Myrtle Beach National Golf Club - West Course

The WEST course was fun, challenging, and fair outing. Playing conditions were great, as usual. The greens played a little slow, but that's to be expected at a resort golf location. Pace of play was very steady. The cart was in good condition as well. The only negative was the driving range. Absolutely no grass available anywhere in the designated hitting areas.

Played the West course. We had an 8:02 am tee time and pulled up the starter and he told us to jump in and play with the twosome that was on the tee box so we drove up and jumped off the cart and hit both our tee shots. The other twosome was a male and female who told us they were brand ne players. First off I am a strong supporter of growing the game to new people. The female had only hit her ball about a total of 50 yards in 4 shots and the guy hit two out of bounds. We suggested they play the best ball and may want to play a little quicker pace to avoid a big backup from the groups behind us. They struggled and did the same thing on the second hole so I called the clubhouse and asked them to send someone out to us to handle the situation. He showed up and I pulled him aside and explained what was happening and that I was the one who called. I told him this 3 times at this point. He then told me that we needed to pick up the pace of play because someone had already called in and it looked like we were behind the group ahead of us. I then repeated that IT WAS ME who had called for him to handle the situation. The other people had pulled up their cart to us at this point and he then says out loud "S you (pointing at me) called about them playing slow?" This is the WORST possible way he could've handled this. I am very disappointed in his actions and he put me and my son in a horrible situation to say the least. We ended up skipping ahead two holes to avoid a 6 hour round. I wasn't mad at the two new golfers but I was highly upset at the ranger for what he did in the whole ordeal. This is the second time I've had an incited at this course and we will never be back.

Played the West course. We had an 8:02 am tee time and pulled up to the starter and he told us to jump in and play with the twosome that was currently on the tee box. We drove up, jumped off the cart and hit both our tee shots. The other twosome was a male and female and were brand new to golf. First off I am a strong supporter of growing the game to new people. The female only hit her ball a total of 50 yards after 4 shots so we suggested they play best ball between them. They struggled again on the second hole so I made a call to the clubhouse and asked them to send a ranger out to handle the situation so we wouldn’t have several groups behind us so backed. He showed up and I pulled him aside and explained what was happening and told him I was the one who called. I repeated this to him 3 times. He then told me that we needed to pick up the pace because we were already too far behind the group ahead and someone had already called and complained. I then repeated a fourth time that it was ME who had called. The other two people had pulled up their cart at this point and were still not sure what was happening and the ranger says out loud so all could hear “so you (meaning me) called and complained about them?” It was the worst possible way he could’ve been handled. I am very disappointed in his actions and he put me and my son in a horrible situation. We ended up skipping ahead two holes to avoid staying in what would have been a 6 hour round. I wasn’t mad at the two new golfers at all. I was highly upset at the ranger who botched the situation up so miserably. This is the second time I have had an incident at this course and we will never be back.

Pace of play was excellent. Course conditions average. Tee boxes and greens looked like a cow pasture on some holes. I played here years ago and was a bit disappointed in the current conditions. Grill was closed in the middle of the afternoon. We played on a Saturday afternoon.

Some Fairways not in very good shape, greens very slow.

As good of condition were the greens, the tee boxes were awful. Very scratchy and little grass to be seen

It’s definitely a great golf course, but the slow play on every hole is a real issue.

It’s a rather pricey place, but if they don’t manage the pace of play better, I honestly wouldn’t want to go back.

We played on an extremely busy Sunday. Tee times were delayed early due to frost. Course conditions were ok, as the fairways were not in spring shape and the greens were bumpy (mostly due to ball marks that were not repaired (c'mon people)! Staff were friendly and apologized for our almost 5 hour round. I would definitely play there again but not on weekends.

Fairways had some bare spots but greens were pretty good for February.

we went off first tee time. They had split tees. Starter said don’t play too fast because we would have to wait till the last tee time at 10:30 to start. We came around to 10 tee . Had to wait 25 minutes. Then played behind cold golfers . It was a joke. Played 10 hole and tee off on 11. 25 minutes, the people in front of us had no idea of ready golf. And the woman walked all the way to green. Had enough and went somewhere else.

A cool breezy winter day of golfing. The course was in decent shape though some greens rolled slower. The carts take some getting used to, a simple brake pedal stops and holds the cart., no extra brake pedal attached

Course was in pretty good shape for December. Staff out front and in shop very friendly, as always. Saw beverage cart a few times during round . . . just right. Always enjoy this course when in town. Played with two younger players (sons) who had a fun day as well. Thanks!

I was very excited to play this course on my recent trip to Myrtle beach from Connecticut. I heard many good things about it. The course was in nice shape and the layout was good. Unfortunately, we were not able to finish all 18 holes due to darkness and slow play from the group in front of us even with a 1:26 tee time we were only able to finish 15 of 18 holes. Twice on the back nine the group in front of us held up play to buy drinks from the cart girl while in the middle of the fairway. This along with their overall slow play prevented us from finishing the full 18. I’m planned to play the Kings course in Jan but I’m not sure I will. return

First time playing. Fairways were brown and very tight, almost like hard pan. Was told by staff, fairway sprinkler system was having problems. Greens were slow for my taste, but I did play in the afternoon. Layout and course setup was very traditional and fair. I wouldn’t pay top dollar, but I would play again when fairways come around.

Keep in mind this review is for the west course.
