Tidewater GC set for bunker renovation project

Tidewater Golf Club unveiled plans for a bunker renovation project that will enhance playability and strategic design. The two-phase project is set to start in June, with the first phase finished in August. The second phase is scheduled to start and finish in June 2025. The club contracted Southeastern Golf Inc.

In addition to bunkers, several holes at Tidewater will be modified to increase playability and strategy. Daily play will be minimally affected during the renovation.

“Tidewater is one of the top-rated courses in Myrtle Beach and we want to continue to invest in the club ensuring that it maintains that status,” KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner said. “This renovation marks one of the key strategic upgrades planned for Tidewater Golf Club.”

“We are excited about the evolution and modernization of Tidewater Golf Club,” GM Chris Cooper said. “We believe this bunker renovation will be vital to the continued success of the club.”

Situated along the picturesque Carolina coastline and nestled between the Intracoastal Waterway and Cherry Grove Inlet, Tidewater Golf Club was designed by local architect Ken Tomlinson and opened in 1990.

While the course tips out at just over 7,000 yards, nine of Tidewater’s 18 holes play along the water to provide a unique experience. One of Tidewater’s more distinguishing features is the unparalleled preservation of the surrounding natural environment. Thoughtfully designed to coexist harmoniously with local flora and fauna, Tidewater provides an immersive golfing experience through the natural Lowcountry landscape while maintaining the ecological integrity of the area.
