bobbafett4 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Going to Myrtle beach in late April with a few buddies for our yearly trip and really wanted to play Caledonia but all the tee times are essentially booked and have been for over a month. Any tips or tricks on getting a tee time there? Quote Charleston SC Hdcp 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleAce Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Wondering if you tried to book both True Blue and Caledonia if that would help, Both courses are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbafett4 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 We're looking to just play 1 of the 2 and preferred Caledonia but we may do True Blue instead as we've heard awesome things about both of them. There's no additional tee times though if you attempt to book both at the same time, they do have an offer that saves around $50 per person if you book both though Quote Charleston SC Hdcp 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandyland Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 You could always call the proshop and tell them your predicament. Usually SOMEONE cancels at some point or you could just keep checking back. Tough situation to be in for sure and I have played both and had a great time (a better time at True Blue but Caledonia is beautiful).

Good to know, if there are better tee time options for true blue I think we're going to go with that heard there's also a nice practice facility around true blue to for a little added fun Quote Charleston SC Hdcp 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alizchaudhry Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 My 2 cents. I first played Caledonia in 2006. It was a fantastic course. Also played True Blue, which, IMHO was the harder of the two courses. Caledonia is truly a second shot course. We went back in 2022 (June). The greens were in horrible shape, with dead grass. We were told that it was a grounds crew error that killed some of the greens. The Pro shop comped us a tee time at True Blue, which was in immaculate condition. Call the Pro shop to see how their greens have recovered. If they have recovered, play there. As others recommend, try booking both courses, playing True Blue first.

To me, Caledonia is EXTREMELY challenging off the tee. Very narrow landing areas and tons of chances to get blocked out by trees. True Blue, again to me, was WIDE OPEN off the tee in comparison. I think I hit the ball about the same at both courses and I shot 73 at True Blue and 83 at Caledonia. There is more water on True Blue but I don't think that really bothers a better player much. I thought Caledonia was exceptionally hard and True Blue was more fun and easier. Quote STZ 230 9.5* PinHawk SLF 16* STZ 230 Hybrid 21.25* MALTBY TS1-IM 5-GW Equalizer II 54* Glide 4.0 (S) 58* L.A.B.

I thought Caledonia was exceptionally hard and True Blue was more fun and easier. Perhaps we have different games. I am pretty straight off the tees. I hit a lot of hybrids and 3 woods at Caledonia, leaving a lot of wedges - 7 irons into the greens. True Blue played long for me. So to clarify, if you are a long hitter, I think True Blue is easier. If you are shorter and straighter, Caledonia is the easier course. I shot 74 at Caledonia and 84 at True Blue. Played the mallard and blue tees for each course. Also, the wind was a bit stronger when we played True Blue. vandyland 1 Quote Callaway Paradigm 10.5 degree driver BGT shaft TM Stealth 2 3 wood 3-5 hybrids Ping G430 PXG Gen 3 irons (6-W) TM high toe wedges 50°, 56°, 60° LAB Mezz Max putter Armlock BT Stability shaft Ball: Oncore Vero X1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbafett4 Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 We ended up choosing to go with True Blue pretty much because of the tee times available. Apparently they double book the front and back all morning until around 10/11 then don't have tee times until 1pm which seemed like a good move for peak summer season but made it difficult for us Quote Charleston SC Hdcp 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
