About
The Long Bay Club boasts a Jack Nicklaus Signature design that is consistently ranked as one of the top golf courses in South Carolina, a major accomplishment when you're competing with golf destinations such as Hilton Head and Kiawah Island. The landscape showcases the beauty of the Lowcountry with forests of pines, dogwoods, and maple trees divided by clear blue streams. The golf course design closely mimics the natural contours of the terrain but there are also countless large, man-made mounds that were seamlessly sculpted into the surroundings. It is considered one of the toughest golf courses on the Grand Strand. Golfers will face numerous bunkers that are seemingly bottomless as well as vast waste areas. The signature hole is the par-4 10th, which features a u-shaped waste area that completely surrounds the fairway and then crosses in front of the elevated, contoured green.

Fun Course Even in March
My foursome had a great time at Long Bay. We loved the layout and considering the dormant grass the course was in wonderful condition. We'll play here again.
Nice place and fun
The golf course's grass and course were good. The distance was long and there were many courses that were not easy, but it was fun to play.
So-so
Not a bad place to get a round in. Greens were good, quite a few with challenging slopes. Rough was non existent, so go ahead and bomb it. All in all I would return.
This golf course could be rename to Long Play
Pace of play was SLOW!!!! From what I was told the rangers are never allowed to approach players who are in violation of slowing the pace of play down. No matter how slow the party is. I cannot recommend this course, nor will I be returning.
Ripoff
I booked with golf now for 58$ when I arrived at the course they charged me an extra 24$ for a cart fee. With taxes it put it up to over 95$ l didn't keep a copy of my confirmation (dumb) so I paid it. I got ripped off. I have played this course 4 times in the last month but will never go back.
Good value
I enjoy the course. Good condition, very open and little trouble.
Post hurrican condition
I like the course because It's easy to play regardless of your handicap. There's nothing memorable however. We played, cart path only and the greens and fairways were surprisingly not bad. I played it 30 years ago and I hope I can come back in another 30 years.
Liked the course was very challenging. Greens were a little slower than I like. Staff were very good.
Long Bay
Excellent condition with a challenging layout. Course was not tricked up with blind holes or missing fairways. Definitely needs to be on you list of courses to play.
