Blackmoor Golf Club

Really enjoyed playing this course on our recent visit to the Myrtle Beach area. Weather was perfect, course was tough but not unreasonable. The pace of play was pretty good considering there was a large group playing the same time. There are a couple of very unusual holes that challenge you to think about your approach shot. I will definitely play this course again, especially once the weather gets warm and the dormant grass fills in.

Title sums it up. It wasn't as interesting a layout as I hoped. The teeboxes were really chewed up. The greens were all sorts of different speeds. Pace felt slow but wasn't really. It was fine, but I doubt I'll be back.

Everything about this course is good! Fairways, rough, and greens were a 9 out of 10. Great course for the intermediate golfer. Highly recommend playing!

Course is very playable from the white tees. Par 3’s are all manageable lengths and the par 4’s are no more than a driver 8-9 iron.

Course has great layout with big fairways and nice greens

Pamala was the best and came around more times then the last 4 courses we played combined. Always remembered our requested drinks and assured she had what we needed.

I booked through GolfNow and was overrcharged by the check in person who was pre- occupied with people she knew waiting to check in. Trying to get a refund of the overcharge

My wife loves this course. Very good condition

Nice greens

First time at Blackmoor

Play many courses around before

I choose it because ir was accessible by the web site, reasonnable price and location near Surfside Beach

Like the layout

Not to long from white tees not to difficult

Fairways tees and green in good shape

For sure plan to play it again on my next trip to MB

First impression was great. Nice layout and friendly welcoming. Fairways were good. Greens are in need of work. Very rough ...not true rolls. At times when putting, the ball would bounce to the hole. I asked a worker when was the last time the greens had been rolled and he said they did it in the off season? It is a pretty course with allot of variety. Took almost 5 hours to play. There is allot of competition in golf courses around the area...recommend they fix their greens to stay competitive.

Not sure what has happened since the reviews in the spring 2022 but this was a major disappointment. Course was in very poor shape from tee to green with major work being done on 3 of the holes. Staff were friendly but this was not worth the $75 they charged. Would not recommend playing here until some solid recent reviews on course conditions are noted

Blackmoor. To the point. I have played 159 golf courses; I have a 4 handicap and this is now in my top ten. If you’re from New England, you must play this course. Can’t wait to get back. Mad at myself for not going sooner. I am going to echo some of the other reviews. Great staff, supper friendly and very accommodating. Our reservation got messed up, me them who cares and none of us knew. They made it work, with a smile and a laugh and that was incredible. Thank you too all. Slow? We did not feel it was slow. 4 hours 20 min on a full course and very little waiting. Would I like 3 hours 30 minutes yes but where in Myrtle in April? I played a different course two weeks ago and we left after 12 holes. So it does happen everywhere.

Some things I think have been left out. Grass? No Bermuda type grass. Kentucky style grass tree line to tree line. Wonderful. My wife does not enjoy hacking the ball out of Bermuda type grass. Clubhouse? Great retro throwback to an old New England “club” house. Small quaint and only a few steps from the cart park to the bar when you are going from 9 to 10. Cart Paths? The best I have been on in Myrtle in 5 years! You actually did not want to get off of them. Founders Corp should take a ride over and see what a well maintained cart path looks like. Layout? I loved it. Shot maker’s course. You have to anticipate where Player wanted you to hit the ball. This is not a bomb it course. But it is also not a narrow course. Funky holes? I was warned. It will be a matter of opinion. Yes, there are three you may say why did he do that? But If you keep in mind that the long way around is the right way, they become normal holes. Yes the hill on 16 on the right side got a bit too high in my opinion. Women? Extremely favorable to women. My wife loved it, distances, hazards were well suited for the average women. Only one hole requiring a second shot layup. A low handicap woman would be happy playing from the gold tees. Condo course? Ok on the front there are condos along the fairways, houses as well but there are lots of tree lines to cover and blend in. I have played far worse in Florida. Stay in the fairway and you don’t notice them. Back nine was more isolated and beautiful. Greens? Very nice, quicker than most. Not quite as fast as Wild Wing but close. Readable and no crazy three tier undulated greens. Having never played them I did not three putt.

I would only have two suggestions. There were no first cuts around the greens. Sucks to hit it 6 inches off the green and be in long grass. I think they may have first cuts later in the year. It looked like there is an apron around each green, different color grass. Maybe just not the right time to be cutting it? Drink Cart? We only saw it once in 4 hours. It was a hot day one more cold beer would have been nice. I can live with both of these, just suggestions.

We always book Blackmoor when we're in the area as it's the only course where my wife feels like she truly belongs. The staff at Blackmoor are absolutely second to none. However, when we played on Monday, March 21st we came off the 13th hole and it had been 4hrs and 5 minutes since we teed off. I have played $200 a round courses and $20 a round courses and never experienced anything like it. We, my wife and my son, decided to call it a day as we were staring a 6 hr round directly in the face. The absence of a course Marshall focused on pace made our otherwise exceptional experience one we would like to forget. Perhaps it's just us, as we are rhythm golfers, but waiting up to 20 minutes after each shot to play our next shot is excessive. We expected more, and at the end of the day, deserved more.
