Beautiful Conditions

The course conditions were top notch. The greens were immaculate. Most fairways were wide and attainable. The staff was great, and got us off early which helped with the threatening weather. Played the 767 yard 18th from the tips, and it was a true 4 shot hole to get to the green. Fun course, and we’ll be back.

Fantastic every time

Farmstead has become one of my top courses to play in the MB area. The layout is diverse, fair, and interesting which makes for a fun round every time, and with the size of the fairways, big hitters will have a field day. For late July, the course couldn’t have been in better shape, especially the greens rolling smooth and true. Only minor downsides were the range was closed for maintenance and no beverage cart but since it was a midweek afternoon, both were understandable. A must play for those in the area.

Excellent Summer Conditions

For the heat of the summer, the course was in excellent shape and the greens were smooth and quick. The round was just under 4 hours and we enjoyed the variety of the layout and the generous fairways to bomb it off the tee. One of my MB area favorites!

A gem

Such a great course. Greens run fast, but soft and playable. Track itself is challenging and fair. The par 6–what a way to end a round. I loved it and will be back.

Great conditions

Tees, fairways and greens where perfect. A little wet but after big thunderstorms during the night it was very playable. Highly recommend this course on your trip to myrtle beach. Oh and the par 6 is awesome. Made birdie!!

Challenging track, friendly helpful staff, full service

First time to play this course, did so on hot deal. Course is challenging and in mostly good condition. Greens were in excellent shape, hard to read. Tees were a little rough in places but fairways were in great condition. Was a hot

day, fortunately there are some trees near tees to provide shade. Fairways mostly generous, greens well trapped, some very interesting holes including par 6 finishing hole.

Great course/shape but pace of play in back was slow

The course is fun and is always in great shape which is why I make it a point to play it whenever in the area. The only part of the experience that wasn’t a five start review was the pace of play. We were the first group out and played the front in 1:45 but the pace on the back was slow due to running multiple groups off ahead of us and the starters not fully understanding who was the lead group. Small knock, I know, but overall great experience. I will definitely be back and will refer others.

Amazing Experience

Check in and staff were smooth and everyone was very friendly. Masks were required in the clubhouse and all staff were wearing them (properly). The real gem is the quality and condition of the golf course. Greens were fast and true and we played in under 4 hours. The 712 yard 18th hole par 6 was the icing on the cake and completed our amazing experience. Will definitely come back.

Excellent

This was my second time on the course but about 4 years since the first play through. Brought my father with me for his first time and the course was in fantastic shape. Greens are true and fast and in the heat of the day it’s not crowded and all was wonderful. We played here on a hot deal and it’s definitely worth it. If you don’t mind spend 60-90 dollars to play around then you will love it as well. Will play here plenty more in the future I’m sure.
