About

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.

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.

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

Placement Golf on Steroids

First of all the course was an excellent value with COVID pricing. The course conditions and staff were good too. I just didn't like PAR 70 course with only two par fives and there were many short dog leg left holes that require a perfectly placed tee ball with an iron or fairway wood. The gimmick hole GAMBLER is one of the bright spots. The par threes are short but fun. i doubt I will ever play this course again but it is ONLY because of the placement golf layout and not the condition of the course or the staff. The other two courses are always in good shape also.

Arnie's Place at the Beach

Played everywhere over 40 years. I love this course. It has all the feel of greatness and deserves everything ever said about it. No longer on the 100 list, but it should be. It is a perfect example of a Parkland Course. You can pay much more in Myrtle, and my rate was Covid19 impacted, but this stands with other Myrtle Beach notables like Caledonia, True Blue, Love at Barefoot. The Golf press has simply forget it is here.
