True Blue Golf Club
Build a golf package now:
After designing the universally well-received and highly successful Caledonia Golf & Fish Club course, golf course architect Mike Strantz was given free rein in designing its sister course, the True Blue Golf Course. And he built a bruiser.
While it was marketed to low handicappers after opening in 1998, it’s seen several changes over the years that have made it a course for players of all skill levels. Still, it remains one of the Grand Strand’s most challenging. Golf Digest, Golf Magazine, and Golfweek rank it as one of the state’s top courses, and it features wide fairways, a fairly hefty change in elevation, natural terrain, and lots of sand. Other features include water in play on six of its holes, hidden cart paths, and medium-sized greens.
While five sets of tees make the course accessible for players of all skill levels, make no mistake that this course can be challenging with island greens, multi-tiered greens, jagged bunkers, water and sand hazards, and more. An upscale course with all the amenities a golfer could want, the course measures 7,126 from the back tees.

In poor shape. Greens shaggy. Practice tee largely unusable. Fairways thin and spotty. Tees often in poor shape - especially par 3s. Drive a very long way to play these two great designs. Very sad to se show poorly maintained they are.

Outstanding golf course, staff was wonderful to our group. I did slip and fall on hole number 2 when I stepped on one of those wooden ramps to retrieve my golf ball. In the early damp conditions, those boards are slippery ... maybe some signage warning golfers might be helpful.

One of my favorite courses but I was disappointed in the overall condition of the course. I’ve played this course a half dozen times and it was always in pristine condition.

This course didn’t disappoint. It’s in super condition. Wide landing areas off the tee boxes would make this course enjoyable for anyone. But if you a little off on your second shot. Be ready for your some deep green side bunkers.

I really liked the course layout. However, I honestly feel the course should not have been open when we played it. There was so much standing water that I felt unsafe driving my golf cart through it at times (note: this is on the cart path as the entire course was cart path only). I would like to play this course again under better conditions. I understand the weather can't be controlled, but keeping a course closed vs opening it up too soon can.
