Ask The Sun News' golf beat writer your questions about such things as golf course facts, tournaments, players and golf events in the Myrtle Beach Area.

Litchfield Country Club

You're not likely to be confused about the era in which Litchfield Country Club was built. The course opened in 1966 as one of the first five 18-hole layouts on the Grand Strand and plays like it with tree-line fairways and a traditional Lowcountry look and feel accentuated by live oaks.
