When golfers drive up the magnolia-lined entryway to International World Tour Golf Links, they are transported to a world that most golfers only dream about. Holes inspired by the great courses of the world - Augusta National's Amen Corner, Pine Valley, St. Andrews, Winged Foot - are etched into the Carolina terrain, enabling golfers to sample some of the globe's great layouts in a single day. The primary appeal of the Championship nine is the chance to take on Amen Corner.

Creator Mel Graham, who also headed the design team, spent years researching and studying the courses that are paid homage at World Tour. Then he made sure each hole fits its natural surroundings in Myrtle Beach. The Open nine features two island greens, No. 17 at the TPC of Sawgrass and No. 15 at English Turn. Other highlights include the 16th at Pinehurst No. 2 and No. 18 at St. Andrews.

What makes playing World Tour special is the precise detail of each hole and the smooth transitions from one hole to the next. Not only is the course composed of great replica holes, it is also a great course where the holes flow naturally and seamlessly together to make up a championship course. The International has holes modeled after Valderrama (No. 4), Doral (No. 18) and Royal Melbourne (No. 9).
