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.

I do not recommend this course because

1-The course is not in good shape

2-It’s took 5 hours to play our 18 holes.

I think they over booking

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!!

Good Morning Daniel,

Thank you for leaving a review. We don't overseed the golf course except the tees in the winter,. We try to limit any Poa Annua from getting on the course and protecting the greens. Bermuda is usually dormant from December From. Mid April thru late November the Bermuda is healthy and the best conditions of the year... We were extremely busy the day you played, We get many players that haver not played before which doesn't help the pace of play later in the day. Best time for pace is the first couple of hours to start the day.

Tough shape

This course is in very tough shape. Fairways and rough were as hard as cement with balled spots through out. Impossible to get club though the ball and take a divot cleanly. One par 5’s tee box was closed and there was no mention of it till your were half way down the fairway on your first shot. I’d be embarrassed to charge people to play this course in these conditions. Very long frustrating day.

Don’t do it

Course conditions were terrible. Fairways had no consistent grass on them. Ground was as hard as cement with ruts throughout. Couldn’t get club through with any consistency.. Greens were better with a true roll but were painted green to cover balled spots. One of the par 5’s was a temp par 4 but wasn’t told about it. No signs on this hole or mention about it when starting. Overall not worth the money for a course like this. Very poor will not come back.
