Love Course Highlights World Am
Barefoot Love, Highlights New Courses For 2010 The Love Course at Barefoot Resort will host the World Am for the first time in 2010. If you tell a friend you are taking a golf trip to Myrtle Beach, the question that typically follows is, “Where are you playing?” For Golf.com World Amateur Handicap Championship players the answer to that query is, “The best courses Myrtle Beach has to offer.” Course assignments won’t be made until August, but the list of layouts competing in this year’s event is complete and it reads like a Who’s Who of Grand Strand golf. Tidewater, King’s North, Grande Dunes, Leopard’s Chase, Glen Dornoch, Rivers Edge and True Blue are just a sampling of the courses that will again return to the World Am rotation. “The Golf.com World Amateur Handicap Championship takes great pride in making sure players get to play some of the nation’s best courses,” Dave Macpherson, the tournament director, said. “The experience on the golf course is at the heart of what makes this event special and the participation of Myrtle Beach’s best courses is a big reason why.” One of the biggest additions to this year’s lineup is the Love Course at Barefoot Resort, which will be hosting all four days of the tournament. The Love Course, which has been ranked among America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses, and has the #1 Ranking for the 2005 Golf Digest Myrtle Beach Category, is hosting the tournament for the first time, joining the other three layouts at Barefoot, The Norman, Fazio and Dye Courses as part of the World Am team. The Love Course has been one of Myrtle Beach’s most popular courses since it opened 10 years ago, and is famously home to the recreated ruins of an old plantation home.
