Ever since we visited Tintagel England, I have been fascinated by Arthurian legend. According to folklore, the \u201cLady of the Lake\u201d gave King Arthur his infamous sword Excalibur. Viviane was a tale of two personalities \u2013 the evil and deceitful villainess but also a kind and benevolent maiden, who raised Lancelot as if he were her son. Merlin, on the other hand, was the guardian of young Arthur and served as King Arthur\u2019s advisor until he was bewitched and imprisoned by the Lady of the Lake.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward ten centuries or so!<\/p>\n<p>Mystical Golf owner Claude Pardue commissions renowned Architect Dan Maples to create a trio of golf courses with three different personalities and unique challenges as these characters. And each clubhouse is as unique as the courses themselves. When I spoke with Mr. Pardue, he assured me that \u201cthere aren\u2019t historical references to the names of the three Mystical Golf courses\u201d, but still I was not convinced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-13249-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/buffalogolfer.com\\\/wordpress\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/12\\\/Man-O-War.jpg?fit=417%2C279\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;13252&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Man-O-War&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;MAN-O-WAR GOLF COURSE&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/buffalogolfer.com\\\/wordpress\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/12\\\/The-Witch-A.jpg?fit=4060%2C2489\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;13253&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The Witch \\u0026#8211; A&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;THE WITCH GOLF COURSE&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/buffalogolfer.com\\\/wordpress\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/12\\\/The-Witch-B.jpg?fit=3928%2C2466\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;13254&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The Witch \\u0026#8211; B&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;THE WITCH GOLF COURSE&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/buffalogolfer.com\\\/wordpress\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/12\\\/The-Wizard-A.jpg?fit=4120%2C2488\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;13255&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The Wizard \\u0026#8211; A&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;THE WIZARD GOLF COURSE&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/buffalogolfer.com\\\/wordpress\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2015\\\/12\\\/The-Wizard-C.jpg?fit=4222%2C2483\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;13256&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;The Wizard \\u0026#8211; C&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;THE WIZARD GOLF COURSE&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.witchgolf.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Witch<\/a><\/u><\/strong><strong> (Viviane the Lady of the Lake)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Witch Golf Club was Mystical\u2019s first course and has been awarded 4 \u00bd stars by Golf Digest. From the moment I arrived, I was graciously greeted at their ominous clubhouse complete with a wraparound deck and roof that eerily resembles a witch\u2019s hat. Claude told me the The Witch is aptly named as \u201cit\u2019s cool and spooky\u201d playing through the wetlands and secluded areas. Every tee block is a hardwood stump recovered from the property, resembling a witch\u2019s face adding to the imagery. Right away I knew I was in for a unique experience.<\/p>\n<p>The Witch is sometimes daunting even evil but without a doubt, the most enchanting of the three courses. It was if Arthur used Excalibur, the finest sword there ever was, to thrash his way through 500 acres of eerie black water wetlands, undisturbed woodlands, and cypress groves. Just like Viviane, this course has two personalities. The front nine is tight and very well treed whereas the back nine is more forgiving with rolling hills and elevated tees. You may never see another golfer on the course, but you could run across alligators, black bears, cranes, bald eagles and deer so don\u2019t be looking for your errant golf ball for too long.<\/p>\n<p>My most memorable hole is probably the 9<sup>th<\/sup>; a dog-leg left where strategy and placement off the tee is essential to have any shot at the green. However, holes 16 through 18 will certainly get your attention.<\/p>\n<p>With over 4,000 feet of bridgework, The Witch is one of the most photogenic and difficult courses you may find in Myrtle Beach. A few words of caution, keep it straight and remember, the Bermuda greens are deceptively slow.