These challenges aren’t about tricked-up gimmicks—they’re the real-world swings that can unravel your scorecard and send a chill down your spine, especially if you’re a mid- to high-handicapper.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.mbn.com/course/myrtle-beach-national-kings-north">King’s North</a> – The Gambler’s Dilemma</strong><br>The par-5 6th at King’s North—better known as “The Gambler”—presents one of the most anxiety-inducing tee shots in Myrtle Beach. The alternate island fairway begs you to take the aggressive line in pursuit of eagle. But from the tee, those 75 yards of turf look impossibly narrow. One miss, and you’re re-teeing on a par 5, a prospect that could wreck an otherwise solid round. It’s the ultimate risk-reward—and the ultimate pressure shot.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.mbn.com/course/caledonia-golf-and-fish-club">Caledonia’s</a> 16th Hole – A Beauty That Bites</strong><br>Caledonia Golf &amp; Fish Club is renowned for charm and playability, but its 16th hole delivers a different story. This dogleg right par 4 stretches 400 yards from the blue tees, and the approach requires a forced carry over water that laps against the green’s edge. A decent drive still leaves a 160-yard shot that must be struck solid. There’s no room for nerves, only commitment. Slip up here, and your hopes of a low number can vanish into the pond.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.mbn.com/course/long-bay-golf-club">Long Bay’s</a> 18th Hole – A Closing Test of Nerves</strong><br>Jack Nicklaus designed Long Bay’s finishing hole to be a true closer. At 368 yards from the white tees, it’s short on paper, but the lake guarding the dogleg and wrapping around the green dictates every decision. Tee shots often drift too far left, leaving a punishing approach. And when the flag is tucked on the right side, a mid-iron toward water is the last swing you want to make under pressure. Many rounds have ended here in heartbreak. <em>(Long Bay&#8217;s 18th top photo)</em></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.mbn.com/course/pine-lakes-country-club">Pine Lakes’</a> 3rd Hole – The Sneaky Monster</strong><br>Don’t let Pine Lakes Country Club’s reputation for tradition and grace fool you. Its third hole is a brute. At 426 yards, this par 4 plays more like a par 4.5 for most. A 250-yard drive still leaves a demanding approach to a green fronted and flanked by water. The fairway narrows dangerously near the green, forcing accuracy under pressure. It’s the course’s toughest hole and one that can derail your round before it even gets going.</p>
