Played early thanks to the starter

We had an 11:50 tee time and with a storm expected to come in the late afternoon we showed up at the course 90 minutes early in hopes of getting out early. The starter allowed us to get out within 15 minutes of arriving. We had a great time and the course was in very good condition. The staff were all friendly .

An ex- Air Force course

I really enjoyed this course even though it is often considered a little dated. It was in excellent condition, the staff were flawless, the pace of play was brisk and there was only one small condo visible from the course. Of course it had some noise from the airport across the road but, on the other hand, it’s an incredible bargain by Myrtle Beach standards.

Good Value

Not the nicest course I’ve ever played but not bad either. Played with my wife and she enjoyed it and it was a goood course for her. Fairways and greens, the most important aspect of any course were fine. Tee Boxes and Bunkers not too spiffy. I would go back again as the course layout was fun. Off the fairways had early season brown grass, which is interesting as the course I played the day before and test was green and lush………..

Decent.

Course had a good layout that looked like it would come alive during the summer. Greens were on the smaller side.

So mad at conditions.

So sad to see such a nice track in such deplorable shape

Beware

Price quoted by Golfpass was not honored.

Greg in the pro shop was so RUDE and would not even look into the issue.

He should not be dealing with the public!

Craig, the starter/marshal was the only highlight.
