MBN

First time guest from CT. Course was nice and I enjoyed playing it. We had a 1:28 tee time but unfortunately were not able to finish our round due to extremely slow play by the group in front of us. We only could play15 holes. That was very disappointing. Drink carts should end after a certain time and only be allowed at tee boxes. A delay for the drink cart in the middle of the fairway by the group in front of also contributed to not finishing as dusk was setting in. Overall a good course but not sure if I will return on my next trip in January.

Fairways

Fairways were hard panned. Some were completely burnt and the drives bounced higher than if they were frozen.

Myrtle Beach National West Course

The conditions were a mess. No grass on tees and fairways. A lot of play- 5 hr round. Greens were good..

We played North course the next day and conditions were very good on all fairways, tees and greens. It was like night and day. We can’t believe they have the same superintendent. Don’ play the West, pay more and play the North.

Nice course and layout. Greens are a little tricky but in pretty good shape for October. Over all a good course especially if you can get a deal.

Quality old track in Myrtle Beach

Very fine course with a mature layout, semi tight fairways and multiple tees for all abilities. Range is mostly sand so hard to get a good read on your warmup. Staff was excellent and we played in 4 hours. Would recommend though much more reasonable green fees for locals, than vacationers

Fun Layout, Very Playable

Layout was interesting and offered some challenges, but not ridiculously hard. Conditions of greens were above average; rolled true. Tee boxes were horrendous, little to no grass on many of them.

Staff friendliness and helpfulness was top notch.

West course

Fairly open course with moderate challenges. Found some areas were too wet or over watered and made approach shots stop dead short of the green. Overall it is still a magnificent course and clubhouse with great service from all.

Great course for a friendly round

Facility was well maintained. Staff was very friendly and the players I was grouped with were very friendly. Would have liked electronic distance to green in the carts.

Myrtle Beach Nyl-West Course

Nice layout, enjoyable course. Course management very necessary on some holes with a couple hard doglegs.

Staff on and off course were great. The one criticism I have is I went out as a single with an early tee time-hooked up with another single as did the three singles in front of us. All played at a good pace until the back nine when inexplicably the ranger put out not just one, but two groups out in front of us. We waited for 20 mins for the 10th tee box to clear. Not terrific, and I hope that kind of poor course management on the part of the starter doesn’t occur on a regular basis.

Good challenging course

I was in Myrtle for vacation and got out to play a round and thoroughly enjoyed my time on this course. It’s a challenging layout especially if you don’t draw the ball, but the rough is pretty forgiving. The fairways and greens were in good shape, the tee boxes left a little to be desired. Overall I really liked this course, got paired with a nice couple and shot my best round ever on a par 72.
