Welcome back to the Grand Strand! Grab your sunscreen and a cooler, because we are teeing it up at King's North Golf Course at Myrtle Beach National. This legendary Arnold Palmer masterpiece recently rolled out a major, multi-phase makeover spearheaded by architect Brandon Johnson. The verdict? The course is completely pristine, and its wildly imaginative layout will have you either feeling like a golfing god or furiously checking re-play rates at the pro shop. The Infamous Triple Threat. While Arnie gave you nice, wide-open fairways to comfortably blast your driver off the tee, the approach shots demand strict precision. Three iconic holes completely steal the show:Hole 6 ("The Gambler"): Inspired by Kenny Rogers, this par-5 presents a legendary dilemma. Do you play it safe to the right, or do you channel your inner high-roller and fire directly at the isolated island fairway in the middle of the lake? Pure risk-reward drama. Hole 12: This beautiful par-3 features a treacherous island green. Just to make sure you know exactly where you are when you pull out your wedge, the island is guarded by giant sand traps shaped perfectly like the letters "S" and "C". Hole 18 ("The Bull's-eye"): Hope you brought your bucket and shovel. The closing hole features more than 40 fairway bunkers framing the fairway like a sandy minefield, capped off by a green jutting right out into the lake. Surviving "The Gambler" with an eagle putt is a lifetime memory. Wanna play The Gambler? Contact us at https://eatdrinksleepgolf.com