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wizardgolfcourse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Wizard<\/a><\/u><\/strong><strong> (Merlin the Magician) <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first thing I noticed as I drove up the long entrance way to The Wizard was the whimsical clubhouse complete with a stone-fa\u00e7ade, stone bridges and a water filled moat. Claude said, \u201cthe Wizard was named due to the castle clubhouse, completing the Scottish theme of the links-style course.\u201d Like Merlin, I feel that Dan Maples has magically transformed a relatively flat piece of property into mounded dunes reminiscent of a British links-style layout.<\/p>\n<p>The fairways are wide and bumpy making it difficult to find a flat lie and the juniper covered mounded rough will surely gobble up some balls as I soon discovered. I found the large bent grass greens to be fast and in near perfect condition plus most were well protected by deep-faced bunkers.<\/p>\n<p>For the first fifteen holes, water is not a factor but that all changes when you reach the 16th. That\u2019s when The Wizard will mesmerize you when you are forced to carry over water on each of your approach shots.<\/p>\n<p>Hole 16 is a long par-4 with water to contend with along the entire right side and a well-guarded two-tiered green. 17 is a spectacular 180-yard par 3 to an island green from an elevated tee. The 18<sup>th<\/sup> is a short par-4 with an island tee and fairway followed by peninsula green that will test every aspect of your game.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these challenges, my favourite had to be the 11th hole, a great risk\/reward Par 5, reachable at 510 yards but only if you hit a solid well-placed drive.<\/p>\n<p>The Wizard has been rated 4 stars by Golf Digest and may be the most player-friendly of the group.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.manowargolfcourse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Man-O-War<\/a><\/u><\/strong><strong> (Lancelot the Warrior)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a child, Sir Lancelot was foster-parented by the \u201cLady of the Lake\u201d in her magic kingdom. He turned out to be the bravest and most formable knight at King Arthur\u2019s court. With a slope of 141, including back-to-back island greens, Man-O-War maybe the toughest of the lot. Queen Guinevere rescued Lancelot from the stake on two different occasions, but it\u2019s too bad she wasn\u2019t here to save me.<\/p>\n<p>Claude assured me that the course is named after the Portuguese Man-O-War fish, and the theme is complimented by the unique fishing camp clubhouse &#8211; a simple wooden and tin-roofed structure reminiscent of a stable barn, partially built on stilts.<\/p>\n<p>The Man-O-War course wraps around sections of a 100-acre lake. Water is evident on every hole, however, with a little skill and a wee bit of \u2018magic\u2019, you can avoid most of the trouble. This 4 star Golf Digest rated course has more of a parkland feel, with wide, inviting fairways but beware, as\u00a0there is plenty of sand and ball smothering rough.<\/p>\n<p>All the courses were in superb condition and a treat to play. The Man-O-War and The Wizard are adjacent to each other, and The Witch is just 10 minutes away. Mystical owns all three courses, located in the heart of Myrtle Beach, less than 15 minutes from the Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR).<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of Stay\u2019N\u2019Play options available depending on where and what type of accommodations you are looking for. Starting from $309USD you can enjoy 3 rounds of golf with cart and stay 3 nights including FREE daily lunch at the courses, 2 FREE beers or beverages with each round, FREE range balls and same day \u201cReplay\u201d on any of the Mystical Golf Courses for cart fee only (based on availability). You will also receive a $15 GIFT CARD for a golf shirt from any Mystical Golf Pro Shop.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Mystical Myrtle (the Witch, Man-O-War and The Wizard) visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mysticalgolf.com\/\">www.mysticalgolf.com<\/a> or call 1-843-282-2977.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3713\" style=\"width: 203px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3713\" class=\" wp-image-3713\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/buffalogolfer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Dave.jpg?resize=193%2C260\" alt=\"Dave Finn\" width=\"193\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/buffalogolfer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Dave.jpg?w=245&amp;ssl=1 245w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/buffalogolfer.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Dave.jpg?resize=222%2C300&amp;ssl=1 222w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 193px) 100vw, 193px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3713\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dave Finn (Dave @ golfinn.com)<\/p><\/div>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally published on 1\/17\/2016 at 7:03 am.
