Indigo Creek Golf Club
About
Set in the heart of the Grand Strand's Lowcountry plantation area, Indigo Creek is laid out through large oaks and flowing creeks, especially the back nine, though the views have been somewhat spoiled by housing. The course is built over an old rice and indigo plantation with some nice elevation changes, lakes, waste bunkers and undulating greens. It's a Willard Byrd design, with Bermuda greens and a slope rating of 128.
Indigo Creek is another of those Myrtle Beach-area courses that fell into a disreputable state only to be saved by a new ownership group. One golfer who'd had a bad experience there described it after the refurbishment as the best-conditioned course in Myrtle Beach.
Indigo Creek isn't overly long at 6,744 yards (the shortest of its four sets of tees shortens to 5,921. It is an exciting course with an significant number of doglegs, bunkers and water. The back nine is set among giant oaks and gently flowing creeks.

Golf in December! Indigo Creek Photo submitted by Aldostin1 on 12/27/2019
Greens were in bad shape
Played after all the rain, so dismissing the uncut grass. I could tell the greens were in bad shape before the storms. There were only 2 decent greens all day. The rest had large spots without any grass and rough surfaces.
Greens
Overall the round was well worth the cost. The greens were very sketchy. It appears the course is on its out.
Don’t waste your money quit after 9 holes
When we set up the tee time we were told that a few greens had some bad spots….. we quit after nine holes. Probably atleast 4 holes on the front should have had temporary greens set up. Every green on the front has bare spots/ areas.
We were first out and made the turn to find a 4 some follows by a single teeing off on the back. There were maybe 15-20 cars in the parking lot so no reason to be starting people off on 10. We could have dealt with the poor conditions but couple that with expected slow play on the back nine and it wasn’t worth staying.
Nice layout
The staff are the best, man inside was more than courteous, great layout, greens were a little burnt but that can be expected for this time of year. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting a great day on the course. Five tees for every level of golfer.
Could’ve been worse i guess.
Took a chance on a HotDeal to play a course i haven’t before. In pictures it looks solid, in reality the course seems to have backed off on maintenance on the greens. The Fairways were in decent shape, that’s about it. The greens were patchy at best, some greens okay but so overgrown to fight the greens dying they were impossible to putt on. Basically play tee to green and take the 2 putt. If you’re looking to save a few bucks just pay the extra 10 and go elsewhere
Seen better days
Played in early AM; was told to start off hole ten but unfortunatley was behind members Wednesday Golf group. They must have been betting life-changing money because they took forever to hit any shot. Our twosome couldn't play through because they had the whole course. And on most holes the greens we brown and bare. Looks like it was a good course but desperately needs so TLC.
Treat you right!
The greens are under repair and the staff was honest about that up front and gave us a rain check for another round of golf. They treated us right. Loved the layout and the course. We made a few of the greens “2 putt greens” but other than that loved the time on the course and we will play again this week using the rain checks.
Enjoyed the Course
Enjoyed playing the course. Overall the course is in good shape. There appears to have been some damage done of sort to a lot of the greens. Not sure what happened. I’m sure they are working on repairs. I would like to play the course again, but would want to know if the greens have been repaired before going again.
Course should be closed
Every green was 90% sand and groves everywhere. No way to get a true putt through sand and dried up dirt. I would not have played there if I knew what the conditions were. Fairways were ok, grass was better than normal. Pace of play was quick because not very many people playing.
Good value
Not crowded, good layout, friendly stafff, but greens were a little rough. For the money, it was a decent value.
I would not play this course again
There is no grass on most of the greens. They probably need to setup temp greens and start over. There is no water on the course.
