Three Finishing Holes
Make sure your North Myrtle Beach family vacation includes
the toughest three finishing holes in Myrtle Beach. Hit the
links at Eagle Nest Golf Club and you’ll get just that, a
championship golf course where holes 16, 17 and 18 complete
your round of Myrtle Beach golf with memorable challenges.
Hole #16: This number one handicap hole is a 416-yard par
four that features a fairway-encroaching pond on the left.
It requires a perfect shot with eagle-eye precision to make
it down the guarded fairway and to the undulating green.
Hole #17: At 576 yards, this number three handicap hole is a
par five. An intimidating pond intersects the gentle, double
dogleg just in front of the elevated green. Hit the ball too
short and you risk getting stuck in the sand trap. Hit it
too long and it will be lost in the trees.
Hole #18: The final hole is a par three, among the shortest
at Eagle Nest Golf Club, measuring in at 164 yards. The
trick is in launching the ball over the water that appears
to be half the size of the fairway’s length. Plus, the green
is closely protected by four sand traps.
Gene Hamm Design
PGA member Gene Hamm has designed more than 60 tremendous
golf courses throughout Virginia and the Carolinas,
including North Myrtle Beach’s Eagle Nest Golf Club’s
18-hole course. What begins as a championship golf course
that eases players into the game, ends with Myrtle Beach’s
three toughest finishing holes. Water, wastelands, sand
traps and a pine forest are natural hazards and obstacles
that make these 18 holes memorable. From a 150-yard par
three to a 576-yard par 5, Hamm’s design is a mental
challenge for all golfer levels.
Golfing on the Bermuda fairways and greens are a pleasure
and the gentle contours and generous playing areas that are
incorporated into Gene Hamm’s design are appreciated by all
Myrtle Beach golfers. |
