Brunswick Golf Club - Magnolia/Dogwood
Rating Snapshot
About
Brunswick Plantation & Golf Resort is a 27-hole layout located in the fishing village of Calabash, North Carolina, abut 20 minutes north of Myrtle Beach.
It has three distinct nines: the Magnolia, Azalea and Dogwood. On all nines, you need to hit the ball straight off the tee, taking care of the fairway bunkers, some of which are fairly high-lipped. The course has quick, bent-grass greens, moderately large, and lush, well-tended fairways set amidst tall, Carolina pines.
On the magnolia course, there are water holes, and the course is heavily mounded and bunkered.

Spring Golf! Photo submitted by Sshipper on 03/09/2022
LONG
SEVERAL OF THE HOLES WERE LONG FROM YELLOWS, BUT OVERALL AWESOME CONDITION
Great course
The course is in great shape. It is challenging but all golfers, regardless of ability, can play at this course.
Highly recommend.
Great spring day for golf
Course was in very good shape. Greens were smoothe and quick. Fairways were good and tee boxes too. Look forward to playing again.
Green Conditions
The greens were slow and bumpy. Rest of the course was in good shape except for a few bunkers.
The epitome of beach golf
From the moment you drive up to the club house, this place feels special. It’s like the Calabash version of Magnolia Lane. Surprisingly, the course matches up with its introduction.
Plush grass from tee to green, thick, challenging rough, open fairways and greens, and strategically placed bunkers. Beautiful water features on most holes that are there for more for scenery than strategy.
Layout wise, this course looks easy. Most the fairways are wide and accessible and most of the challenge off the tee comes in the form of dog legs. No forced carries over water or sand. It’s fairly short in places too, but that’s where it gets you. You can’t cut any of the dog legs, and long hitters will consistently find themselves hitting through the fairway into a welcoming sand trap. Hole #1 on Magnolia is a great example. Hit the 3-wood.
So here’s the tips: if you consistently drive the ball over 260, you should likely play the blues, and even then, hit your three wood off most tees and hybrid off a few. Don’t try to cut the corners. I cannot stress this enough. It looks doable—it is not, and more important, it’s not rewarding on your next shot. Take what the course gives you off the tee and you’ll consistently find yourself with an 8 or 9-iron into most greens. For real. This course punishes greediness.
Overall, this course is a must play if you’re in the Sunset/Calabash area. Best value too. If this course were in Atlanta (where I usually play), it would cost $100 and there would never be an open tee time.
For reference, I’m a 5.5 handicap that plays once a week. I played the blues at 7:00am with minimal wind.
Peaceful
Beautiful course well maintained. Level of difficulty to the average golfer is more then fair
Nice course layout. Many tees to match skill and age level. Bunkers were not in good shape. Greens recently punched but rolled good
One of my favorites in the area..
I stay at sunset beach for vacation once a year and try a different course each time.. This was one of my favorites for sure. Course conditions excellent and the price was once great..
A fun day on a fine course.
Played the course on Wednesday following the weekend rains and found the course to be in great shape except for several sand traps filled with puddles leftover from the rains.
Looking past that issue, the course was the best public course I have played so far this year.
I will be playing it again soon!
