The Heritage Club was built on a plot of fertile land along the beautiful Waccamaw River Trail. Over 600 acres of giant magnolias, 300-year-old oaks, fresh water lakes and marshes have been transformed into a golfing community that rivals the finest in the world. The Heritage Club reflects a unique landscape carved by the whims of the river. A magnificent avenue of oaks leads to the welcoming clubhouse overlooking the Waccamaw River.

Ranked among the “50 Best Public Courses in America” by Golf Digest, the Par 71 Heritage Club, a Dan Maples design, follows the natural contours of the land, stretching out beside long abandoned rice fields. The Heritage Club course features spacious, rolling fairways and large, undulating greens, surrounded by lush stands of crepe myrtle, camellias and azaleas. Heavily landscaped areas of wildflowers and flowering shrubs will maintain the beauty of this beautiful setting for generations to come.

Disappointed

I played this golf course on Friday, April 23. The price, $45 w/cart, was right for our 1:18 pm tee time which began from the back 9. I was disappointed with the courses decision to drop it's lunch and drink specials but I understand the business decision which was made due to the pandemic. My real disappointment was the conditions of the course particularly the greens on the back 9. While the front greens were better the greens looked to be in disrepair and lacking the proper maintenance. I've played this tract just about everytime I visit Myrtle Beach dating back to early 2000s. This was probably the worst condition of my dozen or so visits to this top notch tract. Hopefully the conditions improve for my next visit. The silver lining is that it appears that golfers are beginning to return to Myrtle Beach as indicated by my late tee time which I made almost two weeks prior.

Beautiful place

What a great experience. The green fee includes breakfast, lunch, two drinks, and range balls. This is a world class facility. All the holes are unique. The staff is awesome, pure Southern hospitality. The starter gave me some awesome tips on how to play the course. This course was in my bucket list and it did not disappoint. Despite behind winter season, the course was lush and green. The putts rolled slow in the early morning but as the sun warmed up the greens, they started rolling pretty true. I was paired up with members of Heritage and they were super nice with this outsider. Despite my bad score this will be a memorable round that I won't forget. I will come back.

Great Round with Added Entertainment

Played Heritage Club 18 holes after 5 pm...great pace of play..perfect weather ..beautiful course and landscape..large live oaks with spanish moss throughout gives course that good ole southern feel..historical plaques and cemeteries is a reminder of days from the past and our history..... 12th thru 14th along with 18th holes are water holes with nice view of water, gators and birds along with the beautiful surrounding homes ..the par 4 14th hole is rated number 1 handicap for good reason especialy from white or blue tees...I play hole as a par 5 ...VERY challenging undulating 2 tier greens ...fairways and tee boxes great shape...a homeowner on the 3rd hole carrying yard waste across the 3rd hole fairway and disposing it in the woods was quite comical and contributed to my round ending with a big smile on my face...I scored best round of my life after 50 yrs of playing the torturous brutal humbling game we all love !!!

Favorite course in Myrtle Beach area

Great layout, no 2 holes are alike. Greens were in great shape, large multi-level in many instances. Beautiful large

trees line the fairways and sometimes are in the fairways, some really great hole designs. Wasn't perfect but the entire course was in great shape. Staff helpful and they included bkfst sandwich and lunch with couple drink tickets with the golf, and the lunch was very good and the drafts good and cold on hot day. One of the most picturesque courses in the area.

Always enjoyable, and in the best shape I've seen it in years

Heritage gets overlooked because of its two more famous neighbors in Caledonia and True Blue, but I rate it almost as highly because of its less well-known connection to Mike Strantz, who made significant design changes to the course in 1993 while he was building Caledonia just a stone's throw up the street.

Inconsistent/just-okay conditioning has held it back for a long time, but my visit on 7/2/2020 was a pleasant surprise; Heritage was in the best shape I've seen it in about 10 rounds over more than a decade. The greens were a particular bright spot; there was some contamination of the Bermuda grass on a few back-nine greens, but even they putted nicely. It still may not offer quite the premium-type experience of Caledonia and True Blue, but given its lower green fees, it's a better value than ever as long as it stays in good shape.

One of the best on the Grand Strand

Great challenging layout. The course is in great condition.

Large sloping greens adds the the challenge of a consistent two putt.

Nice finishing hole. Par 5 dogleg over water at the approach.

Love playing here.

Always a fun round at The Heritage Club

27 golfers from Canada on our annual Myrtle Beach trip played our first round of our week at The Heritage Club.

It rained off and off for most of the round. Very on at the end.

The course was in great shape and the large greens rolled smooth.

