Myrtle Beach Golf Videos

Hey everyone, Salty and I are at Pine Lakes Country Club, one of the oldest golf courses in Myrtle Beach. We're getting ready to go out there and play some of our favorite holes. Salty, I'm excited.

Yeah, little three-hole match, me and you. See who gets it done today. Like you said, the oldest golf course—1927. Super excited. A lot of history inside and outside. We're going to show you all that, and uh, let’s go get it done.

Yeah, let’s go do it. Follow along.

Salty, this is wide open.
Yeah, thankfully. I'm glad it's wide open. Good shot. Got a little fade on it, but that will work. I do love hole number 10, though, because it reminds me of a lot of the golf courses I grew up on because this golf course is so old. It is—this was built in 1927. But this is the type of course I grew up on, playing golf in the 80s and 90s. A lot of wide-open courses like this where if you hit the ball, you actually could hit it into another fairway and still be good—still be okay.

That's exactly right. Oh, I love this though. I really do. It's wide open. It's a good hole to start on.
Oh, it really is.

Oh yeah. Oh, baby—right down the middle.
Yes. I'll take that. Loving it. But she’s, you know, she’s an LPGA Tour professional. She does this for a living. I just sell merchandise and get to play every once in a while. So, Pine Lakes, man—it’s really good. I’m excited to be out here today. Let’s go see what we can do.

All right, par five. This is a long hole. Long hole. We’re just gonna hit a little seven-iron here, keep it in play, and see if we can get it down there at the bottom of the fairway.

Oh, that was nice. You hit that—you hit down and through on that. That was solid. The contact on the face sounded really nice.
It’s okay. Now we just got to go find it and hit it again. All right, Meredith, you’re right down the middle.

Meredith, what’s gotten into you today?
I don’t know. I’m hitting it solid though. Goodness gracious.
I like it. Good shot.
Thanks. Really good.

I like the plaid. This reminds me of—here at Pine Lakes in their pro shop, they have their cool plaid hats. It's kind of their theme here.
I played high school golf with this golf bag.
No way.
Yep.
Salty!
Yeah, and it does kind of fit Pine Lakes.
It totally fits Pine Lakes. That is so cool. Yeah, it's an old bag but still looks good.

Oh, it's left, Meredith. Way left.
It's okay though. You know what the great thing about Pine Lakes is? Like I said, there’s room over there. You might be on the other fairway, but you're still on a fairway somewhere. That was hit so good, too. That is not what I wanted. Look at that—right to the right. Right on the right. We need to go in separate directions here.

Oh, Salty… I mean, I was doing really well up until that.
It's all right. It's all right.

Strategy: If you can putt it, will you always putt it?
I will always putt it—if I can putt it.
Do you hear that, folks? This is a LPGA pro. If you can putt it, putt it. You don't have to get fancy with a 60-degree or whatever—open the face and try to hit some crazy shot when you're probably going to blade it across the green. If you can putt it, putt it.

All right, everyone—if you’re having fun watching the Salty Golfer and me play at Pine Lakes Country Club, don’t forget to like, subscribe, comment below. Let us know—Salty, stop it—let us know what your favorite hole is here at Pine Lakes. We want to hear from you, Salty.

Oh, looks good. Looks nice. A little long.
All right, Salty—little long.
Sorry. We'll take it.

Here it comes. It’s got to slow down. Hit it. Hit it.
Oh, it's pretty good.
That's not bad. It was too firm. It was too firm, but look where you putted from—that was massive. That was so short that I was comfortable putting, but wow, these greens are fast, Salty.

Oh, all right. Not a bad roll.
It's all right.
How do you feel like the speed was?
Pretty good.
Yeah, it's moving, isn’t it? They’re moving pretty good.

Oh!
Well, good par.
Thank you. Really good.

All right, par four, hole 13. I think this is the longest par four on the course by two yards. Second longest—excuse me.

That looks good. You cleared the… well, I can't tell. I can't tell.
I think you're okay.
Oh, I hope I'm okay. It was moving. It was moving kind of right to that second body of water, but I think you're good.
We'll see. We’ll see.

Meredith, the driver is dialed. Right down the pipe.
Yeah, that was pretty good. Really good. Really good.

Well, we stopped short of the water—thank goodness. We still have 180-plus yards in.

Actually… actually that’s really good. What an awesome miss. Wow. That’s miss of the day. Miss of the day! Miss of the day—that’s a new episode we’re going to start having on this channel: The Miss of the Day.

All right, Meredith—miss right down the middle. 140 to the flag.

Little right, but get back there.
Going left though.
Good shot. I’m gonna get the birdie. Good shot.

So, look what Salty gave me—it’s a Salty Golfer ball marker. How cool is that? He’s going to try to chip it. I think he probably should have just putted that shot, but let’s see what he does here.

Oh, that looks okay. That's the club for you. Okay, that’s better. Better. Still probably six feet, but this is my birdie putt. I hope it goes in.

So, if I make this putt, Salty is going to give me a hint—
Yeah—
—of the next two beers he’s coming out with. The flavors. A lot riding on this putt. If she makes it… you want it in or out?

We haven’t confirmed the actual flavors of the next Salty Golfer beer, but there’s a lot of speculation. We’ve kind of narrowed it down. So if she makes this putt, then I'm gonna have to give her some insider-trading information.

Oh my gosh. You’ve got to be kidding me. That is so—
She was coming after it, too. She thought she hooped it.
Wow. I thought—
What a tease. What a tease. What a putt. Good par, man. Really good.
I wanted that so bad.

All right.
I wonder if you’d pulled the flag if it would’ve stayed in.
Who knows?

