Tidewater Golf Club, one of Myrtle Beach’s courses, has completed an extensive bunker renovation as the Club continues to enhance playability and aesthetics.
The greenside bunker renovation project, which started in fall 2024, included the renovation of all greenside bunkers, repaired drainage, reshaped bunkers for increased playability and aesthetic benefits, and renovated several fairway bunkers to improve sight lines and reduce hidden hazards. All the renovation work was done without impacting daily play at the ever-popular Club that is managed by KemperSports.
“We are very excited about the work and the positive impact the new bunkers will have on the long-term health of the course,” said General Manager Chris Cooper. “The entire project has gone smoothly with very little impact to daily play.”
Located in North Myrtle Beach along the picturesque Carolina coastline and nestled between the Intracoastal Waterway and Cherry Grove Inlet, Tidewater Golf Club -designed by local architect Ken Tomlinson – has received rave reviews since i opened in 1990.
In 2022, the course was named South Carolina’s Golf Course of the Year by the South Carolina Golf Course Owners Association.
While the course tips out at more than 7,000 yards, nine of Tidewater’s 18 holes play along the water to provide a one-of-a-kind golf experience. One of Tidewater’s most distinguishing features is the unparalleled preservation of the surrounding natural environment. Thoughtfully designed to coexist harmoniously with the local flora and fauna, Tidewater provides an immersive golfing experience through the natural Lowcountry landscape while maintaining the ecological integrity of the area.
