A lot of players are playing before they even check into their hotel, and on their way out to Interstate 95. Breeden is well known for being able to work with tight budgets to produce courses that are focused on risk reward opportunities and blessed with outstanding, yet maintainable course conditions. And with greens fees that should never approach three figures, no matter what the season, Diamond Back should fill a unique niche between the higher end and lower budget courses of the Grand Strand. When booking one of Myrtle Beach's ubiquitous golf packages, Timms hopes to keep Diamond Back affordable for the average golfer. There are over one hundred courses over here, and many of them are paid for - they can charge less and make more.
Golfers try to avoid surcharges on their packages.
We try not to be a surcharge facility. Part of the challenge of Diamond Back is choosing the right teeing ground. Because of the numerous doglegs, and a variety of hazards that bisect fairways at the landing areas, Breeden takes the one wood out of the hand of the 230-270 yard driver of the golf ball from the back tees. He makes a concerted effort at looking at how women perceive the course from their tees, and he makes sure the course is challenging and fair from the forward tees. At its essence, Diamond Back Golf Club is a golf course that just makes sense.
