Diamond in the Rough

Diamondback is truly a special place amongst the locals. A great course that offers many turns and hazards. My wife and I have been playing there for a couple of years. Yesterday we had the best 9 hole round we have both ever played. We both shot in the 30’s and I think a lot of it was due to the relaxed atmosphere of this hometown course. Patrick is an exceptional host and is always smiling. The food and drink service is an added bonus. We relaxed after the round and just enjoyed one of the decks while having drinks. Top notch little course. Early in the season so the greens are still being worked.

Diamondback Golf Course is good but challenging.

The corse is in good shape. Fairways are well manicured, greens are ok. Staff is excellent.

Quite a few difficult holes. Not for beginners.

Nice afternoon on the course

2nd time playing here. I went as a single and was paired with a nice guy with similar ability. Course is in great shape, with the exception of some of the greens. They had been aerated and sanded, so were a little bumpy and slow in spots. otherwise is was an excellent round at a great price. I will be coming back every few weeks.

Greens were in poor shape with lines across most of the greens. Putting green was in the same condition. It was early in the season and hopefully it will improve.

Terrible Course Condition

All fairways are very hard, dry & basically have about 1/8th inch of grass. All greens have seams every 12 inches covering the entire putting area, just terrible.

No carts were available for my 1:13 pm tee time so We had to wait for someone to finish their round of golf.

The pace of play was also very slow and the entire experience was very frustrating and disappointing.

Most improved

We used to enjoy this course but last time we played 4 hrs ago it was not in good condition and we didn’t return. I read a few favorable reviews recently so we thought we give it a try. Not sure why or what part of the organization it was but the aesthetics of the course has improved greatly. The number of trees taken down and the brush that was cleared has made “junky” looking holes into gorgeous holes! The variety of holes after the changes makes for a fun experience.

The truth be told the fairways and greens need a bit help and playing the ball down is not always “fair” but I think the grass will improve with warmer weather.

It is a tight and tough layout and you better not be a sprayer of the ball or you are going to lose a ton of balls so pick the best tees for your ability levels

One to Avoid

There are many fine courses to play in Myrtle Beach: this is not one of them. This is not a Myrtle Beach course at all. This course is well outside of Myrtle and is a "locals" course. This course is poorly laid out and poorly maintained. This is a course where locals dressed in blue jeans and tee shirts play golf at a pace that suits THEM. Management makes no effort to keep the pace moving, as local players are their "bread and butter". This is a great place for the locals, but if you want to enjoy a nice course in Myrtle: don't play this one. If you do, expect poor conditions and a round that will take 5 to 6 hours.

Over 5hour round

Pro shop manager couldn’t guarantee my specific time needed to check with starter as he was busy with about 15 golfers around him.Green speed was irritating and irregular from one green to the next.

1st and last time to play here

Great Lay out, Slow greens

I got paired with 2 great guys. One was a member who owns Rockefellers Bar. Local knowledge plays well here.

We played the Copperhead tees. Plenty of challenge as the course narrows and offer sand and water on most holes. A great day out of the tee boxes and surprising iron play gave me a wonderful tour of this course.

But for my taste, the greens were painfully slow. It had been raining and I will attribute it to that. Though they rolled true, That. is my only knock on the course. A solid $45-$50 round. A great value at anything less.
