I was fortune enough to play Oyster Bay in Sunset Beach, NC last week courtsey of the Legends Golf Group. For over 20 years, Oyster Bay has been a favorite among Myrtle Beach Golfers who want a challenging layout with beautiful low-lying marshland views, undulating greens, long par 4`s with reachable par 5`s and two island green par threes.

The Dan Maples design opened in 1983 and won Golf Digest “Resort Course of the Year” in its inaugrael year. Also wining Golf Digest`s “Top 50 Public Courses in the Country in 1990″ The par-70 course plays to just under 6,700 yards from all the way back but does have four sets of tees.

Distance:
Gold
Out: 3315 / In: 3370 / Total: 6685
Blue
Out: 3170 / In: 3155 / Total: 6325
White
Out: 2771 / In: 2805 / Total: 5576
Red
Out: 2340 / In: 2325 / Total: 4665

Throughout the the round, I think we came across 10 alligators, like this guy here on the very first hole. Overall course was in good shape, greens were consistent, views were awesome, weather was great.Dan Maples has a long-standing tradition of creating stunning and challenging golf throughout the country and in the Myrtle Beach area. With over 10 designs on the Grand Strand, Oyster Bay is arguably his best.

Oyster Bay is currently ranked in the “Top 20 Courses in Myrtle Beach” at # 19 and is a great choice for the Legends Golf Package or Supreme Golf Package at NorthMyrtleBeachGolf.com.
