[Editor's note - yea! He's back!!!] Meadowlands, by the way, is tucked neatly in the Calabash area of NC. Head North on US 17 out of North Myrtle Beach to route 179 in North Carolina, hang a left and follow the signs to Meadowlands.I've played Meadowlands numerous times so this review is easy to do. Meadowlands as its name implies is a wide open course for the most part. The number one hole is a par four of 379 yards from the white tees looks invitingly easy; just hit it down the middle. Get off to a good start, because the front nine plays a lot tougher then the back on this course. Meadowlands has a couple of "unique" holes that challenge your mind as well as your...

Getting there is just a bit unusual as you will pass the course on your right, see the sign, and think you are there. You’ll need to go a bit farther west on route nine, find the second sign to enter through a residential area. It’s prime golf time in the North Myrtle Beach area!

Bill Pearson, Chairman and Trustee, said, “Out of all the organizations we considered, we could not have selected more deserving charities.

Why are so many Europeans heading to Georgia and the Sunbelt Senior Tour? The first event on the European Senior Tour will be the Barbados Open on February 28 - March 2. They will not have their second event until May 11-13 at the Turkish Seniors Open. That leaves a huge void from early March to late May. Don Barnes, Sunbelt Senior Tour Director, said, “David Russell, from Dunbar, Scotland, has entered the "Golden Isles Senior Classic" at Sanctuary Cove, Waverly, GA on March 14-16 and the Lowcountry Senior Open at Laurel Island Links in Kingsland, GA on March 19-21. Russell has finished 8th on the European Senior Tour's Order of Merit for both of the last two years. He has won over $1 million since joining that tour.” Click HERE to read the rest of this article... Golf Course Review on Eagle Nest, Little River, South Carolina - January 2007, By Joe Derus
Eagle Nest’s sign on route 17 reads “play the three toughest finishing holes on the strand.” Not what I normally look forward to, but I always feel great when I par two of the three.

Setting just off the south side of route 9, Crown Park is easily located by the billboards that guide to the entrance. The Hackers have played Crown Park many times and it is always a pleasure to return. Click HERE to read the rest of this review... Golf Course Review on River Hills, Little River, South Carolina - September 2006, By Joe Derus
River Hills is situated in a very picturesque residential area, and the drive to the clubhouse from route 17 is quite a way, so enjoy the scenery as you approach the course. I thought River Hills was a private or semi-private course simply because we, as a group have not played it before. Two thoughts come to mind. It has the look of a private club, in that it is well kept. Click HERE to read the rest of this review... Golf Course Review on Black Bear Golf Club, Longs, South Carolina - June 2006, By Joe Derus
You know you are headed in the right direction when you pass what once was one of the premier golf courses on the strand, Bay Tree Golf club. This course was recently closed due to development. It is already is overgrown and shaggy and a testament to overdevelopment. I only mention this because one of the main reasons we wanted to play Black Bear was because they recently reworked all of the greens. They closed for a few months and recently re-opened.

in a well established neighborhood.

Hi,
my name is Joe Derus. I play golf with a group of guys almost every Wednesday.
We are just average Joe’s (pun intended) that probably represent
the golfing majority. My personal handicap is 24 and those I play with
handicaps range from 36 to 8. Warren Drange, our newest member, is the
36 and dropping fast. Bob Schlage is our 8 and our benchmark for golf.
