About
Designed in the classic Scottish tradition, our masterful six-million dollar creation by Pete and P.B. Dye surrounds a sparkling 20 acre freshwater lake, bordered on the west by a 20,000 square foot colonial clubhouse.
The front nine winds through a pine forest in the manner reminiscent of the world famous Dye-designed Harbourtown Golf Course. Only 1/4 mile away from the ocean, the back nine is a more open layout similar to Dye's PGA West course and play is influenced by the prevailing ocean wind.
Prestwick features 8 holes where water comes into play.
Over 1.3 million cubic yards of earth were moved in creating towering Scottish berms, stairway and church pew bunkers, and undulating greens. In addition, more than 10,000 railroad ties were used to create another classic Dye design. Dramatic elevation changes ranging up to thirty feet add an exceptional feature to this coastal location.
Prestwick has been recognized as one of South Carolina's top golf courses and remains enjoyable with extremely limited non-member play and great year-round course conditioning.

Golfer Reviews
Rough was a little long for the average golfer, difficult to find your golfball.
It’s a do over and would appeal to more golfers if the rough was cut down another inch.
Good 18 hole test of golf.
Beautiful course
Course had had the greens punched and the fairways and such cross cut , but had come back in pretty good. Very well taken care of. Thumbs up to the greens keeping staff!
Great time
Greens were punched but still rolled pretty and the course was in great shape. Beautiful course!
Embrace the Challenge
I have played several courses in the Myrtle Beach area, including TPC. In terms of difficulty, Prestwick is right there with TPC. The slope from the tips is 150 and it is ALL of 150. If you are either a good golfer or take golf seriously, you will love this course. The front 9 and back 9 are distinct, and at least half of the holes are extremely unique. Almost every green has a steep drop off, or is barricaded by bunkers or water. There are not a ton of water hazards, but when there are, they are strategically located to penalize a bad shot. The 245 yard 8th Hole Par 3 and the 9th Hole along the lagoon are unreal. The conditions at this place for July 3 were gorgeous. The staff could not have been nicer and more friendly. They truly made you feel like you were a member at a private country club. Will definitely be back!
Just Awesome.
Just wrapped up an awesome round at Prestwick Country Club in Myrtle Beach, and it absolutely delivered! This Pete and P.B. Dye masterpiece is a true test of golf that somehow manages to be incredibly fun from start to finish. With dramatic Scottish berms, deep pot bunkers, railroad ties, and sparkling water hazards on eight holes, the layout keeps you engaged and thinking on every shot. The front nine winds through pine forest like a classic Dye design, while the back nine opens up with ocean breezes adding extra challenge.
I played from the white tees (smart choice for enjoyment), and the course felt perfectly balanced—demanding precise drives and creative approaches without being punishing. The fairways were pristine, the greens rolled true and quick, and the elevation changes kept things exciting. Every hole had its own personality, especially that memorable finishing stretch on 16-18!
The staff friendliness was outstanding; warm, helpful, and genuinely invested in making your day great. Prestwick strikes that rare balance of challenging yet super fun. Already planning my next trip back and can’t wait to take another crack at it and bring the whole crew. Highly recommended for any golfer visiting Myrtle Beach!
Terrible Pro Shop Employee
Beautiful course the maintance crew has done a fantastic job. I played there last Sunday and had one of my buddies get very sick. Turns out his kidneys were failing but the pro shop attendant treated it as an inconvenience rather than help him. When I walked back in, after my buddy was getting drove to the hospital, he was talking crap about how he “had to deal with an ambulance because somebody drank to much last night”, to other public players. Meanwhile he had not drank in two days. One of the most unprofessional things I have ever seen. I would love to come play that course again but due to this experience I don’t know if I would just because of him.
Awesome course
recently played this course and was extremely impressed. The course was in outstanding condition from tee to green. The greens were absolutely fantastic—smooth, fast, and very well maintained.
The staff was excellent throughout the entire experience, friendly, professional, and eager to help. The course itself is challenging, with a great layout.
For senior golfers, especially those over 70, I would highly recommend playing from the gold tees. .
Overall, a great golfing experience, and I would definitely look forward to playing here again.
Prestwick Country Club
I played Prestwick Country Club with three friends on 03/26/2026. Designed by Pete Dye and his son P.B. Dye the front nine winds through a pine forest while the back nine has a more open layout with water coming into play on almost half the holes, some of the holes have Pete Dye’s signature railroad ties incorporated. Hole number nine and eighteen are close copies of the ones at TPC Sawgrass. The rough was still dormant which gave an interesting contrast with the deep green of the fairway. The course was in excellent shape and the greens rolled true. The day we played the pin placement were in some very interesting spots. I asked the manager in the pro shop afterwards and he told me the green speeds were at an eleven. Playing conservative on your green approaches is the way to go, because if miss there are plenty of deep run off that will gather your ball. The last three holes will require your full attention with water coming into play on all three of them. The entire staff from the bag drop to the restaurant, to the pro shop were extremely nice and professional. This was my first time playing and I would definitely come back.
Prestwick
I don't write reviews but I just had to chime i. about pace of play here. We were backed up early on the front and then at 15 there were three groups waiting on the fourth. I didn't get to finish bc I had to leave. The marshals were nowhere to be found which is crazy on a Saturday. Fun course, cool layout, atrocious pace of play.
