Fair Course Layout but Conditions could be better

I have played this course a few times before. We returned because the course has a very fair layout for various levels of golfers. I played in early August and the condition of the course was good but not as good as it ad been in past years. I returned again in September and was disappointed in the condition of the course. Both the rough and fairways needed to be mowed. Greens were mowed but slow. We did have a spell of very hot weather that may have impacted the mowing in previous weeks.

Thank you very much for your review of your recent visit. We take all feedback seriously and will do our best to take any and all suggestions into consideration in an effort to improve our operation. We definitely experienced a rough stretch during the late summer and early fall this year, due to many (mostly external) factors, but we have also definitely made considerable progress since your visit. We have a new and highly qualified Director of Agronomy and he has added a strong support staff to his team. the progress they have made in just a few weeks is very encouraging and we are excited about what is in store for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. We hope you will check out our progress in the near future. Thanks again and we hope to see you soon.

Great layout......cut the grass

Layout is excellent. Fair but challenging. Greens were sadly, very slow. Fairways needed to be cut. Worker told me they are afraid of losing the greens because of the heat (first week of Sept). ????? Cut everything and this place would be a joy to play.

We apologize for the speed of the greens and height of the fairway on your recent visit. This was definitely and issue for us during that period. Our new Director of Agronomy and his team are dedicated to improving these types of conditions and actually have made great strides in just a few weeks to do so. We believe the conditions you would experience now are greatly improved from the date of your round. Hopefully you will give us another opportunity to provide a more satisfactory playing experience in the future. We hope to see you soon.

A Gem that needs TLC

Tigers Eye has the potential to be "the" must play course in Myrtle Beach. The layout is excellent. the scenery is very nice. The wildlife you may see is second to none. The major drawback of Tiger's is no secret and that it needs an influx of manpower and money to get it into a five star or even a tru 4 star rating, While the conditions of the greens have improved over the last year or so, it is still not up to par insofar as condition. The layout of the course keeps its rating as high as it is now. If Tiger's Eye was in 5 star rating shape, they could charge whatever they wanted in season and pack them in. Unfortunately, that is not the case now.

Course conditions

Fairways covered with high weeds the entire course appears to be overgrown with weeds and unkept

A beautiful layout and I have played here many times but played with people who live there and were told that there are financial problems

To many other courses

Tiger red eye maybe

Granted I played one week after the east coast hurricane but I believe the course was unmanaged. The mowing was atrocious my 2 3/4 tee was lower then the grass on the tee box. It needed mowing everywhere. I get the rough needs to be long but I felt the condition of the course was terrible for being ranked in the top ten courses in Myrtle. They also tried to mange play time and even said they would push us a hole if lagging. They took the fun out of golf. Maybe it’s better when Mother Nature is kinder to them. Was not impressed

Great track

Being from NJ, it seems to me that the entire Myrtle Beach golf industry has taken a huge hit in recent years as it is not one of the premier golf destinations in the country as it once was back 20+ years ago. Tiger’s Eye has a phenomenal layout. Tee boxes were OK but the fairways and greens were pretty good. It’s amazing as this course has been around for a long time and they are building these brand new 3-4K sq foot houses. I guess that is one way the golf course can improve their bottom line as we only saw one other group on the whole course when we were out yesterday afternoon. Nonetheless our $23 Hot Deal was well worth it.

Tiger's Eye was distracted.

A very nice layout under the influence of too much rain and wind from TS isaias and summer showers. The course conditions have not been attended to because of weather, but still in decent shape. The greens were a little slow, but manageable. The fairways were in need of blowing, and the tee boxes need a trim. I was playing well despite this, and enjoyed the course and the round. I'll be back when it dries out. Pro shop staff was huffy, and the starter short on personality. Thank you to the helpful snack bar lady, and very friendly and personable ranger!

Disappointing, needs maintenance

Has potential to be a really nice course but it currently needs help. Greens may not have been cut the day we played and were slow, but also needed rolling as they were bumpy. Fairways were good, but tees were bare in too many places and had not been cut day we played, there were a few traps in good condition but most were bad, washed out in places and in need of sand. Staff was friendly and helpful, and layout suggests this was and could be a very good track.

Back In The Rotation?

The "Big Cat" courses had been dropped from our annual trips, as the course conditions seemed to be falling behind others in the area. After this round, we are definitely putting it back on the list.

Everything was in great shape, and the holes were back to being picturesque and challenging. The starters and on-course staff were all pleasant and helpful. Great job overall.

One minor correction needed, though; while we all understand the need to wear masks in the pro shop, it was a bit of a downer to see the pro shop cashier's, which read "Trump 2020". None of us thought it was appropriate for a representative of the course to advertise a political position, regardless of whether it is one we agree with or not.

Must play

We were met by a very friendly and accommodating staff, and everyone from the front door to the finish made us feel welcome. The design / layout was great. Hazards and penalty areas are appropriately placed and fair. There are plenty of tee choices to accommodate any skill level. We will definitely be back!

Could be better

Good course layout just not well maintained. Most bunkers were rock hard and a couple were even underwater. Fairways and tee boxes also had weeds growing on them. Staff was friendly and helpful but overall not worth the money in my opinion until they fix the issues with the course.

Has potential but in only fair condition

I believe this course has the potential to be excellent. But the greens didn't appear to have been cut and needed to be rolled as well, as were bumpy.Many of the tees have bare spaces and most of them had not been properly mowed. Some of the traps were in good shape but most not. The layout is interesting, fairways generous but with fairway bunkering and water hazards, so the course could be first class, unfortunately today it was not.

Fuzzy greens and poor mowing

The course bills itself as a premier course but the greens roll like an unkempt muni course. We were out first in the morning and the greens were slow and fuzzy. If the grass grew during the day the late groups out would need a fairway wood to putt. Not what golfers would expect from a courses(s) that takes pride in themselves. The 2nd cut in fairways and around greens had not been recently mowed either. We were looking forward to playing a premium course but were disappointed.

Great Layout, Conditioning Lacking

First time at Tiger’s Eye. Incredible layout. Fun visuals and very playable.

Was disappointed with the condition of such a highly touted course. The greens were slow and spoungy. A considerable amount of crabgrass in places it wasn’t expected. Not overwhelming, but unfortunately noticeable.

Staff was excellent.
