International World Tour Golf Links offers a unique golf experience where you can play replicas of the most famous holes in the world. Though it is situated in the Carolina Forest section of Myrtle Beach's Grand Strand, you will be transported to nine states and three different countries during your round. The golf course features holes from the four major championships: the Masters, the U.S. Open, the British Open, and the PGA Championship. Each hole was carefully crafted to follow the original design, featuring all the same challenging hazards. The toughest hole on the golf course is arguably the short, but intimidating third. Inspired by the 17th hole on the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass, this par 3 is known for the island green that leaves no room for error.

World tour

I was very sceptical prior to playing this course, I thought the idea of a replica course was very gimmicky. But it turned out to be a very fun course to play. Good selection of holes, greens were in great shape and had many tough breaks. Definitely a shot makers course. The service was very good from the moment we arrived. Although there was 1 hour frost delay, the pace of play was not overly long. It was definately a great experience and one that is worth checking out. Even though it may not be one of the great courses on the strand, the conditioning is great and it's as close as most of us will ever be to playing the real thing.

Fantastic experience & service

We had a great time at WTGL this past weekend. We have played before, a few years ago, and also enjoyed it then. The staff treat you like gold, and make sure you don't have to lift a finger. Throughout the round, the marshals are constantly making sure you are satisfied and having a good round. The course is fun to play, and in great condition. Definitely a must if you have never played here before.

Awesome course

Played this course twice this week. It is in excellent condition. The greens were receptive and rolled true. Fairways were like carpet. My favorite holes were the Troon postage stamp, Augusta 12 and 13, and TPC 17 island green. All of the staff from bag drop on were very friendly. The end of the round mint towel was a nice touch and much needed. We will definitely be back to play here on our next visit.

O.k.

The St. Andrews holes were cool. Conditions of the greens and fairways were acceptable for summer in MB. Tees were awful. Much of the rough was very unkept and needed mowing, etc. Amen corner was ugly and unkept. If you pay to play replica holes, they should be close to the same quality and appearance, not just topography. Pro shop guys were great, very nice. Clubs on the oversized cart were a bit much, just a money grab for tips. Took 20 minutes to leave, and there were 5 cars in the lot. Club guy disappeared somewhere. Overall it was worth it, but could have been better.

Over-rated

I was suggested this course when my other options were closed for aerification. When first reading about it, I thought it would be really cool to play the layout of different holes from the tour. Well pace of play was pretty slow and the conditions just weren't that great. It came off more as a gimmick than true justice to the holes. The greens were bumpy and slow. Save your money and play something original, not a poor reproduction.

Great all around $

This course was very well kept and each hole resembles different holes around the world almost perfectly and is a steal for the money at only 50 bucks. Practice facilities were good and greens and fairway were in great shape but greens were a tad slow. Highly recommend to friends!

World Trap

This course was in awful shape. The greens were bad. The fairways were bad. This course was just plain bad. It is comparable to a $25 municipal course. If you want to throw money have at it. I have played the World Tour in Houston and it was worth it. This one is on our list of courses not to play EVER again on our annual golf trip. We are down in April and August/September every years.

One of the better courses I've played in Myrtle Beach

Played the course while on vacation and it was worth it. The course is in great shape, the greens are fast and roll true. The holes are very picturesque and make you feel like you're standing on the signature holes of the greatest courses in the world. Will definitely play again.

Worth a try

Played this on first day of golf trip, but the course was really wet. Starter was great, paired me up on first nine and played single on second nine. Cart path only made for a lot of walking, and wet conditions even closed one hole. The emulations of great holes worked ok at times, not at times. For a senior golfer it was good to play once.

Bad conditions overall

The course was very wet, it's not worth the money. On the 18 fairway we drove in the middle of the fairway but could not find our balls since it was so wet, the staff told us that even during the summer that fairway is wet

Play golf around the world all in one place

On some of the holes, you have to squint a little to imagine you're at Augusta or English Turn or St. Andrews. Just a little. For the most part, World Tour does a great job in recreating some of golf's most famous holes and since most golfers have never played the real courses, they really don't have much to compare it to. Better yet, however, the holes are just fun. And in some cases, like the Olympic Club facsimile, you'd never know that it was a copy of the original, but it really doesn't matter.

Like being a Pro for a day!!

The friendly guy at the gate knows your name when you arrive. They take your clubs and send you to the clubhouse. Guy in the clubhouse was very friendly and sends you out back where your cart (w/ gps) is ready togo. Plenty of balls on the all grass range (no stupid turf mats). Course was in perfect shape. I felt like a pro for the day (until I started golfing). Course was challenging, but not unplayable for a hack like me. At $60, this is the best value you will ever get at a golf course. They wipe your clubs down and give you a wet peppermint towel for your neck at the end of the round (are you kidding me). A must play in Myrtle.

A must play!

The best service ever! You pull up and they take your bags for you. Free range balls the off the first hole which is a replica of St. Andrews. Very cool layout with plenty of risk reward holes and 2 holes with the largest fairways in golf. When you finish they clean your clubs and bring them back up to the valle area. Will definitely play again. This time of year is only 65 bucks.

Great course and excellent staff

My son and I played World Tour for the first time Saturday 7/27 and had a great experience. We arrived early for our 2:20 tee time and were welcomed warmly. We checked in quickly. Kyle was very helpful and friendly. We had the practice range to ourselves and the facilities were very nice. We went to the first tee of the Open and were never held up or pressed from behind. The pace was terrific. The course was in great shape. On the second nine there was a slow group ahead and the course ambassador assisted us in playing through. They are really there to help you not hurt your experience. They check on you throughout your play and provide you with water and ice if needed. They hold the flag stick at 9 and 18 for you. When you finish up, they greet you, clean your clubs and assist with getting your clubs to your car. Great experience and hospitality.
