Grande Dunes Resort Course and The Wizard each made significant jumps in the monthly rankings for Myrtle Beach Golf Insider, but the top eight courses remained unchanged in the July 2012 online edition. The top 25 was reported by www.mbgolfinsider.com this week, based on more than 450 independent post-play reviews for the previous month from visiting golfers.

	Golfers are asked to use a 10-point scale to relay their experience in six categories: pro shop, grill, staff, fairways, tees and greens.  The total number of reviews for each course breaks ties.

	Grande Dunes, which jumped to No. 15, is currently undergoing a change to Champion Bermuda greens. The course will be closed for play until late August.

	At The Wizard, which improved to No. 16, head golf professional Steve Haines noted the lush bent grass greens.

	“We overseed so everything is very green right now, and our bent greens are in great condition,” said Haines. “The Wizard is a very pretty course, and the last three holes are quite challenging.”

	The unbiased reviews are available to golfers before booking their tee times. The Myrtle Beach Golf Insider Top 25 represents a broad consensus of opinion based on thousands of golfer reviews. More than 14,000 independent reviews have been recorded since 2010, according to Jim Maggio, Golf Insider editor.

	“Through many websites, golfers are seeing much more than price points and special offers,” Maggio said. “The online booking engines also bring these reviews front and center as part of the decision-making process. It has driven the growth of Golf Insider and its impact on the Myrtle Beach golf market.”
