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.

Nice course

DB is a nice bang for your buck. A few difficult holes, a few easy and a bunch in the middle. Played on Sunday so pace was not optimal.

The Gem of Gems

I went back again today to play Diamondback.

This snowbird from Montreal is absolutely in love with this Golf course. I just wish this was my home course.

Even though it's an hour drive from where we are staying in Murrels inlet. I would join this club in a heartbeat. You want good conditions . Incredibly friendly staff. Difficult course. Amazing course conditions This course has all of the above.

If you can get through holes 6 7 and 8 without cussing and shaking your head. Then your an all star.

I have played 13 different courses since arriving .

It is my favourite. Believe me not because i score.

It's because it's beauty is off the charts.

Congratulations Diamondback you ROCK

Very nice round on a well groomed course

Beautiful course, nice weather, what's not to like.

Well manicured tees, fairways and greens. The rough is dormant this time of year.

Bring your A game

Diamondback Golf course has easily become one of my favorites. Believe me not because i play it well. Even though it's probably the furthest from where we are staying for the winter. From the minute you get there Dennis at the Bag drop is by far the friendliest of all the courses i have been to so far and most helpful. Then Sherri in the pro shop who also does the snack bar is super smiley and friendly. When all that is taken care of you get to play an incredibly challenging track. Tees for everyone. I strongly suggest moving up from where you usually play at home. Tees fairways and greens are all in great shape for early February. I am already looking forward to get back there shortly. I STRONGLY SUGGEST TO ALWAYS REMEMBER IT'S JUST A GAME.

Because believe me you will and i guarantee you will not score like you usually do.

Pleasant with challenges

This course has some challenging features but is not intimidating for the average golfer. Fairways were well maintained and greens were reasonably fast and true.

1st timer from New England

Very nice course. Top 5 that I have played here in Myrtle as an intermediate golfer. I haven’t played any of the big name popular courses. I was impressed with the challenge of many of the approaches to the greens with steep bunkers and water hazards. Although my pocket wasn’t. Lost quite a few balls. lol. If you’re not looking to play a Grand Dunes or TPC priced type course then Diamond Back is a good option. Looking forward to playing again in March on my next trip down to Myrtle.
