River Hills Golf & Country Club
Played On 04/01/2018“challenging”
Nice practice facility with 2 greens and 2 bunkers and spacious range.
The course is very nice and really challenging.
Greens were medium paced. Not slow really, not fast either. Not like Farmstead where the greens are PGA style fast.
When I say “challenging”, don’t take it lightly. The course is very “shot specific” in where you CAN’T just break out your driver on every par 4 or 5 hole.
It’s very tight on some holes also as the fairways aren’t as wide as most other courses I’ve played in Myrtle.
Lots of dogleg holes also which forces you to dial it in for ball placement to setup approach shots.
Greens were nice and lots of subtle breaks to read.
Only negative point is the greens are SO SMALL. Again, challenging, as we were putting from the fringe/fairway 4 - 8 ft out from the hole cause there wasn’t room for chipping, or bump & run to the hole.
Out of 25 plus courses played in Myrtle area, these were the smallest I’ve played.
In short – Dial it in, and play the holes from the pin, back to the tee.
Can’t wait to play the course again.
Cancun Country Club - El Tinto Golf Course
Played On 08/02/2017Nice course, but not the greens
Was staying at the secrets resort and they offered free round of play at 2 courses. Cancun CC was the one I chose.
Fairways were nice, but the greens needed some work with the bare spots.
The clubs for renting looked like 10yrs + old or donated from a yard sale. Had to mix & match to get a 52 & 62 degree wedges.
Here is where they get you -
Free round from the resort - $0
But cart fee was $75
Club rental was $40, though they tried to get me to pay $50.
Taxi both ways - $50 (incl tip)
Ran into another couple playing who had the same complaints.
Not worth $115 for a round. Myrtle Beach has much better courses for less.
I brought my own shoes, balls & tees and paid $4 for a small bucket to practice at the range.
