The course
Lion's Paw is a Tim Cate links style design that opened in 1990. It plays to a par of 72 on Bermuda greens.
Tim Cate designed Lion's Paw, which has been hosting traveling golfers since 1990. The course takes a links style approach and plays to a par of 72. Bermuda greens provide the putting surfaces throughout.
Lion's Paw pairs naturally with Leopard's Chase, another Tim Cate design, for groups that want to compare the architect's work across two rounds. Its links style layout adds variety to a package built around traditional or parkland courses. Golf Trek can arrange it as part of your Myrtle Beach area itinerary.
