<p>Golfers love to debate their favorite holes — the par 3 that tests your nerve, the reachable par 5 that rewards bold play, or the scenic par 4 that lingers in your memory. But sometimes, the real magic of a course isn’t in a single hole — it’s in a stretch where two in a row combine to deliver an unforgettable mix of beauty, challenge, and character.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="295">
<p>In Myrtle Beach, where more than 90 courses compete for your attention, a few of these back-to-back moments rise above the rest. From marshland carries to postcard-worthy waterway views, these three two-hole stretches perfectly capture what makes golf along the Grand Strand so special.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.mbn.com/course/pawleys-plantation">Pawleys Plantation Golf Club</a> – Holes 16 &amp; 17</strong><br>There are a handful of candidates at Pawleys Plantation that could make this list, but the par-4 16th and par-3 17th are in a class of their own.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="258">
<p>The 16th is a dogleg left that tempts you to hug the corner for a shorter approach. But the real reward comes as you make the turn and the horizon opens to a breathtaking expanse of salt marsh — the defining feature of Pawleys’ iconic back nine.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="279">
<p>From there, the 17th turns up the drama. This par 3 plays directly across the marsh to a green guarded by both water and wind. It’s one of the prettiest shots in Myrtle Beach, but beauty comes with a challenge — miss short and your ball is headed to the tidal flats.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="181">
<p>These two holes capture everything that makes Pawleys Plantation unforgettable: strategic shot-making, natural beauty, and a touch of risk. <em>(Pawleys 17th pictured)</em></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.mbn.com/course/tidewater-golf-club-plantation">Tidewater Golf Club</a> – Holes 12 &amp; 13</strong><br>Tidewater is widely regarded as one of the most visually stunning courses in South Carolina, and holes 12 and 13 show exactly why.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="227">
<p>The par-3 12th demands a carry over pristine marshland toward a green framed by towering pines and sweeping Lowcountry views. It’s the kind of hole that makes you reach for your camera before you reach for your club.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="319">
<p>Then comes the par-5 13th, a strategic test that winds its way along the marsh, with Cherry Grove peeking through in the distance. You’ll need to think your way through every shot — laying up short of hazards, finding the right angle into the green, and managing the breeze that always seems to be in play.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="166">
<p>Together, 12 and 13 are a perfect encapsulation of Tidewater’s appeal: scenic beauty matched with demanding golf. <em>(Tidewater 12th top, 13th right)</em></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.mbn.com/course/grande-dunes">Grande Dunes Resort Club</a> – Holes 14 &amp; 15</strong><br>Grande Dunes has long been celebrated for its championship layout, but the stretch along the Intracoastal Waterway is what truly sets it apart.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="269">
<p>The par-3 14th features an elevated tee that provides a panoramic view of the waterway, the green, and the distant boats drifting by. It’s the kind of view that makes you slow down and soak in the moment — until you remember you still have to hit the shot.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="266">
<p>From there, the par-4 15th keeps the water in sight, running parallel to the waterway with a fairway that rewards precision off the tee. The approach is equally memorable, with the green perched against one of the most scenic backdrops in Myrtle Beach golf.</p>
</div>
