Rating 71.1

Blackmoor Golf Club, a Gary Player Signature course, was built on the historic Longwood Plantation, whose heritage as an antebellum rice plantation along the majestic Waccamaw River accounts for much of its charm. The 18 championship holes feature flowing lakes, moss-draped oaks, lofty pines, and ever changing cypress. Attention to detail is noticeable from tee to green. For cold-weather play, the course is kept green from tree line to tree line to give a refreshing view for those from snow-covered northern climates. Unparalleled fairways focus your attention on one hole at a time. Be sure to study Blackmoor's course layout, since several blind shots to the green will challenge your perception.

Greate value

This is our first time in Myrtle Beach and the first course we played. I agree with another reviewer that I liked the back nine better. We paid 43$ with cart and that's a great deal for the quality of the course. Conditions of fairways and greens were excellent. Staff was very friendly. My wife and I were paired with a local who gave us tips on how to play it and that was very helpful. The only thing I didnt like was that a lot of houses are pretty close to fairways, especially on the front nine. Would play again next time we come.

Would never play again

Pace of play was painfully slow. The course was extremely backed up. It took us 5 and a half hours to play a round. Also the course was extremely wet, the fairways were swamped. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't come back.

A quirky course.

I found the course to be in good shape. The tee boxes, fairways and greens both in good condition. No problem with pace of play either. However there are quite a few holes that you have to keep the driver in the bag. I suppose Gary didn't have much room to work with so he had to make a lot of doglegs making shot placement a premium. If you like a course that's on the short side, this will do. I found the price to be very reasonable also. Would this be a course that I would bring the fellas to? In a pinch, yes.

Blackmoor is OK, but not outstanding

Played this course after 4+ inches of rain two days before. It was still very, very soggy (clay base). Greens were very good, true and good speed. For a senior like myself, it just played too long and it was so darned hot I could barely get through the round (cart path only).

Winter golf

Played for the first time. Course was in great shape. However I want a fan of all the doglegs. Course wasn't too challenging and is fairly short. Greens were in great shape and we're receptive to all different shots. I expected a little more from a Gary player course .

Black or is the bomb!

Really enjoyed this Gary Player course. The staff were super and were part of a great experience. Course was challenging and really made you think about course management. Can't wait to return to Myrtle Beach so we can play Blackmoor again...and again...

Enjoyable afternoon!

Accomodating and attentive staff, challenging layout and good pricing made for a very enjoyable round of golf. Tee blocks accomodate a wide variety of skill levels - course was challenging but not too tough which was good.

Nice Course

I was worried about the state of this course after the amount of rain that Myrtle Beach had received the week I stated there...However, the course was in good condition and the standing water was almost none existent. The course was in good condition some of the bunkers were in need of raking and the greens were a bit slow but all and all it was a challenging layout. One thing to note about this course is it is not a typical Myrtle Beach course that requires length and accuracy, Blackmoor is geared toward accuracy and distance control with tight doglegs and blind approaches.

Too many doglegs!

Wet conditions and too many doglegs of the same length kept this course from being top notch. A 25 min wait at the turn due to double teeing was also disappointing.

Great course

Great layout , great condition - very interesting. Stresses accuracy not length. Greens mostly flat but pristine/fast.
Will definitely play this course again.
Hole layouts challenging, but not communicated very well. Course map on score card weak. Suggest better map even if it's printed separate.

Should be on everyone's Myrtle Beach itinerary

This course should be on your trip list when you're heading to Myrtle Beach. It is a top ten in the area and a top three on the southern part of the strand. The layout is fantastic and it is in great condition. Tees and greens are some of the best you'll find. Make sure Blackmoor is on your list along with Tidewater and the TPC

Fun layout!

Tree lined, water and sand can sometimes make for a long day on the course but Blackmoor is set up to challenge you with these conditions but not beat you to death with them. Greens putt true and fairways are accommodating if you can hit it reasonably straight.
Well maintained and pleasant to the eye, Blackmoor is a fun outing for all levels of golfers!

This course has an interesting design which challenges the golfer and provides an enjoyable experience.

Blackmoor presents a good challenge with many dog legs, undulating fairways, well placed bunkers and water. A most enjoyable experience. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the ranger visited several times to ensure we had water, as it was a very hot day. I would certainly recommend this course to others as a most enjoyable day on the links.

Fun course with good mix of challenging and easy holes.

Course was in great condition tee to green. Was greeted by numerous staff members and given some helpful hints on what to expect on the course. They have a well maintained range. Got around the front 9 fairly quickly but course was pretty empty on a Tuesday afternoon. Started the back but was chased back to the club house by a thunderstorm. Staff was very helpful keeping everyone updated on when play might resume during 35 minute delay. After brief heavy rain, play was restarted and course dried very quickly. Was impressed with how quickly conditions returned to normal after the rain.

Very interesting layout with plenty of risk/reward. Flat greens rolled great, not too fast or slow. Only complaint I have was someone in a group ahead of me left some serious spike marks around the hole on every green. Tread a little lighter bro. Would highly recommend and will certainly be back!

Very Pleased

My experience at this course was a pleasant one. Pace of play was very solid, especially for a holiday. The layout of the course is well balanced; some long holes, some short, doglegs and straight away...keeps you on your toes.

The thing I was impressed with the most: the greens. Every green on the course was in near pristine condition. They rolled very true and were pretty quick.

Great day of golf and I hope to return!

Good Course

They were nice enough to call the afternoon before and let us know the greens were being aerated. Although it was too late to get a time elsewhere they tried to help. We liked the course but found it easier than we expected. Challenging but not difficult. Will play again.

Very nice course. Well maintained. Pace of play was very good. Price was excellent. Nice practice facility.

This was my first vacation in Myrtle Beach and with so many courses to chose from it made it difficult to pick. After several course drive by's I chose Blackmoor and am glad I did. If you only have one round to play while in the area and your looking for a sure thing, Blackmoor will not disappoint. Very nice course.
