Crow Creek Golf Club

About
The course is owned by Jerry McLamb and built on his 500-acre family homestead. The front picks its way through old tobacco fields and vegetable gardens, and its flatness makes it susceptible to the coastal breezes that kick up in early afternoons. There is both bunkering and mounding, though both are subtle. The back nine winds through Carolina woodlands, and has a different feel with tree-lined fairways and rolling contours. The strongest stretch of holes on the course is from No. 15 to the closing hole. Overall, the course is a well-groomed, playable layout with large, bentgrass greens and a pleasing, traditional layout.
Crow Creek has made a name for itself among Brunswick County's 30-plus golf courses by supplying golfers with a playable, well-groomed layout replete with airplane hanger sized L93 bentgrass greens and sensibly designed golf holes.

Reviews
Beautiful course and layout!
Although this course is surrounded by housing, it is beautiful with many natural areas and abundant wildlife. The conditions were good considering the recent hurricane. Fairways, tees and traps were in great shape. We were, however, highly disappointed in the "new Bentgrass greens". They're over a year old now but very rough and spotty. I love Bentgrass greens when they are in cooler climates. I don't understand installing bentgrass in coastal, hot, humid areas. In fact, I read where 90% of greens in the Myrtle Beach area are some type of Hybrid/Bermuda grass. That tells you something. By chance, my group played two Bentgrass and one Bermuda course this week. The Bermuda green was in far better condition than the two Bentgrass. I would recommend this course in cooler months, November to April, when the greens should be at their best.
Slow slow greens
My Day 1 course for the 2018 Myrtle Beach World Am.
The course was in ok shape. They have bentgrass greens and they were very very slow. The rough on this course is very thick but not extremely deep. Fairways in good shape. Bunkers...just ok.
Speed the greens up and it may have been enjoyable.
Must Play Course
Greens were a little slow but this was a great course. I would recommend this course without hesitation.
Great greens and fairways
The greens and fairways are some of the best I have played in years. The layout is challenging yet there is plenty of room off the tee.
Renovations look good
Crow Creek recently re-opened in late October after replacing all their greens and repairing fairways & drainage.
The green were true, although a little slow. The fairways were in fantastic condition.
Looking forward to playing here often.
Very Disappointed
In all fairness they just installed new Greens. The Greens were like Putting on Broccoli. Would Not recommend this course for the rest of the year
Great Value for the money
Over all the course was in great shape, greens were moderately fast. Practice greens were much faster. I would recommend it
Greens terrible
The greens are a mix of bent grass and Bermuda. They were very bumpy, there were patches of sand in the middle and they were extremely slow. The ball would roll and then stop just like it was on fly paper or something similar. Not worth the money
Crow Creek
Fantastic conditions for our round at Crow Creek! Tee boxes, fairways, greens - they were all pristine. We played first thing in the morning, so pace of play wasn't an issue at all.
The course has a pretty easy layout. While water does come into play on several holes, there aren't really any forced carries, lay-up holes, or any real placement shots.
The clubhouse was beautiful. The range and practice greens are among the best you will find. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
I would recommend a nice, relaxing round at Crow Creek.
Punched greens were not pleasant
First time here. Played 50 golf courses in Myrtle Beach and decided to try it since other people in PA recommended it. Rained day before so course was extremely wet. Greens were not cut in a long time. and it was not pleasant to putt. Clubhouse indicated greens were punched 4 weeks ago, but due to amount of rain, are not able to have grass grow properly. Top dressing was prominent. Fairways were playable after water evaporated after 14 holes. Staff was extremely nice especially guys who loaded clubs on cart. Would probably play when conditions were much better.
Always a favorite
Grandfather loves playing this course when we're on vacation and it's only 15 minutes away from North Myrtle Beach up US 17. The course was in great shape. Many challenging, but fair holes and the greens run true. Will definitely play again.
Not in Myrtle Beach!
The main problem I had with this course (I played in an outing here) was that I had to drive by so many comparable or better courses to get here. If you're staying in Myrtle Beach, there are just too many better options closer. There aren't any real signature holes on this course, in spite of a fantastic clubhouse, it's just not worth a drive. Fun but not special.
Nice Track
Nothing tricky. Very nice solid course in very good condition. Price is in line with nicer courses in the Myrtle Beach area. Came with lunch in the grill which was surprisingly tasty.
Greens were in terrible shape in October. Fairways were trying to come back from disease conditions. Not worth the money right now for sure
