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!

I Recommend This Course
Under repair but a nice track.
The greens had been aerated and the cart pathes were being repaired. The staff told us that they tried to get GolfNow to notify me of these conditions the day before we played, but GolfNow did not respond. The result was we were charged a greatly reduced rate ( the published rate was $68, we paid $27 ). The course is routed through some wetland area with forced carries and several holes along the intercostal.
