Joining the Dunes Club (No. 3), Caledonia (No. 5) and True Blue (No. 6) on the list of the Palmetto’s State’s best are Tidewater Golf Club (No. 7), Heritage Club (No. 8), Moorland Course at Legends Resort (No. 11), Dye Course at Barefoot Resort (No. 12), King’s North at Myrtle Beach National (No. 13) and TPC Myrtle Beach (No. 14).
