When you think about Myrtle Beach and the game of golf, it’s impossible not to think about the impact of Wesley Bryan and George Bryan.
From junior golf memories to professional competition — and plenty of stories in between — Myrtle Beach has played a major role in their journey.
Here are some of the Bryan Bros’ favorite courses in the Myrtle Beach area — each with a story that makes it special.
The Dunes Golf & Beach Club is one of the most iconic and historic courses in Myrtle Beach. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., the course has hosted numerous high-level events and is consistently ranked among the top layouts in South Carolina.
For the Bryan Bros, it represents a step onto a bigger stage.
Both Wesley and George competed here during the inaugural Myrtle Beach Classic, bringing their game to a course known for demanding precision and creativity. The layout features wide fairways paired with strategic bunkering and water hazards, highlighted by the famous 13th hole, “Waterloo,” which plays dramatically along the Intracoastal Waterway.
At the Dunes Club, every shot matters — and every round feels like a championship.
At Arrowhead Country Club, the story goes back to the beginning.
Located along the Intracoastal Waterway, Arrowhead features 27 holes designed by Raymond Floyd and Tom Jackson, offering a mix of scenic views, water-lined fairways, and approachable yet challenging play for golfers of all skill levels.
This is where George Bryan won his first golf tournament as a kid — a milestone moment that helped spark a lifelong competitive drive.
Arrowhead is known for being both playable and memorable, making it a favorite for locals and visitors alike. For George, it’s more than just a course — it’s where the journey began.
The Myrtle Beach National Golf Club — specifically the West Course — is one of the most respected tournament venues in the area.
Designed by Arnold Palmer, the West Course is known for its traditional layout, tree-lined fairways, and strategic shot values that reward consistency and course management. It’s a course that doesn’t overwhelm you with difficulty, but quietly demands focus on every shot.
Both Wesley and George competed here in the George Holliday Memorial Junior Golf Tournament, one of the premier junior events in the region.
This is where competitive habits are built — where players learn how to manage pressure, post scores, and compete over multiple rounds.
For the Bryan Bros, Myrtle Beach National represents the grind that shaped their game.
For George, the story extends beyond just one course — it lives in Pawleys Island at both Caledonia Golf & Fish Club and True Blue Golf Club.
Designed by Mike Strantz, these sister courses offer two completely different — yet equally memorable — experiences. Caledonia is known for its timeless Lowcountry beauty, with oak-lined fairways, Spanish moss, and one of the most iconic finishing holes in golf. Just across the road, True Blue presents a bold contrast, featuring wide fairways, expansive waste areas, and a more modern, visually striking layout that encourages aggressive play.
Together, they showcase the full range of Strantz’s design style — one rooted in tradition, the other in creativity and scale.
For George, this area holds personal significance. It’s where he was married — and where he spent time playing these courses leading up to his wedding day.
Not every golf memory is about competition.
Some are about life.
And in Pawleys Island, both Caledonia and True Blue represent moments that go far beyond the game.
At Barefoot Resort & Golf – Love Course, the story takes a turn — in true Bryan Bros fashion.
Designed by Davis Love III, the Love Course is known for its wide fairways, bold green complexes, and visually striking holes, including a dramatic finishing stretch that challenges players to execute under pressure.
During a round here, Wesley Bryan famously “broke the course record.”
There’s just one catch.
He moved a tee box up… and turned a hole into a drivable par 4.
So the real question is:
Does it count?
Whether it does or not, it perfectly captures the Bryan Bros’ personality — blending creativity, competition, and fun in a way that makes the game more entertaining for everyone.
From junior tournaments to professional competition…
From life milestones to unforgettable moments…
These courses represent more than just places to play.
They represent the journey.
And that’s what makes Myrtle Beach special.
It’s not just about the number of courses — it’s about the stories that come from them.
For the Bryan Bros, these courses helped shape who they are today.
For the next generation of golfers, they’re waiting to do the same.
