Legendary Holes, Right Here in Myrtle Beach: Meet World Tour Golf Links

World Tour Golf Links gives golfers the rare chance to experience holes inspired by some of the most famous courses in the world, all without leaving Myrtle Beach. From St. Andrews and Royal Troon to other legendary championship venues, this is one of the Grand Strand’s most unique rounds.

Why World Tour Golf Links Stands Out Start Here

For golf fans who watched Brian Harman claim the 2023 Open Championship, it is easy to dream about playing an Open Championship-style course. In Myrtle Beach, that dream gets much closer.

At World Tour Golf Links, golfers can play holes inspired by legendary venues from around the world, including courses associated with The Open Championship, The Masters, the U.S. Open, and the PGA Championship. The course brings the strategy, visuals, and familiar design cues of famous golf holes into one Myrtle Beach round.

The Championship Course #3 Postage Stamp

Inspired by Royal Troon’s 8th Hole Short but Serious

The Championship Course #3 is inspired by the 8th hole at Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland, better known as the “Postage Stamp.” It is famous for being short on the scorecard but demanding with the club in your hands.

The challenge starts with the green. The putting surface is tiny, slopes downhill, and is protected by bunkers on both sides. A pair of bunkers guards the left side, while three more wait on the right.

It is the kind of hole that makes golfers pause for a second before pulling the club. The number may look friendly, but the target is anything but generous.

The Open Course #1 St. Andrews Inspiration

Inspired by the Opening Hole at St. Andrews Wide Open Start

The Open Course #1 pays tribute to the opening hole at the Old Course at St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland. Like the original, this hole gives golfers a generous landing area off the tee.

The fairway is extremely broad, a nod to one of the widest and most forgiving opening tee shots in golf. But the approach shot asks a sharper question.

A small waterway, similar to the Swilcan Burn, runs across the front of the green. Shots that come up short, or land on the front and spin back, can quickly turn a comfortable start into a scorecard wrinkle.

The Open Course #9 Legendary Finish

Inspired by the Closing Hole at St. Andrews Iconic Finish

The Open Course #9 is another tribute to St. Andrews, this time inspired by the famous closing hole at the birthplace of golf.

This hole shares a wide fairway with the Open Course #1 and features a replica of the iconic stone bridge over the Swilcan Burn. It is one of the best photo spots at World Tour and one of the reasons golfers remember the round.

The green slopes steeply from right to left, while the front-left portion is guarded by a deep depression known as the “Valley of Sin.” A slightly missed approach can leave a delicate recovery, just as the original does.
