A couple weeks ago I went to something pretty cool right in the heart of Myrtle Beach.
The Burroughs & Chapin Co, one of MBs biggest companies, probably THE biggest, did something good. Pine Lakes CC has had a few lives. It was originally the golf component of The Ocean Forest Hotel, one of the super-swanky spots that popped up in the roaring twenties. When the hotel finally met its demise the golf course carried on, although not known as one of the areas must plays.
An interesting sidenote is Sports Illustrated was first discussed by Time Inc execs in the bar at Pine Lakes, pretty neat.
Two years ago B&C closed the “Grandaddy” and rather than pop up a few hundred houses in this most desired area, resurrected the golf course. So an old standard, the oldest among 100 in Myrtle is back and better than ever.
