Fun challenging course

Had a good time ! They paired me up with a nice young man and he wanted to play from the shorter tees but that worked out best for both of us. Kept some of our drives in play. Course was in good shape.

Bad Experience

Unfortunately my experience at Diamondback was very poor. To start, the gas cart would sputter and backfire every time I pressed the gas pedal before it jerk forward. Then, the course was in ok condition, but certainly doesn’t compare to others in Myrtle Beach. I will say the course is challenging and not really for beginners. Next, the man who was working the pro shop when I arrived came out on the course and literally yelled at my group about slow play. Meanwhile, we were on our second shots on 10 and the group ahead of us was on the green. I told him we could only go as fast as the group in front of us and he waved me off and drove away. So I guess he was the Ranger too. At the end of my round I went in the snack bar to get a soda and he was working the snack bar too. I guess they are shorthanded which explains why service was sooo slow at the turn and all I wanted was a cup of ice. I definitely will not return and do not recommend the course at all.

They need a Marshall slow play 3 1/2 hours to finish 12 holes. I quit had a fivesome on the green in front of me.

OK, of course but they definitely need a Marshall slow play

Hidden Gem

We played the course on 4/7/26. It was in excellent shape from the tee boxes, down the fairways all the way to the greens. Narrow at times which forces you to really analyze your shot. Great layout! Staff was great and we could not beat the price we got off of Golf Now. We enjoyed it so much we are playing again on 4/9. Give it a try, I'm sure you will enjoy it!

Diamondback Golf Course

Diamondback is an interesting course with several challenging holes. The 90 degree temperature this day added to those challenges. Despite the uncomfortable temps we still enjoyed our round and will certainly return to play this course in the future.

Outstanding Value!

Course was in great shape, staff was friendly, and you even get free range balls to use on their very nice range and chipping/putting green. Layout was interesting in a good way, somewhat challenging but fair. Pretty sure I somehow got the round on GolfNow at half their website price, and it might have been the best value golf I've ever played - and that's not to say it's a value course, because I'd put it up there with some of my favorite tracks I've played in Myrtle Beach. Will absolutely be returning at some point.
