The golf course was constructed as a complement to the famed Ocean Forest Hotel and was to be a playground for the rich and famous. Upon the destruction of the hotel, the golf course at Pine Lakes was the only thing remaining. The course has been remodeled over the years and has evolved from the original 27-hole layout to an 18-hole course which is currently on the National Register of Historical Places.

For the new era of Pine Lakes, Craig Schreiner was contracted to redesign the course. His passion for the game and its architecture is a natural fit in maintaining the historical integrity associated with Robert White’s original design.

Highlights of the new Pine Lakes:

• Maintained the Scottish theme in the golf course architecture and operations
• Corridors of 16 former holes remained unchanged with two new holes built on north end of property to accommodate a new entrance
• The corridors of the nine holes constructed in the 1920’s stayed almost entirely in tact (new holes 10-18)
• SeaDwarf Paspalum grass will be introduced to Myrtle Beach. This type of grass can be irrigated with water high in salt and requires less irrigation and fertilizer than traditional varieties
• Bunker sand will be mined from the site, similar to the process for Scottish links courses
• Completely new pump station and irrigation system was installed
• Contour changes have been established to channel storm water into additional catch basins with a completely new underground drainage system