I really enjoy this course with it's variety of holes. You really need to keep your ball in play on the back nine with all that water.

Breakfast, lunch and two beers were included as this course is part of the Legends group.

Everyone in our group enjoyed this course.

Always one of our favorites coming to Myrtle beach. For the money one of the best courses around the area. Staff and cart girls are always extremely courteous. Has interesting holes and can be very challenging from the back tees.

Great value and staff

The course was in great shape. Greens rolled well but a tad slower than in the past rounds there. The staff was excellent and very friendly and accommodating for our large group. One of the best values around with the meals and lunch included!

Nice conditions

Played a pre-World Am round at Heritage. Course was in very good condition. Greens were nice, albeit a bit slow. Fairways, bunkers, tee boxes all in good shape. Staff at bag drop and, in pro shop and restaurant all friendly and helpful.

Had breakfast buffet and lunch there. Food was good.

Great Value

I last played at Heritage Club in 1998. I liked it then and still like it in 2018. Good condition. Huge greens. I had a 135 foot putt on one green.

Pace of play is awful because they go off both sides. When we got to the 10th tee - 3 groups on the tee box.

The best thing about the $70 greens fee. This included breakfast, lunch and 2 beers. You can't beat that!

Poorly Managed

Our tee time was 12:10 and we did not get off until after 1PM; reason being they had added a foursome to both the front and back morning tee times.

Then did not ranger the course properly.

They did not care that they put our group over 45 minutes late on our tee time and fouled up our evening dinner plans.

They do not move slow groups along which made the round even worse.

We play this course every year on our Spring trip; never again. Poorly, Poorly managed.

I have found Heaven, and Heritage is its name...

I brought my golf group of 28 down for our annual outing. Heritage Club was highly recommended, and they did not disappoint. The staff was first class, the course was awesome, and we had a blast! This course was one of the most scenic I've played, with the old oaks, Spanish moss, and the wildlife. Doglegs abound, along with water. Long holes, short holes, and everything in between, this course was a joy to play. Just have your putter dialed in!!!

The marshals came around periodically to maintain pace of play and were extremely friendly. I highly recommend this course!

Almost there

First time playing this course. We have played Caledonia, Litchfield, True Blue, etc, and we were so pleasantly surprised. Very similar feel to Caledonia, at less than half the price. Conditions are a little rough, greens and fairways are halfway back to normal. We played Tidewater, Thistle, and TPC Myrtle Beach on this trip as well, and it's the same story everywhere. Warm February started the growth, cool March killed everything. The people at Heritage were unbelievable. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Clubhouse was pristine. The layout alone makes it one of my favorite courses on the east coast, and definitely top 2 on the strand. We will be back!!

What a value and above average layout

A must play for the money. The deal they have is breakfast lunch and 2 drinks included! The layout is very good with the back nine the best and about 3 shots harder imo from the blue tees. Rough was tough so hit the FW. FWs were good enough to play it down and the tee boxes were great (looks like they may have done some work on the tees based on previous reviews). Greens were the only reason I didn't give it a 5. Sandy and were plugged about 2 weeks ago. Would package this with True Blue and Cal which are all within a mile of each other. Unlike Pawleys this over delivered.

S L O W ... and they do not care

This was our 3rd attempt to play at The Heritage. 1st attempt took us 5 3/4 hours to play 18 holes. 2nd attempt took 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes. 3rd time, we drove off after 9 holes in 3 1/4 hours, packed our stuff in the truck and left the cart in the parking lot. NEVER AGAIN will I set a foot on The Heritage. The pace of play is beyond horrible and the people working there could care less.

S L O W ... and they do not care

If you are good with 5 1/2 hour rounds, go to it at The Heritage. If you are no good with 5 1/2 hour rounds, avoid The Heritage like the plague. The place is the Mother-Ship for the Legends resort courses and it stays over-booked all the time. Mentioning it to anyone working at the course is useless. I own a place in the Pawley's Island area and play courses all up and down the Grand Strand when there but will never play at The Heritage again.

Heritage Still Hits it Outta The Park

Included in the round was a buffet style breakfast. Bacon, sausage, eggs, home fries, and a drink! Course was in great condition. Fairways in great shape, HUGE undulating greens in superb condition. Where you putted the ball, that's where it went. Very scenic course built on a former plantation with plenty of water an well guarded greens. I found the back much tougher than the front. If I was gonna nitpick some of the tees were a little ratty. But who G.A.S. about that? Your putting it on a tee man! At the end of the round we were treated to a complimentary lunch and 2 drinks. Are you freaking kidding me? Get down here and play this course people it's well worth it.
