About
Elegant and upscale at every turn, the 62-room antebellum clubhouse has been a must for photographers since its completion in 1927. When the azaleas bloom in the spring, it was in this setting that Henry Booth Luce's famed "Sport Illustrated" was founded in 1954.
From the white-gloved caddy master, to the on course chef, everything about Pine Lakes is bathed on old-fashioned class and charm. Although the clubhouse is completely private for the club members, at present, arrangements have been made for guest play through a very select group of member hotels. Should you be fortunate enough to stay at one of these facilities, we suggest you make it a point to visit this classic.

Not friendly
Not sure if he was The starter, but the guy who greeted us was nasty. It was still raining when we arrived, the rain was due to end soon. The guy immediately unloaded our clubs but did not put them on a cart or on the area designed to hold clubs. He sets them against a tree. I go into to check in, hubby takes the truck to the parking lot, i come out and my clubs fell on the ground and are laying in the muddy rain. Guy angrily picks them up, i am standing there a little shocked. Hubby walks up, i ask if the guy told him to get a cart since there were three there, guy yells back that it is going to be a few minutes. I told my husband I would like to get them out of the rain. Finally, a nice guy shows up and starts laoding them on a cart. Evil guy comes back to finish. He was clearly annoyed when I asked simple questions like "Is there water on the course" August tends to get hot and I want to be prepared... it really caused the day to start on a bad note. Seriously, I can load my own clubs and typically do, if you have a bad attitude don't come near me, I dont need that.
Pricey for course condition
We've played Pine Lakes over the years in varying conditions and always enjoyed ourselves. We weren't aware the greens had been punched a couple of weeks earlier and were still bumpy and sandy. Overall condition of course was average. It seemed tired and needed some care. For the price it was not a good value. The saving grace - the staff was incredibly friendly which made play a pleasant experience. I'm not sure if ill play here again anytime soon. I'd rather pay a bit more for a top conditioned course than over pay for this one.
Good Times Had By All
Course was in great shape...very good conditions....first time playing this year and enjoyed it very much....staff was very friendly and dressed the part too 😀
Would play again on future visits!!
Nice place
Me and a buddy placed with a member named jimmy, a real class act very hospitable and knowledgeable of the course
Excellent course!
We enjoyed the round today. The course conditions were top notch. I’ve played almost every course in Myrtle and only Tpc is rated higher to me for course conditions. Will definitely play here again!
GREAT COURSE-FRIENDLY STAFF-GREAT MENU-WISH WOULD BEEN DRY CONDITION
CAME DOWN IN AUGUST- RAIN HAS BOUNDED THE AREA UNFORNULY- THIS WAS ONLY COURSE THAT HAD COULD DRIVE ON COURSE - DRAINED PRETTY WELL- GREENS WERE OK FOR BEING PUNCHED FEW WEEKS AGO- RESTAURANT SUPER NICE AND PRO SHOP AS WELL- A MUST PLAY WHEN YOUR IN AREA-
Bad conditions by maintenance. Nice course.
It’s a beautifull course, but it was in bad shape. The greens were terrible. The fairways were covered with lose grass. All by resent maintenance .
The fee was in no way reasonable compared to the conditions
In good shape it must be a perfect course, but for the fee they ask there other courses in the area more interesting.
Excellent course
This was a great course. I gave the course condition a 4 only because they recently aerated the greens. Cannot wait to come back after they grow back in.

Course was in good condition. The greens bunkers and fairways were all very well-maintained. It’s the first golf course built in the Myrtle Beach area and has nice natural elevation changes. Pace of play was just over four hours in the morning. If you’re in the area, don’t pass up a chance to play this course.

It’s the first course built in Myrtle Beach. A really cool layout and exceptionally friendly and courteous staff mimosas at the turn are a great tradition!
History, but Meh
Boring layout, conditions were just ok. It's a play it once for the history kind of course. I definitely don't have an itch to return, especially with all of the other quality courses available.
Good course
The main drawback is the lack of a practice range. However once you get through that the course is great.
Thanksgiving Eve
Day started a chilly 41 degrees but quickly warmed to the point that short sleeves were donned. Professional treatment recieved from Cart Guys, to Starter and Rangers. Very friendly employees especially entertaining questions from us about the History of the course. Clam Chowder at the turn was delicious. Even shooting 97 (me) and 101 (SIL) couldn't deter us from a great round with the twosome we were paired with. Will return!
