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!

Great course

Had a great time. Got a cheaper price since the greens were punched week prior. Course was in excellent condition, thank goodness I played with some locals who advised me where to hit.

bad greens

The greens were in very bad shape. They had airyated them a week ago and every golfer knows what that can do to your game. that being said there were more "non-grass" areas ion most of them. I had played this course twice before over the past 18 years and always remember the course to be tough and in very good shape. Not this time.

The greens were terrible (aerated) and no one offered up that information until I happened to ask where the practice green was located

Not for the casual golfer

Beautiful course, but way to many obstacles. Does not offer a handicap tag so my partner quit at the 12th hole because of all the walking. The gentlemen we got paired up with had also never played the course before and said they would not play it again. I would not recommend this course to the casual golfer unless you're just looking to get mad about your game.

Nice track

First I would like to thank the head pro. He called me 3 days prior to playing and informed me they had punched greens. We decided to play anyway. Course is definitely a special place to play. Loved the layout and design of the holes. The entire course was fun. Now understand the greens had just been punched so they were exactly what I expected but the course itself was a pleasure to play and I expect to be playing it every trip I make.

Great course

This was a great course to play. The pro was amazing. Even called me after booking to let me know the greens were just aerated. Very rarely does this happen. Place of play was a little slower than I am used to but I did have a later tee time than normal too. I would highly recommend this course to anyone in the area. Was definitely worth the price. I made sure to play all over the course with my 82 score. 😂

Amazing value

Great layout tucked away with holes running along waterways. Well maintained and very forgiving. Friendly staff and the nicest marshals. Really appreciated that they called and told us the greens were punched before we got there.

No Sand Bottles

The course has a great layout conditions were good. They did punch the greens. It would’ve been nice that they would let you know on the Golf Now at the one thing that I was disappointed in. They have no sand bottles on the golf carts and my ball landed, and I like to play by the rules so I played Three as it lied and it cost me a Penalty, I don’t know why they don’t have sand on the cards?
