Rating 74.7

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.

very difficult course for average golfers

this is a tough course. requires target golf with accurate shots. poor shots will end up in very difficult places. very hard to score even if you are striking the ball well. high handicappers will have a very difficult time.

Played Day 1 of Myrtle Beach World Am

Drew this course for my Day 1 course of the Myrtle Beach World Am. Have played Prestwick multiple times thru the years of playing in the World Am. Prestwick never disappoints. We had 2 flights playing on the course for a total of 96 players. The staff handled the event well. Very friendly and courteous.

The course was well manicured, greens were decently fast for summer in Myrtle Beach. Fairways and tee boxes were well covered. The bunkers are not "pretty" (dark, dingy looking sand) but still in good shape.

Probably one of the most playable Dye courses I have ever played.

If in the area, play here.

Also, was told they are now fully public with no members. True or not, no idea.

Great course

played in the world Am today. 50 golfers in our flight and only 5 shot their handicap. One of the hardest courses I have played down in and others agreed. However, we all agreed we can't wait to play it again.

Great day on the course

Overall this was a great day out on the course. For the day after a heavy hour downpour the course held up very well only a few wet spots. Classic Dye layout that is fairly straight forward but if you're on the wrong side of the fairway your score quickly changes. Starter on Hole 1 gave us a lot of detail about the course while we waited to tee off. Only negative is that we weren't told we had to get a coin at the clubhouse to get range balls. Besides that not one complaint.

If you have no where else to play

This course is not worth your time if you can get on somewhere else. Typical yankee starters that never ride the course to ensure everyone is in their correct position on the course.

Great course, interesting employees

First off, Jay Smith, the Head Pro, is a super nice guy. I'll get to the other folks shortly.

If you want a very challenging course with nice but wide enough fairways, incredible bunkering and faster than usual Myrtle Beach greens, I recommend PCC.

As we approached the bag drop, there were 2 gentleman, Dick and Shelton. Shelton was an interesting cat. We were behind on our tee time from playing a morning round; I called the pro shop 20" before we were scheduled to tee off to let them know we were trying to get to PCC rapidly - the guy who answered was not friendly. He seemed to be inconvenienced by taking my green and cart fees - that's why staff gets a poor rating here. Shelton at the bag drop on the other hand informed us the golf carts would shut off at 7pm - whether he was trying to be funny or not, golf and courses in general ain't getting the play like the salad days 12-20 years ago. His tone was not welcomed at this point but then he seemed to soften as he described the course. He really softened when our group made the turn in 1'50". "Oh, you'll be done by 7:30" he said with a smile. So, maybe he's a guy with dry wit. Enough of that - on to describing the course.

Course - tee boxes, fairways, rough, bunkers and greens - were all in great shape. Lots of variety at PCC. Holes 16-18 will give you all the challenge one needs. Hole 1 was quirky - even if you hit a drive right down the middle, you contend with a large hardwood on your left that guards the green from 50 yards out - have a draw if you're a righty.

In summary, play Prestwick.

Will play again!

very friendly staff; course is definitely well cared for; greens seemed like they hadn't been cut in a few days, probably owing to the wet weather, made for slightly slower speeds but still tricky to read; tough course with lots of uneven lies, forced carry, and plenty of water; will certainly be back to play this one again

Loved everything about this course..

Real customer friendly staff, did everything possible to make your day a great day. Play was timely, for as many people playing, the play moved at an expected rate. Course in great shape for the summer, well maintained. Liked it so much I came back two days later to play it again.

Nice layout great conditions

An absolutely gorgeous facility with an equally beautiful course. Friendly people. The course is a good test of your game. Would give it 5 stars if it was a little more affordable. I still recommend you play this course at least once. I have about 4 times and was never disappointed.

Pretty Course, good value for less than $60

Given the 1 inch of rain each day I played the course (during the round), the course was not a quagmire. Greens rolled true and were extremely fast... bunkers couldn't handle the rain, but I'm sure during drier conditions they make for a challenge. Staff was nice. For $55 during the week this is a great value, but for over $100 on a weekend, i'm not sure its worth it. I've played $100 courses and the facility and staff didn't seem at that level given range balls are not free, and there are no electronics

Rainy Day at Prestwick

Course almost unplayable due to standing and running water in fairways due to recent and current rains. That said greens were fabulous. Cart path only was proper call.

A good experiance.

Every aspect of my experience was very good, except that the greens were too hard. I hit the middle of many greens only to have the ball roll off the green.
