Four Hidden gems on the Myrtle Beach Golf Trail highlight the Traveling Golfer June 2025 episode.
We’ll warn you here. After watching this show, you may find yourself making plans to come down South.
We explore these must-play courses that are perfect for weekend warriors, high or low handicappers, and anyone looking for that relaxing and intriguing golf getaway — with lots of laughs.
You may not have heard of these courses since they are tucked away in South Carolina’s Low Country, each offering its own unique challenges and rewards.
These courses, though primarily frequented by locals, are also high-quality tracks that provide insights not widely known. But here on Traveling Golfer we reveal them for you.
Aye, Matie. Beware!
And, we have a lot of fun and laughs at the top of the episode, as we show off our pirate nature.
First stop: Crown Park. We show you the pristine fairways weaving through towering trees, delivering that perfect mix of nature and strategy.
We also show you how you could possibly eagle a short par-4 that requires a towering tee shot over trees.
Plus, we reveal one of the secrets — the personalities of the Crown Park squirrel community.
Next, things get wild at Diamondback, a course named after the serpents there — only in name. This is another Traveling Golfer reveal. Trust us, the only diamondback serpent is the one sitting in a glass box in the clubhouse. You should see it before you hit the course.
A Cheers Golf Course
Plus, you will also understand how Diamondback’s Clubhouse has another nickname because it reminds you of a famous New York bar. Cheers!
And we show you how to play its tough Par-5 16th hole.
Then we swing over to Shaftesbury Glen, a course that channels old-world English architecture with deep, dramatic bunkers that test your precision.
But we also show you Shaftesbury Glen‘s new waste areas that allow you to get to your long drives quicker.
In addition, Shaftesbury Glen has a great sense of humor as they give you tips on how to play this legendary course. And, you may enjoy a stay and play here.
Ghostly Past
Another stay and play is at our last stop, Wedgefield Plantation. The centuries-old Spanish moss hangs over historic grounds, giving golfers a blend of beauty and serious shot-making opportunities.
I actually play the scenic par-5 17th hole and almost eagle it.
Plus, our next Traveling Golfer reveal makes us think we were “ghosted” at Wedgefield Plantation as we reveal the historical and spooky tale that is still evident more than 250 years later.
Besides our comic storytelling and the beauty of these golf courses, we try to show you how the Myrtle Beach Golf Trail is a great getaway experience offering you great deals on the course but also at a wide range of places to stay and eat. You should go to their website before you plan anything.
