Good, but not great

Course was in okay condition overall. Greens were probably a 5/10. Fairways are in mostly good condition, but there’s so many unplayable areas that are just off the fairways / greens that it makes for a long day unless your shots are perfect. Pace of play was abysmal. Playing solo and had to start on the back, but still ended up being stuck waiting for 10-15 minutes on every hole. Layout was fun and overall I enjoyed this course, but I’d like to see it for all it could be.

Great way to spend a vacation day

First time visit to the area. I was able to get on the course swiftly and played without being pushed out held up. Nice tight course for a great challenge but spaced out at the tee boxes for a competitive round of golf with others with different abilities. Would definitely put this course on my to do list moving forward.

Played twice in one week.

Played here 2 days ago. Couldn’t beat the price and pace of play. I was on vacation from PA and after reading the reviews of other courses it sounded like they would pair up solo or 2 somes to make a 4. I’m recovering from knee surgery and didn’t want to be paired up, given I didn’t know how I’d hit em. Both times I played at 330-4pm and played solo with a quick pace of play. Overall course is good and good bang for buck in Myrtle beach SC.

Good bang for your buck

It’s Mrytle Beach SC, I was impressed to find a course around $50 to play 18 w/ cart. Course is decent, a few greens had some areas on the green that needed some TLC. Fairways are decent. Tee boxes need some attention but are not horrible… Other than that I was pleased.

Nice course for the Money

Played this after it being recommended as a hidden gem in plain sight. I'm an Air Force veteran and they gave me a discount for that, which is nice considering this is the old Myrtle Beach AFB course. Overall it was in good condition even though it had rained really well the prior two days. The greens rolled true, the fairways were well kept and the tee boxes were also in good shape. Watch out for the fox squirrels, they'll steal food out of your cart and they aren't scared of you. Overall it was good and I hope to play it again.
