The challenges at Possum Trot are straightforward and the greens don’t require a book to read, helping make the layout a player-friendly one from the jump. 

Our Myrtle Beach Golf Hole of The week showcases the best of Possum Trot, providing a challenge without overwhelming players. 

 

 

No. 13 – Possum Trot
Par:
3
Yardage: 203 yards (blue tees), 163 yards (white tees), 115 yards (gold tees), 106 yards (red tees)
Handicap: 9

On a course that doesn’t feature an abundance of water, it’s the defining trait on Possum Trot’s most memorable hole. The 13th is named, appropriately, “Analysis is Paralysis.”

In a game that often rewards the thinking man, that’s not the case on Possum Trot’s signature hole. A lake threatens from tee to green and the length of the hole (163 yards from the white tees) adds to the challenge, but there is some room to miss to the right. 

Don’t stand on the tee and overthink the shot; if you do, all you will see is the trouble. Grab the club you are most comfortable with from 160 yards and take a smooth swing. 

You don’t have to be perfect to find success on the 13th, so don’t think your way into trouble.
