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.

I’ve played better for less $

It was ok but nothing to brag about. This was my 6th course in 6 days So I had others to compare it to. It was average but expensive relative to its course condition.

Surprisingly good course

We played here in the off season. For the price it was a great buy. The layout was good. Some easy holes and some that will challenge you. The greens were pretty good. No over-seed but putted pretty true. The starter was a great guy. He got my wife and I off a little early so we were not behind a large group. We played in 3 hours and 15 minutes. Will play again on our summer vacation in August.

Great value

We are a couple in our 60s and we were paired with a delightful couple in their 70s. It was a very enjoyable round. We were warned by the starter that it’d be slow as the course was very busy and it was cart path only as there was heavy rains the day before. The course was in very good shape, though muddy and the greens were a bit slow and bumpy due to the snow they had recently. Regardless it was nice, long, no stress course with reasonable difficulty. I played the same ball till hole 13! We’ll definitely play it again when we’re back in town. Staff was universally pleasant and friendly.

Long fairways!

Great course. More than 8,000 yards. Very quiet in the winter, with no waiting. We finished in 3 hours.

Wow

Been about 3 years since playing this course. I will be back. Layout is very good. Doglegs both rt to left and left to rt also straight holes as well. Bunkering is well placed and the greens have a subtle uphill Ness to them and slope from back to front. Take enough club and iron shot on front of green will more then likely spin back off. Greens in great shape ( please don't forget fix your pitch mark and 1 more) Ronnie the starter there super nice guy need to pay him more. I walked course because of the 45 degree temps yesterday.

All and all fun course Im a 4.5ghin but generous room off the tee for all skill levels.
