Excellent Course and Value!!

This was my first time playing the course as we traveled down from Michigan for spring break at Myrtle Beach. The course was about a 40 minute drive from where we were staying but definitely well worth it. When you arrive, there is a great bag check guy who promptly takes your bag from your vehicle and loads it up into your golf cart. He is also the starter and keeps everything organized and on schedule. Then you can either go to the putting green, which is spacious and rolls at the same speed as the greens on the course, or grab a complementary bucket of range balls and go to the GRASS driving range, I did both. I was a single and got paired up with a twosome from Canada which was awesome, the guys, Mike and Ken, were great! We started on the back nine behind a foursome and the course was busy, but we did not wait at all on the first nine, the second nine was a little slower but still finished the round in 4 hours and 20 minutes. The course itself was great, reminded me of an “up north” course Michigan. There holes were tree lined but I wouldn’t say narrow. Also if you hit your ball into the trees it was normally a chip out and not a lost ball. There were some hidden water hazards but the course marks them with blue and white checkered flags, so don’t aim at these flags! (I did once and luckily I didn’t hit it were I was aiming lol.) The greens were firm but not overly fast. They were in good condition and rolled true. It was pretty dry when I played so I tried to play everything below the hole and allow for some release. A couple of times I hit great shots that landed pin high but released to the back of the green. Lots of sand traps, I was in a couple and the sand was on the firmer side (which I prefer) not overly fluffy. I would highly recommend this course to anyone traveling to Myrtle Beach. I got a hot deal, and applied a discount code and payed $25. This course is definitely worth the $50-60 they charge especially considering the free range balls.

Reviews almost scared us away. I'm glad we tried it!

We almost didn't book Diamondback because of some poor reviews. I'm happy we tried it. The course was in nice condition although the greens were a bit slow. The round took about four and a half hours and the layout was nice. We had a great time and decided to play it again later in the week because the experience was good and the price was right!

Great challenge

This is a course that makes you think. Can’t just take a driver on every hole. Some holes are pretty tough and require precision. Greens well maintained, and overall a great value for the price. A must play course when in the Myrtle Beach area.

Good greens

The starter had groups tee off from 1 & 10 much better on a busy day. The course was in decent shape, with good rolling greens, maybe the bunkers were lacking. A new fleet of gas carts, so well worth it for the price.
