I'm not a golfer, though some of my friends are very into the game. That said, I always thought it would be neat to ride the cable-car gondola across the waterway here at the Waterway Hills Golf Club<\/i>.<\/p>\n

This article on the closing of the club<\/a> says it was designed by Robert Trent Jones and opened in 1975. As it closed in 2015, that's a 40 year run, which is not bad given the pace of change on the Grand Strand<\/a>. The course was purchased by the company owning the adjacent Grande Dunes<\/i>, but it appears to me that as of yet, nothing has been built on the former course.<\/p>\n

You can see a picture taken from a gondola here<\/a>. Also, I am going to try something new (for me) here. Google Streeview often has images I am unable to match, as they preserve things that have been long torn down in their year-by-year views of the same spot. My assumption had been that I could link to those, but not embed them, but in looking at the actual terms of use, it appears that embedding is OK. So, below I am embedding an image from June of 2013, which shows the course in operation, and a gondola en-route. You can click on the embiggen square to get fullscreen.<\/p>\n
