Slow greens, temp green, no driving range

Played after lunch and the green fee compared to the state of the course does not match.

Poor Greens

The greens were rough and a couple were missing. Once we were putting to a flag that seemed to be in the middle of the fairway because you couldn’t tell it was supposed to be a green. Maintenance workers held up play several times as they were trying to cut grass between tee shots. Wouldn’t return unless we know things have improved!!

Great course

The only thing about this course that I could complain about was the pace of play (and that could be due to the extreme temperatures). The tee boxes and greens were well maintained (minus the reconstruction of hole 10 where you’re putting on the fairway). But the staff were friendly and the snack bar at the turn had A-1 hotdogs.

a work in progress

There is a lot of renovation underway at this course right now. Quite a bit of sand on the fairways. It was very hot and dry. Nice clubhouse.

Improved

Played here a couple years ago and it has definitely improved. Greens were nice but slow. Low cost and decent course for your average golfer.

Course

The greens were rough having just been aerated. The 10th hole green was part of the fairway. The conditions have improved over the last 2 years but there is more work to do to be a good course. Price is good for the course.

Slow Play

Course was in good shape. Cart guy would not let me take the cart to my car to load my clubs, even though I saw others doing it. Biggest complaint was that the course was way overbooked. About a 10-minute wait on every hole. Two guys in front of us were playing out of the same bag. Not sure where the marsjal was.

Great time

You can tell the new ownership is spending the time and money to get this course back in shape!

The fairways and tee boxes where in great shape. Greens had been recently plugged and rolled. Green we’re ferm and sandy, but very quick.

Had my son-in-law with me, his first time playing, any course in Myrtle, we both enjoyed the day! Starters and staff were very friendly, even the gentleman mowing around the greens that I almost hit!

Thank you! We’ll definitely be back!

Take care of staff, they will take care of you

We had a 9AMand the first team was pretty backed up. When we arrived, I gave the backdrop guys a small tip and They took care of us. We were allowed to go off the back nine. We played on a busy Monday in less than four hours. It's a solid layout and the course was in good shape. Play the blue tees if you are less than a 12 handicap. Much more challenging

Great Front 9 then….

I played this course five years ago for the first time. Saw that new management took over so I wanted to check out the improvements. Definitely could notice the difference and course condition improvements. Tee boxes could use some TLC but fairways and greens were perfect considering it rained heavy overnight. My only complaint is that at the turn the starter would not let me continue as a single and proceeded to let too many groups out the back 9 earlier. It was cart path only play so this had four foursomes stacked up on #10. I waited 35 min to continue play after finishing the front 9 in under two hours. In the end I had to stop playing at the 4.5 hour mark with four holes play to get back to my wife and son. Really disappointed in the starter not managing this better in the morning when he decided to send too many groups out the back. Should have been more considerate to the early tee times rather than overbooking. Most people that book early want to finish early not play for 5+ hours when you’re the 1st or 2nd group out for the morning.

Nice greens. Course is in decent shape. Way overbooked, so pace of play was ridiculously slow. Two guys in front of us playing out of one bag.

Just average

Course is not worth the price. It's is in mediocre condition. Most greens were poor, a couple were unplayable. The course has poor drainage, so there is plenty of standing water.
