We like this layout and the water makes it more of a challenge. The greens were sparse but it is that time of year when grass is not growing.

Dexter

Friendly, helpful staff. They went out of their way to give direction to this first timer. The course was wet due to the recent rains thus a lot of cart path only holes. I liked the course layout. The only problem I had all day was some greens were grainy without much grass.

Especially enjoyed reading the signage honoring past officers of MBAFB.

Slow play

We have played here before and the pace had been ok. Today we were behind 3 twosomes and one threesome that had no idea about golf rules. They were slow all over the course and the group in front had two players sharing golf clubs. When the marshal did show up instead doing something about it he took in the opposite direction not wanting to confront the issue.

We will give this course one more shot and if they do not in prove we will play golf at other courses.

Do not give this place your money!

Last minute round, looked decent from the road but this place is garbage There is nothing good about this place. Literally nothing. They should invest in a greenskeeper that can actually keep the greens. Most of them had large portions that were unplayable. Bunkers were dirt/mud combo. Luckily I didn’t end up in one. There must be bots giving the 4 stars.

Not bad

I was pleasantly surprised at this course, I knew it was close to the airport but there are only two holes that you actually could see that

The course was very wet even though it hadn’t rained in a week, the marshal said they were overseeding and watering but I doubt that as there were small lakes around!

Overall I would definitely play it again as it’s a good layout and challenging but not too challenging!

Avoid like the plague

This course looks decent from the road but up close it’s in terrible condition. The greens are in horrid condition, the pace is slow. They’re robbing people charging anything more then 20 bucks. Do not play here. Literally every course in Myrtle is better then this. I paid less to play arrowhead, legends, etc.

Good time

The pace of play was the best that I have seen for a long time here. The greens were so do and the fairways need some work as there were many very soft spots with water. Outside of that it was fine.

Best golf day!

From the first step on the course -till the last putt everything was first class.

The price was excellent. The rich history of the course was informative. And it was the best 4 hours in a day. Great location - great set up - great staff -the list goes on.
