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.

The azalea is routed through thick, Carolina woodlands and has an island green surrounded by oyster shells. That's No. 15, accessible by bridge.

Brunswick let down

Upon check in were helped by a rather uninterested gentlemen in the pro shop. He barely said anything to us as he gave us our starters ticket. We then stood around for quite awhile at the bag stand waiting for our clubs to be loaded only to learn that our names were not on the tee sheet. They proceeded to finally send us out as a twosome. The course conditions were awful even though the winter has been very mild here. The pace of play was 4.5 hours and we never saw a ranger. With all of the choices in The Grand Strand area I would highly recommend not playing at Brunswick.

Beautiful community

The course was very nice. Not too long, but quick tricky greens, so accuracy of approach shots are very important. Staff was excellent and clubhouse is spectacular. I would definitely play again.

Really fast greens

Been in Myrtle Beach area for two weeks and greens were quicker than anywhere. Fairways were rolling well but we're somewhat thin. Paired up with a local and played in 3 hr and 30 minutes.

Pleasant afternoon at Brunswick Plantation

We played Azalea and Magnolia. The course was in great shape considering the dry conditions prevailing in the area. Fairways are generous and the greens fast. A few minutes on the putting green are certainly worthwhile. Overall, an excellent value for money. We'll be back.

Fun Layout

First time at Brunswick Plantation. The course was a little soggy from recent rains but was playable. The greens are on the small side, roll true but have a fair amount of grain in them. Some of the holes are tree lined and tight....others pretty open. A couple of great short par 4's that will tempt you....not a good decision! Sand traps were ok....a bit inconsistent in depth of sand. Fun course and I will play again.

wet, wet, and more wet

it's hard to review a course after so much rain. it was cart paths only, it had poured the day's before. the group in front of us after giving them an entire hole head start held us up on the second hole. a couple of holes later the cart girl came along and she called the ranger and with-in 10 minutes the ranger was there and told the group to let us thru and then pick it up. standing on the 16green we could see the group 5 holes behind us. it took our group under 4 house to play, it must have taken them almost 6 hours.

Great Golf Courses

This community has three 9-hole courses. The golf course was in great shape and the holes are challenging for the average golfer. I had no problems at all with the staff, but others have told me differently. The fairways are nice and the greens are fast. Your ball must carry to the green because of the soft fringe. Overall. I love it.

Not a 4 star course

Decent course, played a couple of days after heavy rains so fairways were soft. Rough has patches between grass, stuff you'd find at a budget course. Tees are average , all sums up to a 3 star course but overall pleasant experience.

Excellent course

I have to say that the staff at this course was very friendly. The course was in great shape. The only problem I had was with the course maintenance crew. They were mowing on a couple of the holes which slowed us down and was very distracting. Other than that, the course was great. The fairways were cut, the rough was trimmed but thick, and the greens were in excellent condition. I do recommend a gps app for your phone or a yardage finder. Some holes require placement off the tee rather than just bombing it out there and one par 3 yardage was particularly confusing. Great course though. I definitely recommend it.
