Straight holes are for practice rounds. If you really want to test your game — and maybe your patience — Myrtle Beach’s doglegs are where things get interesting. A good dogleg doesn’t just ask you to hit it far, it asks you to think, and these holes have a way of punishing golfers who try to shortcut the strategy. Here are the doglegs around the Grand Strand that locals still talk about long after the round is over.
