Rating 78.1

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.

Thank you for leaving a review. Eagle Nest doesn’t overseed fairways to help maintain and protect the greens from Poa Annua. Poa Annua increases the bumps on the greens. Bermuda is the natural grass for the area which is completely different from bent grass and other Northern grasses. The North Myrtle Beach area has Bermuda grass which grows late March thru late November. In the winter months Bermuda goes dormant and is not dead!! We’re sorry for the tight lies during the winter season but we need to protect the most import thing, which is our greens. The other thing, we try to educate golfers about grain in the Bermuda grass greens, they produce a smooth roll down grain and slower roll into the grain. The grain usually grows towards the setting sun. I hope that explains the conditions and Bermuda. There are a couple of exclusive Myrtle Beach courses which do the same thing!!

Terrible

From tee to green, & especially the rough were in awful condition since the course was not over seeded with winter rye grass & the Bermuda grass has just begun to grow. The greens were long , scarred & bumpy & impossible to putt. The sand traps are decent but need to be edged.

For $63.00 green fee … go somewhere else!

Great time!

Fairly easy course at the beginning, but the last few holes are pretty challenging. We were paired with another twosome, but they quit after 9 holes, stating that their backs hurt, but we think they didn't like being beaten by 2 women!! lol We'll be back next year!!

Course needs work

Course was in terrible shape and slow play a real problem. Traps not raked. Greens had bare spots. Sod that had been laid down a year or two ago was still laying on top of traps in the shape of a square. This could be a decent course but it has become a mess. Some of the grouois so hard no grass will grow on it. Very disappointed.
