Ocean Forest Country Club, previously known as Ocean Forest Hotel and Country Club, [2] and called Pine Lakes Country Club since 1946, [3] is a historic country club and hotel located at Myrtle Beach in Horry County, South Carolina. [4] The club and hotel were designed by an influential New York architect, Raymond Hood (1881-1934) and is an unusual example of Classical Revival architecture. Construction of the club began in 1926 and was completed in 1927. In addition to the hotel / club building, a 27-hole golf course was built in association with the club. It was designed by Robert White, a golf course designer and future president of the Professional Golfers' Association of America. The present 18-hole course dates to 1946. [5]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. [1]
