Panther's Run at Ocean Ridge Plantation

Played Panther Run for the first time today. Loved the layout. The course conditions seem to be in transition. Tees, fairways, rough and bunkers were in good shape overall for this time of year. The greens were very slow and in need of work. Several of the greens appeared to be damaged and are in the process of being repaired. Looking forward to playing the course again when conditions improve.

I'd be asking for my money back of I paid more than $35. Dont pay more than that for any of the big cat courses. They are nowhere near as bad as reviews say, but they are not higher price range worthy.

Much better than I expected from the previous reviews. Cart paths are rough but the course layouts and conditions are really good. Glad I have played it myself instead of watching the reviews. Yes, I would recommend it and play here again.

They just don’t do much maintenance. Great course. Poorly taken care of

This was my first time playing this course, and based on the information/reviews I had read, I wanted to give it a try. Layout wise, it posed a moderate challenge. It was aesthetically nice to look at. I played the white tees at 6,267, but several doglegs made it seem a bit shorter. I'm a senior golfer, a 19 hcp., will shoot 89-95 on most days on courses w/ slopes of 120+ and ratings of 68+. I play approx. 75 rounds a year in the greater Myrtle Beach and Brunswick County, NC area. Many of the greens have areas that are not in good shape. There are weeds/unwanted grasses growing on several greens and there are places where the greens have died. The fringes also need some help. That said, there is evidence that mgmt. has taken measures to fix/mitigate the issue areas. Perhaps next spring the results will be evident. The greens are the hardest thing about the course as they undulate and are tiered, which would be very cool to putt on if they were in better shape. The fairways are overseeded and make for a nice aesthetic and launch platform. My ball plugged much of the time in the fairway due to soft ground, but it is November and they have overseeded. The cart paths are in very rough shape and need serious attention.

On the vast majority of the holes, the fairways are wide and allow you to drive into several decent scoring positions. The traps were in good shape. There are only a few holes, I would classify as tough and I would add that the back nine is tougher than the front. Hole #9, for me, was the most difficult. It requires your first two shots to play into a narrow area. Tricky on this par 5.

So, would I play the course again? Yes, most certainly at $29 (with my MB Golf Passport Card), but at the regular rack rate of $64-$69 (for this time of year)? I'm glad I played the course and enjoyed the round, but I'm not sure I'd play it again for anything more than $45 this time of year. Too many other courses in the same area that offer a good layout and equal conditions (or better) for $39-$45 at this time of year. The attendants and the guy in the clubhouse were friendly and helpful, which is always a plus. I'd rate this experience and the course a 3.5 out of 5. My expectations were perhaps a little high for this course, but at the rate I rec'd with my MB Golf Passport card, this was a tremendous value.

Went golfing with some old friend who came to visit. The fairways were in great shape. The hazards provided a challenge without being punitive. Most of the greens were in good shape. One of them was still healing from some recent repairs. Overall, i couldn't be happier with the overall experience.

I wish someone would’ve told me that their course was in such a bad shape when I booked it. Fairway grass is way too high. One fairway was basically under construction. Several greens were under construction.

Decided to give Panthers Run another chance and we are glad we did. Roughs are cut down, over seed came in beautifully and greens are very good. Glad we both gave it a second chance compared to 6 weeks ago. You can really see the difference the 2 new supers are making. A must play.

Played a quick 9 after work today, course in really good condition. From Pro Shop Staff to Cart Attendants thanks for a great time...

We played in less than 4hours, greens were in good shape.

Played Ocean Ridge (Panther's Run) for the first time today. The fairways and tee boxes have been overseeded and most are rounding into great condition. The greens were fair, rolled well.

The entire course staff, both inside and outside, were helpful and courteous.

Very happy with Panther's Run and will play it again in the future.

I was under the impression the “Cat Courses” were considered premier courses. We booked a last minute Hot deal tee time for $45. That’s about the maximum price anyone should pay for this course. There are weeds everywhere, the rough is very tall and uneven 4”-6” with larger weeds poking up. Greens are pretty good which keeps this course playable. Sand traps are washed out and hard packed. Cart paths are a mess. Our thought was they were letting this course go for a full renovation for next year, but I’m not so sure that’s the case. Do not pay the prices you may find posted (upper $80 to $90 in some cases) you will definitely have over paid!

The course was not well maintained. The cart paths were destroyed. Big pot holes and the path was damaged at least 85% of the course. The fairways had weeds. The rough needed to be cut. I should sue for my $65 back. The greens were very nice. I can't remember which hole but the fairway was missing in action. They know it is in poor condition but choose to ignore it. I won't play there again.

The golf course is in terrible condition. The cart paths are rutted with potholes and tree roots. The fairways were nothing but weeds and greens had bare spots and dead areas.

Can’t speak to the other courses at this complex only Panthers Run.
