Long Bay Club

Really wanted to play this course back in May but ended up picking another due to a bunch of negative reviews stating they were closing for the summer to redo the greens and parts of the course. Found a few positive reviews and decided to give it a try. Got it for $63/ea. on a Monday early afternoon. Was pleasantly surprised. Course is in great shape and is a fun layout. Unfortunately, it started to rain hard during our round and at the turn noticed we were the only golfers left on the course. So, we asked for a rain check and returned later in the week (sadly, on yet another rainy day) on a Friday morning. Was cool and windy but managed to finish the back 9 before it started to pour. Had a very slow foursome in front of us that we quickly caught up to and multiple foursomes behind us. Other than that would gladly return, course gave us central Florida golf community vibes.

What the F#*£!!! Are you kidding me the course was and is unplayable. They blamed your company for not posting they are closing in 6 days. I’m out Fifty dollars because Long Bay or you were untruthful. Not likely I will ever use your services again.

I liked the lay out of the course but was shocked at the condition of the greens. The greens had more bare spots than it did grass and putting was a putt and hope.

Greens were in horrific condition - they were mostly weeds. Could be the worst greens in the country.

Golf course management should have been more upfront, like before they took our money, and honest about course conditions. I even asked about the course conditions while paying and received a very shaky response.

Got to figure it will be years before their greens are repaired.

Only positive was the breakfast sandwich.

Waste of time and money.

Unfortunately we were not informed prior to booking that the greens were going to be under repair, hence they were a mess. Played the course years back it was in tip top shape. Oh well, maybe next time

Worst greens I have ever played on. We payed $100 round and wouldn’t pay 40. Nobody told us that all 18 greens were destroyed by fungus. Couldn’t putt any hole without bumps, etc. fyi, I never write a bad review. My 2 foursomes got taken for a ride. We should have been comp’d. In fairness, they are shutting down in July to repair them. Wishing them success in their repair process.

Just played Longs Bay (April 2023) and was terribly disappointed. The greens were an absolute disaster. The waste areas compacted sand and cement. More like cart paths. Just terrible condition all around for a Jack Nicklaus course. We received a paltry $20 course credit, when they should have refunded 1/2 the prepaid fee. And all this was a surprise as they never sent an email informing us of condition so we could find another course. I didn’t travel across the country (Seattle) to ply this. More like a run down muni.

Greens are gone

Beautiful cours that need a lot of tlc

Stopped after 4 hrs with 5 holes to play and 3 fore some at the t box

Way to expensive for the conditions

Tee boxes and green's conditions were awful ! They suffer from last winter frost...website should mention these conditions!

Last time we played (2022), Course was in perfect condition.

Supervisor tôle us that the course Will be closed from May 17 to the end of August to put greens in condition !

It' s à shame not to publisize that fact !

All the greens had a fungus and were impossible to putt on. When made reservations was not told of this. So bad the course is closing for the summer to try and fix.

This was our first course of 4 that we played near Myrtle Beach. We had played several years ago and remember it fondly. Totally different conditions this time. The greens were soooo bad you had no clue where it was going or how very fast it was going to roll. Green dye was sprayed on them to try to make them look like there was grass. There was very little grass. We would have stayed and played a second round but we went across the road to Aberdeen where the conditions were much better!! Hopefully conditions will be better as the spring comes along. (We were given a $20 voucher that we used for lunch. That was very good!!)

Returned to the course because of the conditions and layout. Found greens so bad it ruined the experience. Friendly staff. The 90 dollar rate was ridiculous. Me and the 7 people I invited were very disappointed. Hope you get the greens fixed, because the layout is beautiful.

Didn’t know greens were in bad shape, they did give us a $20 gift card per player which did help. Staff was great.

Very nice course except that for the money we paid on GolfNow, $81, this course should have been in great shape. Nice tee boxes and fairways but the greens were all chewed up and horrible! Tons of places in Myrtle with much better conditions cheaper.

Quirky course not in the best of shape. Greens were terrible. Will not go back to this course in the future.

Tee to green is in very good shape. However the greens are in poor shape. Many approach shots require hitting over bunkers. Very good layout.

Don't waste your time or money! There is no grass on the greens, just green painted soil.

They have a nice layout but all 18 greens are a complete write off. No warnings from the proshop prior to paying full price to play on this, completely unethical in my view. Should be removed from GolfNow. This place needs to be closed and renovated before stealing more money from the public. After the round the proshop was unapologetic and only offered a 10% discount on merchandise. No thanks, you stole enough of my money. Never again.
