PineHills was designed in 1992 on the site of the Pines Course at Myrtlewood, which was the fourth 18-hole design built on the Grand Strand. Arthur Hills transformed this pioneering course into a contemporary design that immediately became a "must play" for resident and visiting golfers alike. Hills design was nominated for Golf Digest's 1994 "Best New Resort Course" and is widely regarded as one of the best maintained courses on the Grand Strand.
