The Land as It Lies: True Blue

True Blue Golf Club is a mind bending, visually intimidating golf course straight off of a canvas (literally). Schemed and designed by Mike Strantz in 1998, the Pawleys Island, South Carolina, course is the first true representation of what Strantz was capable of creating. Brutal bunkers, 600-yard par-5s, island greens, this place screams Strantz from the first tee. Taking influence from Pine Valley and Pinehurst, this is either golf's heaven or hell ... you decide.
