About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 72
Length 7017 yards
Slope 137
Rating 74.2

For years, the King's North Course at Myrtle Beach National has been the most requested and best recognized golf course on the Grand Strand. The par-3, third hole with its island green and South Carolina-shaped sandtraps has become the signature hole for Myrtle Beach. King's North features some dramatic and unique holes. The par-5 sixth hole is nicknamed "The Gambler" and features an unusual island fairway which offers golfers a risk-reward short-cut to the green for a chance at eagle.The 18th hole, nicknamed "The Bull's-eye" by Golf Magazine, is a sight to behold. More than 40 sandtraps guard either side of the fairway and the green reaches out into a lake offering, at times, a very tempting pin placement.

Anticipation Lost

Myrtle Beach National North Course is undergoing some construction. Only the front nine is playable. Players are being rerouted to the front nine of the West course. Since I had already played the West course the day before, this option did not appeal to me. Consequently I canceled my Tee Time

North and West course

We played the North front nine first which was very nice. Conditions were excellent. We were switched to the West front nine at the turn due to renovations on the North back nine. The condition of the West front nine was not good. Some of the tee boxes had no grass and some of the greens had bare spots.

Never disappoints

Played this course 4 times and it’s always in great shape. First time playing the North course since its makeover and those 9 holes were perfectly laid out. Cannot wait for the back 9 to be done. Played the south course twice this trip as well. Challenging enough, however very player friendly as well.

Kings north is awesome pace of play was bad

I loved playing kings north since I love to play all Arnold Palmer courses. The course in mid May was in perfect shape. The only hole that wasn’t in the greatest shape was hole 18. By the sounds of it they were in the process of getting ready to re do that back 9. The club house was packed full of awesome gear and accessories but the club house needs to be redone. Very outdated. Golf carts were in rough shape but I wasn’t there to be in the club house or to just drive in the carts. The course was awesome!!

First time played

This Arnold Palmer design is a challenge. I found it a bit long for my game, but the greens were in excellent shape (after 3-4 days of moderate rain). The sand bunkers on the back nine are being re-worked this summer. Staff was courteous and accommodating, and there is a snack/beverage cart available. Overall, I’d go back.

The best course in MB National

Second time playing this course. Fun and nice layout. We paid 135$USD, which I find a bit high for the quality. Golf carts are a bit old and they would need some new ones. Some golf cart paths are broken/cracked and would need "some love". Otherwise, the course is presently in great shape. The greens are beautiful, but a bit slow when we compared it to other courses we played this week. Nice course and layout, I would be back, but be careful to the price you pay.

Challenging but fun

A group of us in town randomly chose Kings North to play and glad we did. When we arrived it looked very busy. We were a little apprehensive, but there are 3 courses on property and it looked busier than it was. Bag drop was painless and clubs were on our cart by the time we checked in at the club house. Starter was very thorough in explaining the course and very helpful for us out of towners. As for the course itself, the layout was fantastic. It seemed like there was water on every hole. The greens were big but very undulating. They rolled pretty good for March. The only negative of the round is we often found our ball in the fairway and in an old divot or indentation. Not sure if it was because it was early in the season or what. In all the course was challenging but was a lot of fun.

Lots of Fun

This is my 2nd time playing this course and I love it. The conditions were top notch again. The variety of holes especially on the front are really fun. Came within 4” of an albatross on “The Gambler”par 5. The greens ran as smooth as any I have played. I wish the starter was a bit happier than he showed today but hey, we can’t have it all.

You have to wait at every hole.

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.

Great choice

First was greeted by Luc who noticed my Quebec licence and greeted me in French, a first in the two months here. Beautiful pro shop, with excellent service. Very nice grass range. Played the North, fairways were very good for early spring, love the grass, not the typical tight lie kind, so easy to make good contact on ball. Greens were perfect to putt, average speed, but firm on approach shots, so they did not hold well. Bunkers had nice sand, may a few up and downs. Glad I finally played here, it was on a bucket list of courses in the area.

Starter was great and friendly - gave us tips on the course which were very helpful. Course in great shape for this time of year. Front 9 re-done and back nine will be done in beginning mid-May. A lot of fun. Love the layout.

Premium price....Not premium condition or options.

Played in January. Course was in good condition, but not in the condition that you would expect for a premium course at a premium price.

The good: Bag drop guy was one of the friendliest and most helpful we have encountered.

Greens were very good and quite fast.

There were a lot of crews working on the bunkers and most of them were in very nice shape for this time of year..

The not so good: Fairways were just fair, lots of bare areas. Looks like they scrimped on

overseeding..

Could use some better direction signs to some hole.

We expected a better conditioned course for the price and the fact that it is considered one of the Premier courses in the area. Will not be in a hurry to return.
