Distinguished by dramatic elevation changes reminiscent of the North Carolina sand hills, Tiger’s Eye Golf Links was carved from pristine pine and hardwood forest. The course features natural waste areas, native grasses, preserved wetlands, and even a coquina-bouldered waterfall at the 18th tee. A true shot-maker’s test, it demands precise iron play and a deft short game. Renovations in 2017 added new TifEagle® greens. Long considered a Myrtle Beach legend, Tiger’s Eye has been ranked among Golf Digest’s “Top 100 Public Courses in America” and #3 in the “Top 50 Courses in Myrtle Beach.”
Leopard’s Chase Golf Club, the newest of Ocean Ridge Plantation’s Big Cats, has earned honors as one of the “Top 10 Best New Public Courses in America” and a spot among “America’s Top 50 Public Courses.” Its 18 holes feature dramatic elevation changes, forced carries over preserved wetlands, generous landing areas, and impeccably smooth L-93 bentgrass greens. Throughout the round, players enjoy varied terrain and striking natural vistas. The experience concludes at the 18th green, highlighted by a stunning waterfall that frames your final shot.
Lion’s Paw Golf Links, the original Big Cat at Ocean Ridge Plantation, remains one of Myrtle Beach’s most popular layouts. Often considered Willard Byrd’s best design, it features a formidable set of par 3s and plenty of scoring challenges. A recent MiniVerde® greens renovation has given the course some of the area’s best putting surfaces. Come chase birdies with this Big Cat on your next Grand Strand golf trip.
Panther’s Run Golf Links winds through a pristine nature preserve, offering a wild and scenic challenge from start to finish. This Big Cats favorite features rolling fairways, deep bunkers, and fast, true TifEagle® greens. Take aim at the heart of this fierce layout—conquer it, and you’ll live to play another day.
