Rating 73.2

This beautiful facility is located on 270 pristine acres at the North end of the Grand Strand. Blessed with a unique topography and large mature trees, the course meanders down to the inter-coastal waterway with scenic vistas to distract you at every turn.

This 6900 yard Clyde Johnston design is owned and managed by the same group that developed the fabled Heather Glen links and the service you have grown to expect from this organization is evident the moment you drive up to the clubhouse. Give this course a try the next time you vist the Myrtle Beach area. You won't be disappointed!

Several holes on this course holes are too gimmicky

Overall the course was enjoyable to play except for the last couple of holes which felt like they ran out of room and just crammed them in the best way they could. They did not fit well with the rest of the course and ultimately took away from the overall experience. Green speeds were not uniform at all either throughout the entire course. Some were fast and some were slow which made putting more difficult than it should have been.

Perfect weather

not handycap friendly

if you have a handycap play some where else they will not help set cart to a handycap mode. many holes have long walks from cart llimits to the green. on a few occasions the cart would stop before reaching the cart limits.signs. I had to skip several holes one hole was a parr 4 cart path only. I guess they don't care about the american diisablity law. the layout was great and views were some of the best i have seen. It was not up to resort standards.

Soggy

The course was very wet from 3 days of storms. The wet part was understandable but the rude starters, unkept areas, and general overall impression is not what I have grown to expect in Myrtle Beach. Next trip I will be back at Tidewater.

Challenging Course

Drivable par 4’s and long par 5’s. You’ve got to be straight and accurate on distance. You could shoot your best round or lose a couple sleeves of balls. Beautiful course right on the ICW. I will be back for more.
