Blackmoor Golf Club south of Myrtle Beach, S.C. offers a string of surprises
MURRELLS INLET, S.C. -- Blackmoor Golf Club, a Gary Player signature course on the south end of the Grand Strand, is a string of surprises -- many in the form of daring doglegs that entice you to go for it.
The golf course is kept in great shape. It's a fun traipse through tall pines, past fairway bunkers and up, down and around mounds and swales.
