Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Man O' War's design truly stand out from other Myrtle Beach courses?

Man O' War is famous for its incredible island greens and water hazards on nearly every hole - it's a truly unique, all-water layout you won't find anywhere else in the area. You'll need precision and a good short game to conquer this one, but it's an unforgettable challenge.

If I'm playing both The Wizard and Man O' War, which course should I play first for the best experience?

We recommend starting with Man O' War to tackle its distinct water-heavy challenge first, then moving to The Wizard. The Wizard offers a fantastic contrast with its links-style mounding and Scottish feel, providing a great change of pace for your second round.

When is the best time of year to visit The Wizard and Man O' War for ideal playing conditions and fewer crowds?

For the best weather and slightly lighter crowds, aim for late spring (April-May) or early fall (September-October). You'll find the courses in prime condition, though Myrtle Beach is always popular, so booking tee times in advance is a must.

Are The Wizard and Man O' War suitable for all skill levels, or are they more challenging?

Man O' War is definitely a test, especially if you're not comfortable hitting over water frequently; it demands accuracy. The Wizard is a bit more forgiving with wider fairways, but its mounding and strategic bunkering still require thoughtful play from golfers of all handicaps.

What's one practical tip for navigating the signature holes at Man O' War, especially with all that water?

On Man O' War's island greens, like the par-3 15th, don't be a hero - club down if you need to, and aim for the center of the green. Playing for the fat part of the green and taking a two-putt is always better than fishing your ball out of the lake.
