I played Prestwick Country Club, Pete Dye's first in Myrtle Beach, a few weeks back in January.  The course was in pretty good condition overall.  The greens rolled true (as well as they will when I putt anyway) and the fairways were manicured so the ball generally sat up well for a good lie when I hit it in the fairway.  This time of the year Prestwick keeps the rough dormant so the lighter colored rough provides a great look against the green fairways.

 

For those of you that have not played Prestwick I would highly recommend it at least once.  For the high handicapper some holes won't provide that much enjoyment because of length but overall, believe it or not, there are plenty of holes that are fair to the average golfer.  Of course you're going to find the signature railroad planks, the deep bunkers, elevated greens and massive mounding but all of those things are what make the course uniquely Dye.  Holes 9 and 18 always provide a great look from the clubhouse porch, but they also inspire a fair amount of fear when you're on the tee box on the other end of the holes. 

Prestwick's staff and facilities are rated in my book on the good-excellent to excellent ranking.  The course probably falls into my top 20 of the over the 100 I have played in Myrtle Beach.
