Brunswick Golf Club - Magnolia/Dogwood
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
Unable to play out of sand traps due to standing water. Grass around several of the bunkers was not groomed.
Would not recommend to friends due to the condition of the course.
Good time.
Enjoyable experience. We zipped along and completed in just over 4 hours. Only problem I had was not being able to use my smart watch distance calculator?????
Lack Of Consideration
We booked our tee time at 5pm because we wanted to play after work. It rained off and on all day so we thought we should call to make sure the course was still open around 3:30. They asked us to come early as they were all trying to go home early that evening. We showed up closer to 4:30. When we arrived, we were told that everyone went home so we couldn’t play. They knew we had called but said they didn’t have our phone number to call us back.
We wouldn’t have minded if when we called they said the course was closed, but why have us drive all the way there and then tell us we couldn’t play? That’s a complete lack of consideration on our time.
Golf
This was the first time playing here. From the time we arrived the staff was extremely courteous and friendly. They did everything they could to make our day the best. The course itself was just a smidge short of perfect. Only bad thing was the foursome in front of us were slow. They were older players and around hole 12 they didn’t fair in the heat very well. Slowed way down. Other than that it was a perfect outing. Definitely will be playing again on the next visit.
Sand Traps Full of Water
Greens and fairways in good shape. However the sand traps had 6 plus inches of water in them. I lost a ball in a fairway bunker. Hit into another and found my ball plus two others that previous players had lost in the water in the traps. I realize they do not drain. They need to pump them out.
Good North Myrtle Choice
Have played Brunswick Plantation several times this year and has been in good shape, but it is starting to show some burnout with dry weather on greens and some other areas. Still a good value compared to some of the other choices in the area. Front side moved around well (less than 2 hrs), but we got behind a large group of members on the back and waited on every shot on the back.
Everyone very nice in clubhouse.
Good Bargain
Greens were good but a bit slow. Fairways and tees need to fill in in spots , but overall good condition. Front nine was very slow at almost 2.5 hrs but something happened on the back to speed things up and we finished in just over 4hrs. Good layout, with a mix of different length holes and just enough water to keep you on your toes.
Nice course for a vacation round
Good condition overall. Tough for me to get used the Bermuda greens! Enjoyable break though.
Fun and open course.
Staff was very pleasant. Starters to bartenders! Would play again.
Course was in good shape and open landing area. Great for our under 18 players to get out and have fun.
Nice Course
The fairways and greens are in pretty decent shape despite the recent dry spell. The staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend give this course a try!
Course somewhat burned out due to lack of rain. Very true and fast greens. Recommend playing a round here.
Great Course when you are in Myrtle Beach
Course was in great shape. Pace was great. Having three sets of nine should be a standard everywhere! (I know - I’m dreaming!)
Really a good time.
Great Course in Myrtle Beach
This is a great layout made even better by three nine hole courses to make pace of play whiz by. Rarely had to wait for anyone and no one had to wait for us! Fairways were great. Hazards were fair. Terrific greens.
Come play this course - you won’t regret it!
