Caledonia/ True Blue "Honors Package"

[Tlaughlin479]

Hey guys,

 

I'm trying to plan a myrtle beach golf trip for my dad and I. I've looked through previous threads and found that the general consensus is that True Blue, Caledonia, and The Dunes are the best courses at Myrtle. I ran across this package, the honors package, that looks attractive. Has anyone ever booked this package, and if so, how did you like it? Thanks in advance.

New “Honors Package” Allows Golfers to Play 7 Top 100 Golf Courses

Each round of the trip will be played on a Top 100 course as golfers will play Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, Dunes Club, two of Barefoot Resort’s three top 100 layouts – Dye, Fazio or Love courses – Grande Dunes Resort Course, Tidewater Golf Club and True Blue Golf Club as part of the star-studded offer.

The package will be almost as good off the course as golfers will be staying at Marina Inn, the Myrtle Beach area’s only 4-Diamond property. The package starts at $1,195 and will also include breakfast each morning at Marina Inn, daily lunch at the course, and a pair of dinners at the acclaimed Waterscapes restaurant.

“The Honors Package is for players who want to experience the best the game has to offer while enjoying the virtues of Myrtle Beach off the course,” said Bob Seganti, Director of Operations at True Blue and Caledonia. “The Honors Package brings together some of the greatest courses in all of America, giving golfers an opportunity to experience them on a dream golf vacation. “

Caledonia, a consensus top 100 public course, according to Golf Digest, Golf Magazine and Golf Channel, was Mike Strantz’ first solo design. From the drive through Oak Alley to an unforgettable 19th Hole, Caledonia is one of the game’s most unforgettable courses.

Ranked among America’s top 100 public courses by Golf Digest, Golf Magazine and Golf Channel, Dunes Club is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design that was the driving force behind Myrtle Beach’s emergence as a national golf destination. The course has hosted 6 Senior PGA Tour Championships, among numerous other high profile events.

The longtime host of the Hootie & the Blowfish Monday After the Masters Celebrity Pro-Am, the Dye Course has been ranked among America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses.

The home of the championship match on Big Break Myrtle Beach, the Fazio Course has been ranked among America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses and is, by consensus, one of the area’s best tests of golf.

The former host of the PGA Professional National Championship, Grande Dunes has seven holes that play along the Intracoastal Waterway, providing stunning visuals to a layout that has been ranked among America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses.

The Love Course, a DLIII design, has been ranked among the nation’s top 100 public courses by Golf Digest and Golf Magazine and is renowned for its creativity and playability. The faux ruins on the fourth hole alone make it an unforgettable round.

The first course ever named best new public course by Golf Magazine and Golf Digest, Tidewater has graced every major top 100 list and is among the prettiest golf courses in the United States.

Golf Channel and Golf Magazine have True Blue ranked among America’s top 100 public courses and the reasons are many. The course is a visual and creative masterpiece designed by Mike Strantz.

The Marina Inn, with its elegant and oversized rooms, overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway and has the amenities to match its elegance. There are three restaurants onsite with Ruths Chris and Anchor Café, a great happy hour spot, joining Waterscapes, a Mediterranean-themed restaurant specializing in fresh, local seafood.

While it’s not included in the cost of the trip, Marina Inn staff can arrange for car service to transport your group to and from the course each day, eliminating the hassle of driving.

I have not booked the passage, but have played all of the listed courses. They are definitely the best in the area.

Never booked that package but played the courses and you wont be disappointed.

They are all great top MB courses.   The price will vary based on when you go, 
how many rounds, how many nights and which courses you play. 
 
True Blue + BF Dye are love or hate designs.   Play Grande Dunes, since you are 
right there, The Dunes, Caledonia and Tidewater.   If more days, then add 
TB, BF Fazio.       If a short trip, skipping TB saves you the 1 hour drive.  
 
The interesting packages usually don't save much $$ compared to picking your 
lodging and courses separately.   The buy 3 rounds get a free round packages 
do save the cost of the 4th round.

The link is right after his first paragraph.  
 
You don't need that pkg to play the premium courses.  
You may want some premium courses and some not so premium courses. 
The description has you staying at the Marina Inn, which is expensive lodging.  
You can play those courses and pick other lodging, IE True Blue or Myrtlewood
condos, which will cost a lot less than Marina Inn, which has more luxury.

I haven't booked that package.  Played a couple courses though.  That will be an awesome trip with the Old Man!
