A year and $15 million later, the granddaddy of Myrtle Beach golf is a new, old club. Some of Pine Lakes Country Club's "old" aspects are new, like the plus-fours and argyle socks that the bag and cart crews wear.

In short, the renovations seamlessly blend the old and the new while retaining the grandeur of the pre-1929-stock-market-crash club.

Rose Hill Golf Club is tale of two nines. There are few doglegs on the front, instead it's a parade of straight holes. The back seems to be a different course - more doglegs, more water, bunkers, length and trees. This is where you just try to hold on and talk about over beers later.