Oh, almost. Hit it. Almost.

Well, Meredith’s even par and I'm plus two through two. This is pathetic.
Hey, guess what? It's not over yet. I'm going for that birdie on the next hole.

All right, hole 14. Signature hole. Gorgeous golf hole. We’ve got the pro shop in the background here. Over those hotels is the ocean, which I'm sure there’ll be a cool drone shot of at some point. And uh—yeah. Just make sure that drone shot—

Sorry!
Sorry. You stole my soul, man—that’s awesome. You can leave that in if you want.

This is one of my favorite holes to photograph and take my drone out on. Really cool hole. Glad we get to play it today and glad we get to show it to you guys. Here we go.

Oh yeah. Finally! Woo! Let’s go.
Cut to that—you just… that was like an arrow.
Almost hit Kyle with my teeth. Struck that so well.

I always tell golfers that when they're coming to Myrtle Beach, you need to play Pine Lakes first.
Yeah.
Because it gives you that sense of history. I mean, this course was the first one built—1927. If you catch it on the right day, you might get some bagpipers.
Yep.
And you might get some clam chowder. Or if it's a hot summer day, they have mimosas out here. It's really cool. And you get that taste of history before you start playing the other Myrtle Beach courses.

God, put a string on it.

I'm out of my league today, boys. Meredith brought her A-game, and I brought my like triple-D game. Course management is what I'm not known for. But you see where my ball is—right before the lake. Course management.

Ooh, that looks good.

Nice, Salty. Okay—right there on the front of the green. Perfect. We gave ourselves a chance for birdie.

Well, you did the opposite of thin—you went chunky.
Chunky. Chunky. Chunky monkey.
How do you like your peanut butter?
Chunky.
She chunked it.
I didn’t chunk it. I'm on the green. I'm playing.
I chunked it. Look at my club—chunky.
She opened the door.

Nice. I wanted that one kind of high and soft. Maybe a little long, but still—a chance at par. Makes you feel good.

All right, just putting for par. Got to get here. Come on. Come on. Got to get here. Come on.
Wow. Good roll, Meredith.

All right, so that’s a bogey, right?
Yeah, bogey.
If I make birdie here, we tie.
Correct. You were two.
Yes. So if you make birdie, we’ll be square.

Oh, what a horrible effort.
Woohoo! I got you by one stroke! Woohoo!
Still got to make this.
Oh, that’s right. You still have to make it.

I was going to give it to you.
That's all right—you’ve got to earn it. And I wanted you to earn that one.

All right. Well, you beat me fair and square. Good job.
That was fun.
That was fun. A lot of fun.

Pine Lakes, everybody—the first course here. Come play it. It’s the best.
It is. It’s got to be the first course you play.
Yeah.
Where do they go to sign up to play this golf course?
I mean, the only place to go—MyrtleBeachGolfTrips.com. You can book Pine Lakes right there and get the best rate. Seriously—the best rate.
Yeah, I dig it.

All right, get out here, play Pine Lakes. We'll see you next time.
See you, Salty.

Isn’t this amazing?
Yeah, it’s great. It’s the perfect clubhouse. It’s fantastic. It's gorgeous. So much history. And then look at what we have here—this is the Hall of Fame. Amazing people in golf who are honored here at Pine Lakes.

And look—Dustin Johnson. DJ.
Yeah.
He's Coastal Carolina.
Mhm.
Has a really good tournament here every year at TPC Myrtle Beach. Made a huge impact on golf in Myrtle Beach. Major winner.
Yeah. He’s done it all.

Hootie & the Blowfish, right?
Yeah. For over two decades they hosted that Monday After the Masters tournament and raised so much money. Made such an impact—and that’s still going on.
Yeah, it is. It still carries on to this day, for sure. Really great band. Pretty good music, too.

And then we have so many other amazing men in golf here. This guy right here—Jim Woodring—he actually was my mentor when I got into the golf business on the marketing side. He became my mentor. When people book golf trips—he kind of invented this whole thing, right? Those packages, getting good deals—yeah, he was the spearhead behind the whole thing. He was brilliant.

Yeah, that’s really cool. They’ve all contributed in amazing ways, right? A plant pathologist—fantastic. It’s awesome.

So I see there’s an empty spot here. Is that for you?
Possibly. Maybe one day.

What would it say?
Um, I don’t know. Oh no, that’s a loaded question. Whew—yeah. Loaded question. But they’ve got some spots saved.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I think I could see you here one day.
Really?
Yeah. I would probably be way further down several years from now, but maybe possibly.
I think you’d be in like the main section. I'd be in the honorable-mention section.

So who do we have over here?
Oh, just so many amazing other people, but one in particular—let’s talk about Mr. Robert White here. He helped design Pine Lakes. This course was designed in 1927—the oldest course we have in Myrtle Beach—and he designed it. He was the original architect. How cool is that?
That's so cool.

And the golf course’s nickname is “The Granddaddy,” which is so cool. I think having that much golf history here in Myrtle Beach—some people don’t realize how much history we have. We are the golf capital of the world, obviously. So it's really cool. Not only can you play golf here—you can get a history lesson.
Exactly.

And then you go inside and there’s an entire room dedicated to more incredible history, including what we talked about out on the course—Sports Illustrated was founded here. And you can see all that on the inside. So it's really worth spending some time out here. The food is great, by the way—so you can go have a great meal before you tee off, go check out the inside history hall, the outdoor Hall of Fame we have here. It's really cool.

That’s why I keep saying this needs to be the first stop golfers make when they come to play golf. You don’t need to be in a hurry when you get here. Play golf.
