Scottish Links-Style Lake Drama

The Wizard Golf Club

A Dan Maples design in Myrtle Beach, The Wizard Golf Club blends Scottish-inspired shaping, rolling hills, man-made lakes, wetlands, massive greens, castle-style clubhouse character, and elevation changes you do not expect from a coastal Carolina round.

Course Overview

A links-inspired Myrtle Beach course with a castle in the background.

The Wizard Golf Club is one of the more visually unusual rounds in Myrtle Beach. Designed by Dan Maples, the course was shaped from flat coastal ground into rolling fairways, berms, lakes, and mounds that give the property a Scottish-flavored personality.

The course plays as a par 72 and stretches to 6,721 yards from the championship tees. The scorecard number is manageable, but The Wizard defends itself with elevation changes, water, native vegetation, large greens, and angles that can make a simple shot suddenly feel like it needs a spellbook.

More than 1 million cubic yards of dirt were moved to form the course’s rolling hills and berms. That shaping gives The Wizard a different feel from many Myrtle Beach layouts, especially when paired with the large man-made lakes and wetlands throughout the property.

The castle-style clubhouse sets the tone before the round even begins. It is theatrical, memorable, and just strange enough to make the golf trip feel like it has wandered into its own little side quest.

Playing Notes

How The Wizard plays.

The Wizard gives players more elevation and visual movement than most Myrtle Beach courses. The fairways can look friendly, but the mounds, lake edges, large greens, and wetland carries ask golfers to keep choosing specific targets.

  • Trust the landing areas. The rolling fairways can make shots look narrower or more dramatic than they really are. Pick a line and commit.
  • Respect the lakes. Water is a major part of the course’s identity, especially when approach shots start asking for cleaner carry numbers.
  • Use the big greens. The putting surfaces are generous, but long lag putts can sneak onto the card if approaches finish on the wrong shelf or side.
  • Best group fit. A strong choice for groups that want something visually different, with rolling terrain, water, and a fun central Myrtle Beach location.
