Arcadian Shores Golf Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, was designed by architect Rees Jones and holds the distinction of being his first solo design. The layout brings together lakes, fairways framed by trees, sizable bunkering and noticeably contoured ground.
The course measures just over 6,800 yards from the back tees, with a course rating of 73.2 and a slope of 137, and multiple tee boxes allow players of differing abilities to pick a comfortable length. Playing surfaces include Bermuda fairways and Tifton Bermuda greens, while 64 carefully placed bunkers and lakes that thread in and out of the fairways give the design its character.
