Played yesterday!

Wasn’t notified that the greens were punched until the cart guy mentioned it…

Nonetheless, the greens rolled incredibly well.

We played among the morning member outing but never really had to wait on a shot (not for long anyway).

Very friendly staff overall. Challenging course.

Course was nice even though greens and fairways were punched on Tuesday.

Would love to play again this fall.

Founders Club

The course staff and the restaurant staff was very friendly. The course greens had been punched, but the clubhouse let me know before I paid. However, they were very slow and bumpy. I would like to play again once the greens have healed. After our first 9 we stopped at the clubhouse to get a hotdog and drink. After we return to the course at hole number 10, there was three groups of golfers that were playing together that jumped in front of us. So the back nine was not played. We just replayed the front 9 due to the heat and the wait of elderly golfers and a group of women golfers. The course layout was very nice and enjoyable., However, I would love to continue playing my round. With so many options of golf course courses, I’m not sure I will play here again, but would like to have seen the back 9.

First time, out of town

You are greeted by some of the nicest guys and they were more than helpful with directions with us being out of towners. Course is absolutely beautiful. It had poured the previous day and barely affected the course. Pace of play was slow but they explained that it’s tough with it being high traffic for the tourism. Overall amazing. Will come back.

Greens are in bad shape, which made for an overall poor experience. I won’t be back

Good Course

The layout was very good. Fairways and greens were very good, as well. A little rough around the edges, but that is due to dormant Bermuda vs the actual course itself. I think is summer it would be very good. We had a really good time there. Pace of play was just fine. Recommend the course.

Founder First Round Year

Decent course, played here often in past years. Found it extremely dry and sandy - heard no rain here for some time. Greens were nice. Pace was perfect. Joined group of 3, it was a good relaxing round (my first for this year). Price was perfect....

Staff is outstanding and a challenging course

From the bag drop to returning the cartridge, the staff was there to help us. The course was a little damp but very playable. The greens had some dressing but still ran with speed and true to alignment. Looking forward to playing the course on my next visit to the Myrtle Beach area.
