Could be a Great Course

We were able to play three of the Cat Courses at Ocean Ridge Plantation for $120, so the courses not being in the best of shape was really not a problem at all. They were more than playable. Greens were grainy and a little slow, but putts were there to be made with a good stroke. Fairways were firm. Greens were firm. Tee boxes needed the most work. The layout of Tiger’s Eye is incredible. Every hole is unique. Lots of great bunkers and waste area. I’ve heard great stories about the course in the past. Hopefully ownership is able to get it back on the right track because it truly could be a magnificent course.

Thank you for the good review of Tiger's Eye. We certainly agree it is one of the best layouts in this region and we are taking considerable steps to keep the conditions improving daily. We hope you will come back and see our continued progress with all The Big Cats courses.

Pace of play

Course was in very nice shape and is alway a fun one to play.

My only complaint was the the hot deal of the day tee time placed me s a single close behind a women’s league that was very slow and would not allow me to play through.

Otherwise, even on a very hot afternoon, the course continues as a fun challenge.

Thank you for the great review! We agree, Tiger's Eye is looking very good and continuing to improve daily. You are correct, the pace of play as a single player on a busy day can be a little slower than ideal, but we strive to get every group around in under 4 and a half hours, which is pretty typical for Grand Strand golf courses. We will continue to work on ways to keep play moving along and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Good layout with interesting holes. But…course conditions below expectations. Maintenance lacking; Fairways and tees need mowing. Greens also very slow, need mowing.

Thank you the nice review. The long drought this spring took a bit of a toll on Tiger's Eye, but now that the weather has improved, course conditions are already improving and should be getting better daily as we move through the summer and beyond. We hope you will visit us again soon and see our continued progress.

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit to Tiger's Eye. We apologize that you did not catch us at our best, due to the extreme drought conditions we have faced over the past two months. We are watering greens and tees as usual, but have had to ration the water on our fairways due to the very low water level in our ponds right now. Fortunately, things will green back up quickly once we get some rain. Trust me, the grass is most certainly not dead. Bermudagrass goes dormant through the winter and breaks dormancy in late spring. The lack of natural water has delayed that process and that is what you are seeing. The grass is very much alive and with full coverage. It is just brown at the moment, but that will change almost overnight with the first good rain we receive (Soon, we hope!) Hopefully you will come back an play again in the future and see that the course is in much better visual condition than you

Best scoring round ever

Course was in decent shape but is very dry and hard. Ball bounced and rolled a lot if you kept in the fairway. Staff was very friendly and helpful in every way. Greens were very firm and fair.

I played the gold, forward tees and the layout was very fair and friendly.

Enjoyed the course and my round.

Thank you very much for the good review. We agree, due to the current drought conditions in our area, the course is much drier than usual, but on the brighter side, you can expect to hit some longer than typical tee shots! The course is definitely very playable and will green up quickly once we get some rain and the bermuda breaks dormancy. Thanks again!

Terrible Conditions

This has been one or our favorite courses on the north of Myrtle Beach, but they have let it deteriorate over the last several years. The greens had been aerated a week before and were coming back fine. They putted true and fairly. Unfortunately the fairways are completely burnt out with almost no green grass left. I realize it has been dry recently, but this was the worst course conditions we have seen in our week and a half here. For one of their two premier courses at Ocean Ridge I was very disappointed.

Thank you for taking the time to review your visit to Tiger's Eye. You are correct that the unusually dry and hot spring has caused some unexpected issues, most significantly being that the winter rye grass on the fairways and tees has checked out earlier than usual, before the bermuda could break dormancy. What you are seeing in the fairways and tees is dormant bermuda, which will green up quickly now that the rye grass has checked out. This is a typical transition (Some years are smoother than others, but this one is definitely much earlier than usual) While most of the issues described are outside of our control, I deeply apologize that we did not live up to your expectations. Hopefully you informed someone in the pro shop of your concerns and if so, I also hope they were able to work with your group to try to make amends for your concerns. If this is not the case, please always make sure to bring any such issues to our attention immediately and we will always try to work with you to find a mutually satisfactory solution. We sincerely hope you will come visit us again and see our progress.

Disappointing, but playable

I had really lofty expectations about this course after reading the website and overall layout in this area, this is supposed to be a premier course and high level of difficulty and in great shape. Not much of that is reality. Most of the staff was fast and efficient, except for the register guy at the pro shop, couldn't say enough how busy they were and where was our entire group, we don't have time to wait for your other twosome, etc. Turns out the course was mostly empty throughout the entire day - he gets an F for customer service. Range balls come from a machine and the buckets are a joke. 30 balls, or to get more you have to drive all the way back and pay again. Range was small, chipping green also small and very hairy (slow!), putting green was better but quite brown and they were running about a 9 on the stimp. Yes, a 9! for a premier club, and the course is not in great shape, it's playable, but crabgrass is everywhere, be ready for sandy lies if you miss the green, very slow greens....Course layout is friendly, however I can count at least 5 holes where there are streams, or lakes, or huge bunkers, or other penalty-causing obstacles over the horizon - you can not see them when teeing off and the graphics on the score cards are not to scale. Would have shot par if not for the massive lake on the back nine par 5, and the rock stream on 18 is always in play with driver, but you can't see it when teeing off from whites. Deceptive courses are not fun and it was my first time, so grrrrr...overall, shot a weak 76 where I was robbed on 3 holes by hidden obstacles, but the day was perfect and I only lost a few hundred to my partner. This club could be much, much better with some much-needed attention.

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit to Tiger's Eye.First of all, I DEEPLY apologize for the experience you described below when you check in. We will address this matter immediately and make sure this is not repeated. Regarding the course conditions you described, unfortunately you happened to play during the transition from winter rye to bermuda on the fairways and tees, which is occurring much earlier than usual this year, due to the long dry spell we have experienced. We have FINALLY received some rain in the last couple of days and conditions will be rapidly improving now that the bermuda has the opportunity to break dormancy and green up for the warm weather season. We have also aggressively treated all four Big Cats courses to control any invasive grasses and we are seeing great improvement with this issue already. So, again, I apologize we were not able to live up to your expectations on this visit. I would ask if you brought your concerns to the attention of our pro shop staff on the day you played? If so, hopefully they took the necessary steps to work with your group to find a mutually satisfactory solution, as we are always willing to work with our guests to make sure they are satisfied with their visit. Again, I will address the customer service issue you described as soon as I finish typing. That is unacceptable and we will make sure this is corrected immediately. Thanks again and we hope you will give us another opportunity to win your trust.

Thank you for taking the time to review your visit to Tiger's Eye. This course sits on the high side of our property and, during rainy periods, that is a great advantage, as it drains well, but during extremely dry periods, such as we have had lately, things can firm up quickly. We are applying extra wetting agents and greater irrigation and things will definitely start to green back up quickly. We apologize we were not at our best on the day you played, but we are taking great steps to continue to improve our operation, including course conditions. Thanks again.

Thank you for the review. We are very sorry to hear we were not able to live up to you expectation on your recent visit. We have had a major dry spell and things have firmed up a good deal over the past week or so. We are going back heavier with wetting agents and extra irrigation and everything should green back up quickly. Again, we are sorry you did not catch us at our best on this particular day. We will take whatever steps necessary to make the improvement needed. Thanks again.
