Nice course

Really enjoyed the course. Just enough challenge offered on most holes, with a bit of a break on others. Five hour-plus round, so it would be nice to get that shortened, but not sure what could be done about the groups of hackers that were playing at the speed of mollasses.

Good course for the fee

Nice course but pace of play very slow, 5 1/2 hours to do 18. Practice range was a little rough. Overall, fun to play.

Not much to complain about (besides the two duffers who spent nearly 5 hours whiffing at half their shots in 94 degree heat!). Course was in good shape besides several bunkers, which were in awful shape. Fairways, rough, and greens were all above average. Plenty of water coolers on the course, and signage was good. I’d def play here again and would recommend it to others.

Hot day on the course

Nice enough course. Greens consistent and mostly true Very warm day with less shade on the back nine. Lot's of water on the front less so on the back. Had a beverage cart which got to us 4 times on the front but must have gone home because there was no cart at all on the back. Staff was great! Arrived a little late and the staff took me to the second tee to be with my group and let me play the first hole at the end. Rangers were noticeable throughout the round. Some tee boxes a little worn. But still overall a nice day.

If you want people to steal your balls play here

Terrible pace of play even before 8am.

If you want rangers to allow folks to hit 3-4 tee balls and then allow groups ahead of you to steal your ball when you can’t see them and accidentally hit a tee shot into them.

This course isn’t worth the names that designed it and I wouldn’t recommend anyone waste money when the rangers don’t regulate a thing here.

Playing Partners

I understand the rule that as a party of two we cannot object to being paired up with another person/persons. This doesn't always work out for the good! My brother and I were paired up to play with one of the most ignorant, prejudice, fowl mouthed Southern redneck I have ever met in my life. Needless to say this person made it very difficult to enjoy our round of golf. Don't know what if anything we could have done about this situation. My brother did inform the starter after our game but it's a little too late by then.

Always a great round

This beautiful course is a real pleasure to play. It's well-maintained, both the fairways and the greens. It's challenging in places. Water hazards abound. What makes this course friendly for all genders is the strategically-located and very clean restroom building. The heat was oppressive during our round, but water on the course and with the roving cart made it much easier to play. This is one of my favorite Myrtle Beach courses.

Great Course

It was perfect for my wife and I only issue we had a 3:40 T Time and the carts had to be back at 730pm we didn’t get to finish 18 holes got to 15. Wish someone would of told us that before spending over a 100 bucks to play.
