Myrtle Beach courses, on the other hand, present more obstacles, which can make them very difficult to navigate. They require a wider variety of shots, and that translates into lost balls, extra shots, higher scores and more muttered expletives. And some are probably harder than that.

The hole was officially dedicated to famed country singer Kenny Rogers in 1996. When you're standing on the tee, you have a decision to make. A large lake is directly in front of you. If you want to go the conservative route, you drive down the right-side fairway along the lake. However, it's basically impossible to reach the green in two.
