overgrown grass and uneven surfaces. The supposed witchcraft elements were also not well-integrated, feeling forced and out of place. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience that did not live up to my expectations.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I regret ever stepping foot on this so-called "witchcraft inspired" golf course. It was evident that the theme was nothing more than a marketing gimmick to attract customers. The only semblance of witchcraft I found was a few random witch hats and broomsticks scattered around the course. The course itself was subpar, with unimaginative hole designs and a lack of proper maintenance. I would not recommend wasting your time or money on this disappointing attraction.
3. Mark - 2 stars - As an avid golfer and enthusiast of the occult, I was excited to try out this witchcraft inspired golf course. Unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The course layout was uninspiring, lacking creativity and the integration of witchcraft elements was superficial at best. The staff also seemed unenthusiastic and uninterested in providing a quality experience. Overall, it was a missed opportunity to create something truly unique and enjoyable for both golfers and fans of witchcraft.
4. Emily - 1 star - I found the idea of a witchcraft inspired golf course intriguing, but the reality was far from enchanting. The course was in poor condition, with unkempt fairways and shoddy greens. The witchcraft theme was barely visible, limited to a few cheesy props that did nothing to enhance the golfing experience. It felt like a money-grab exploiting popular trends rather than a thoughtfully designed course. Save yourself the disappointment and find a proper golf course instead.
