Myrtle Beach National Golf Club - King's North Course
About
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.

the sixth hole Photo submitted by dshot22 on 03/17/2013
Great condition
Course is in great condition. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were immaculate. Pace of play was really good for the amount of golfers at the course. Course had lots of challenges, but did reward good shots. Highly recommend playing.
Fun Course will play again next time in Myrtle
The course was in great shape, greens were a little slow because of overseeding but can't fault the overall experience for that. The wind was blowing around 15mp and the water holes became new owners of about 6 Pro-V1's but all in was a fun day. The pace of play was good, would have been excellent if not for the double teeing as we had to wait at the turn for about 20 minutes but the breakfast sandwich I got during this time was fantastic.
First time and Loved playing Kings North
Great course layout with good conditions. Many different hole designs with lots of water and bunkers. Better be straight and accurate. A fair test of golf for sure. Will be adding MB National Courses to my yearly trip.
Fun Layout That Requires Thought . . . But Slow Pace. ;-(
Only one complaint about this course: Lack of Course Marshalls to keep everyone moving along. A 5+ hr is not fun. However, this seems to be the main theme in most Myrtle Beach courses. No one seems to care.
We found the course to have generous fairways with the right mix of forced water carries and layup shots. Angles to the greens were an important part of the play so that will appeal to the 'thinking man' rather than the 'grip it, rip it' player.
Course conditions were very good with only a few spots where some grass/TLC was needed. Bunkers were excellent. Tee boxes were - who cares anyway, they were good enough.
Staff in and outside the clubhouse were excellent. We actually felt like guests!
Excellent Condition
Played on a Thursday. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Course was very crowded and the pace of play was a little slow on the front nine but the staff did a great job and everything was good on the back.
My favorite MB golf course
Let me first say that I have visited Myrtle Beach for golf trips too many times to count over the past 40+ years. Without a doubt, King’s North at Myrtle Beach National remains my favorite course. Conditions are always excellent. This visit did not disappoint either. Lush fairways, well manicured greens and tee boxes made for a memorable experience.
While certainly not the top end of the premium golf courses available in the area, the value experience for the money is worth every dollar. Staff are friendly as well.
Can’t wait for another visit in the future and will definitely play multiple times if the schedule permits.
Great Find
I had been searching for a course while on a weekend getaway for our 4-some. Two of us are pretty regular golfers and the other two not. We opted for King’s north due to its tee time availability and from calling around to several courses we did not have concern for course condition due to aerated fairways or greens (Note - they punch their course in the off season so in the prime time you don’t have to be concerned about it!)
All in all, we had a great time. There definitely are some challenging holes due to the layout of sand traps or water hazards, but hey, that’s part of the game!
All in all the condition was overall great. The greens rolled true, the fairways were very nice, there were only a handful of tee boxes that needed a little love.
The pace of play for 8 am was alright, not fast by any means, but not too too slow. We finished the round in about 4.5 maybe closing in on 5 hours. The group ahead of us was a tad slow, and the group behind us started to play up on us a few times - which we asked them to pump their breaks a little, and they complied.
Good Course
Course was great, only comment is the greens were a little slow. Could’ve been a little bit more water available on the course or a more active cart girl, it was low 90’s no water or beverage cart from 11-17 holes.
Great Course!
Loved the layout, staff were A+, pace of play was great, all around great day of golf. Will definitely play here again!
Alway a treat
Superb layout and great conditions with no 2 holes alike....create a great golfing experience. A must play...bring a good iron game with lot of carries to guarded greens.
Great layout and condition
Exceeded our expectations. Very challenging yet pkayable. A beautiful course. Staff were super friendly and accommodating.
Beautiful course
Very nice course and visuals. Lots of water but player friendly landing zones are more generous than they look
Myrtle Beach National
Course in good shape didn’t really care for the distance on most par 4’s all close to same length, staff was a little cold and not very friendly but it was a wet day! Enjoyed the round anyway!
Kings North
Gnats are non stop wherever you go at this place in the summer. Hard to focus over the ball. Although the few iconic holes are appealing to the eye, the value for money is so so. Much better places to play in the area at that price point
