Eagle Nest Golf Club
About
Located in Little River, S.C., Eagle Nest opened in 1971 and was designed by Golf Course Architect Gene Hamm. The layout is laid out across 250 acres of gently rolling land, rare for a course near Myrtle Beach. The course has been upgraded recently and includes a set of "Perch" tee boxes that play over 8,100 yards, making it the state's longest golf course.
Super senior and player-friendly tee boxes up front have also been installed. This traditional low country layout features not only rolling undulations in it but mature Carolina pines, an abundance of wildlife and beautiful natural landscaping.

Loved this course. I would highly recommend this course. Friendly staff and the hot dog was excellent!
Enjoyable round
Friendly staff. starter sent us off 10 as a twosome. Kept pace with couple in front of us all day, never waited. Cart gal made well timed passes. Course in good shape. greens had moderate breaks and rolled true with reasonable speed. Carts are fairly new and powerful. Ladies get a huge advantage on the tee boxes. They even have junior tees. Some tight holes where you have to draw or hug tree line (😭) lots of sand.
The Eagle Nest is a very nice course.
Had a great time. Paired up with another 2some. Condition of the greens were very good! Challenging but accommodating for seniors. 👍
Quality course
For the money it was a good course. Fairways were good, greens not to fast, and course was challenging. You get to use several different clubs to play here.
Poor pace
Today, 4 hours to play 14 holes, so we left. It would have taken another hour to finish based on the number of players ahead of us as we drove in. The 12th hole, a par 3 ... one group were on the green and we were the third group waiting there to tee off, the ranger drove through all of us and kept on going,
PAY MORE FOR A DIFFERENT COURSE
I have played Eagle Nest 6 or 7 times as part of a package coming to NC. This will be the last time. The fairways have no grass. Greens are ok. Pace of play is a disaster. We had an afternoon tee time. Arrive at the course, only to find out a high school event is taking place. Shame on the course, for taking ours and many others money, to play behind it. They also compounded the problem, by allowing two parents and two others to "follow " along but play. 3 groups now trying to play, in the space, and time, allotted for two. We will pay a little more and play somewhere else!
Billard Table Fairways
The only way that I can describe the fairways, was like trying to hit a fairway shot off of the top of a billiard table. There was virtually no grass, just hard packed sand.
The greens were in better shape, however around every hole there was the doughnut effect. I had at least 14 putts that were directly on line until they were 2 inches from the hole and then curved sharply left or right and missed the hole. Somebody forgot to tamp down around the new hole after they moved it.
The course layout was enjoyable and the staff were great
Fix the fairways and the greens and you have a winner !
As many as 5 groups on the same hole on several occasions over the 18 holes!
Terrible Course
First of all there was a group of 8 players all playing together in front of us, slowed down the entire course! Took 5 1/2 hours to play. Course marshal said nothing. Fairways were very dry and dead. Greens were super fast because they were so dry. Clubhouse closed and all locked up before we even finished our round, no washrooms before we had to drive home. Needless to say will not play here again!
Nice layout but fairways were bare
Love the course but won't be going back till May or June . Must play in Little River when you are there.
