Nice course and staff.

Greens rolled well and were in good shape. Layout was playable and somewhat forgiving as large pines were cleaned out underneath for pitch outs if needed. I believe most courses in the area are very busy and close to 5 hours for 18 holes is close to a standard. Would play this course again or any one of the three courses at this location. Enjoyed the experience even with slower play.

Great start with course

I/we play this course every time when in MB. It is one of the most playable courses you can find. It is fun and somewhat forgiving. Pace of play is mostly enjoyable. You can enjoy the course as you play it and your game will not suffer for it.

Best of the three MBN courses!

I've always enjoyed playing MBN West. My favorite of the three, and mainly because they seem to soak the approaches on both Kings North and South Creek. No so, on the West course in my opinion. A Lot of fun to play, short from Senior tees, but still challenging!

Enjoyable Course-Prime Times Rate

Course was in great shape especially for this time of year. Cart path only on just one hole. Fairways firm with roll, sand traps actually have sand and the greens I would rate at 90% good condition, and very fast.

I have played at MB National several times in the past year, but not on the West Course since 2015.

I don't know why I don't play it more often as I think it is a nice challenge for a mid level golfer (17 handicap) from the White Tees.

Bottom line, pick a nice day, play this course, I think you'll like the experience.

Disappointed the 2nd time around

Played this course last year and it was outstanding. This year was a different story. Course was in rough shape. On the 3rd or 4th hole my brother and I were walking to the green and he said something about them only mowing the front of the green. Ended up having about 7 or 8 greens that way and it was because they had laid new turf off the majority of the green. Of course they won’t tell you anything like that before hand when your booking the tee times..

Nice course, slow pace of play

Played this course during my spring break. I enjoyed the layout and there were some challenging holes. However, pace of play was very slow at times and even after talking to the ranger, nothing changed. Maybe it was just crowded that day but overall it was a good course.

It was in similar condition to King's North, but not quite as well kept because it looks like it gets much more play. Greens not quite as quick. Traps had a different , firmer, darker type of sand. Much less trouble (water, sand, etc.) to get into.

A good course for higher handicappers. You'll get the feel of a high end, well manicured course without the forced carries and difficulties of the much, much, much more difficult King's North course on the same property.

Count on MB Natl for good conditions

Played all 3 MB Nat'l courses dozens of times over 20 years of going to Myrtle Beach. The west course was in excellent condition. Everything was in great shape. This course is wide open for the most part. The greens were excellent. Of the 4 courses I played this week this one was in the best shape. As it turns out this was the cheapest price that I played but it was in the best condition.

Fairly Wide Fairways

Bag Drop very busy with 3 course but enough people to move you thru. Counter staff not over friendly. Course was in excellent shape. Pace was fine on front nine but slowed down on back. Not a lot of trouble on the course but challenging enough for weekend golfers.

Good course

We have played this course each time we have visited Myrtle Beach. Course was in good condition. Good service. Women's tees are very fair. Carts now have GPS. Only drawback, GPS sometimes play ads that you cannot pause while player is taking their shot.
