Indigo Creek Golf Club in Murrells Inlet, S.C.: A fun course that demands a gentle approach
MURRELLS INLET, S.C. -- Indigo Creek Golf Club, a Willard Byrd-designed course, is a fun romp in tight quarters.
Indigo Creek doles out chance after chance to card some birdies, with sharp doglegs left and right, some wickedly short par 5s and straight-as-an-arrow par 4s. There are, however, risks with those rewards. In between you and your best round ever are dozens of bunkers, lots of water and even more out-of-bounds areas.
This is a golf course that demands a gentle approach. If you hesitate to use your driver, trust your instincts and go for a more accurate club. You'll be glad you did when you circle your score.
