If you’re craving a break from the tree-lined fairways that dominate the Myrtle Beach golf scene, The Wizard Golf Club offers a refreshing and imaginative change of pace. Built on a once-flat tract of Carolina swamp, The Wizard is a Scottish-inspired links course where elevation, mounding, and wide open visuals take center stage.

This is not your typical coastal track—and that’s exactly why golfers keep coming back.

The Golfer’s Review

The Wizard is one of the more fun and unique rounds in Myrtle Beach. You feel like you’ve been transported to a different golf world, with firm landing zones and wide sightlines that encourage aggressive play. I’ve always found the course in great condition, and the wind can really add to the links-like experience. Hole 17, with its island-style green, is a standout.

Pro Tip: Bring your bump-and-run game. The open approaches and mounded greens reward a low, links-style shot around the greens.
