Possum Trot Golf Club - #13 - Hole Spotlight from Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday
MYRTLE BEACH GOLF HOLE OF THE WEEK: NO. 13 AT POSSUM TROT
July 18, 2017 by Chris King
Possum Trot Golf Club is home to one of the game’s most unique names, but an unforgettable moniker isn’t what brings people back to the course 49 years after its opening.
The North Myrtle Beach layout has long prided itself on being the area’s friendliest course and it delivers on that promise on a couple levels. Possum Trot Golf Club is a classically designed layout and prides itself on providing good old-fashioned customer service.
Staffers greet golfers with a smile and they place an emphasis on pace of play, helping ensure what is generally one of the Grand Strand’s quickest rounds. The challenges at Possum Trot are straight-forward 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.

Ryan McCarty Shaftesbury Golf & Fish Club Myrtle Beach SC
I met Ryan McCarty, the Director of Operations, at Shaftesbury Golf & Fish Club in the pro shop and later interviewed him in front of the Scottish Castle that is a clubhouse downstairs and five Shaftesbury Suites upstairs. He spoke of owner Paul Himmelsbach and how he caddied as a young lad at Winged Foot Golf Club and brought that golf course to South Carolina. The ownership group of brothers Paul and Jack along with Marvin Arnsdorff started with Heather Glen and Glen Dornoch. Later they converted Himmelsbach family farmland into the Shaftesbury Masterpiece of generous and manicured fairways leading to well-bunkered elevated bent grass greens. Ryan grew up playing golf in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and moved to Myrtle Beach to be in the golf business year round. Though second in the title the fishing in the Waccamaw River behind the castle clubhouse is reported to be as good as the golf by golfers and fisherman alike. AG&TD2014046
