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.

Late afternoon 9

Went out to play a quick 9 on a weekday afternoon. Found this course on GolfNow and read some reviews. Only had time for 9, and was told to play back nine.

Course structure (bones) are interesting, BUT....... course is in TERRIBLE shape. Greens hadn't really been mown in several days at least. Yardage markers on most holes are either broken or just missing. Fairways in very rough shape. Plastic lining under some greens starting to show through. Sad actually given the design and layout are interesting, but condition and lack of maintenance just damage the experience. I would not recommend this course until they somehow spend a few million.

Great course layout

My only issue with the course is the cart paths are very dusty. If you are the second cart you and everything with you gets covered in dust.

Nice course

Nice course location was great, for north myrtle beach area. One major improvement would be upgrade the golf carts they looked 1990 vintage. Also lets get into the 21st century and put GPS on the Carts. For $60.00 green fees you should have GPS. The starter was friendly.

Could have been better

Round started great. Greeted by gentlemen who brought cart to car and staff inside was friendly for 7am. Fairways were poor at best, greens were mostly good. One of the par 3s was being repaired around the green. Had to ask the workers to move their cart that was in front of the green after our ball hit it and they continued shoveling sand 2 feet away during 2nd shot. Mentioned to gentleman inside after round and rather than apologizing he just said ok he’ll let them know. Probably won’t return
