Nice course, good layout, sad greens!

This is one of the premier courses in MB and commands a premium fee, so why aren't the greens in as good or better condition as many of the less expensive venues? Greens were very bumpy, had tracks that looked like a small bulldozer had been driven back and forth over them and many of them had fresh sand that had been applied but not smoothed over, leaving a thick layer on top of the surfaces. Almost impossible to make a putt over a few feet. The rest of the course was in very nice condition, but the condition of the greens made this a unenjoyable experience!

Never again

I played this course as part of our package during a buddies trip in March/April 2014 (the computer wouldn't let me select that far back as the date). We played all 5 Legends courses, plus this course as our "add-on" course for our 6th round. Unfortunately, the weather was terrible the day we played -- brutally cold. But more unfortunately, the staff at the course were among the most rude staff we have ever encountered in our annual trips to MB (2013, 2014, 2015, and this coming March/April 2016). The pace of play was fantastic, only because I think we were among a very small group of people actually golfing that day (it was that cold) -- the course was relatively empty. I don't recall anything in particular about the course itself (ie. conditions, layout), so that tells me it was neither terrible nor fantastic -- that translates into "average" for me. But what did stand out above everything else was the unacceptable staff. I'll give credit where credit is due -- the young woman working the beverage cart was great -- very pleasant and she was shrewd -- she brought hot chocolate instead of beer/pop! But even she couldn't make up for her ignorant colleagues. Down to a man, we all said we'd never again spend our money at this course.

Great Golf Course

My wife & I enjoyed our fist ( but not last!) round here. The fairways are fairly wide open, and the course overall was fun but not too challenging. The traps were well located but not overwhelming. There were not too many forced carries, and water came into play but did not dictate play.

Great even when wet

When I played the course it had rained for 3 days straight. There were no restrictions on carts and the course was in great shape!

overrated!!

shocked with rating on this site of this course. 5 or 6 pretty holes but quit on 11 ....just wasn't worth a 5.5 to 6 hour round. I have never quit on a course in my life but this average course was not worth it. 2 groups of bad golfers on each hole. At least the staff warned me with what seemed like pride that a round average was over 4.5 hours here. Have played 15 courses here in area...its near bottom and I will never return

Beautiful course!

Very well maintained course! Even with all the rain we have been getting this there was no standing water. Most holes were challenging with some water. A lot of fun!

multiple tees to fit ability and distance

This course is a repeat; well maintained; complimentary range balls; good practice facility; golf now pricing competitive with what one could get locally.

Great golf facility with an excellent staff

A good golf course, with one of the best practice facility in MB, but not the best value. A little bit desapointed with the pace of play and the quality of the golf course. Not as good as I remembered it. The staff is incredible. Forgot a pair of sunglasses and they kept it for us at the pro shop the next day.

Most beautiful course in Myrtle Beach.

Played this course during the World Am this year and loved it. Went back and played it again after the tournament. Played (28) different courses over the last (7) years on the World Am and this is the best course yet.

Very nice staff

The course was great and the staff. We only played a few holes and it began to pour down rain. So play was interrupted and we was given a rain check. And look forward to going back to play again soon.

Great layout, played firm and fast

Beautiful location set on the intercostal. May not want to do to much searching for lost balls due to local wildlife. Pristine conditions all around. Challenging but not unfair.

LOVE this course

My favourite type of golf course. Generous landing areas (who doesn't spray the ball off the tee from time to time) but the difficulty lies in the second shot. HUGE greens. A real nice layout. Conditions were only about 7.5 out of 10 for my round (8/5/13) but mostly because of the time of year. The greens were still a little sandy from the aerating but I could tell that in about 2 weeks they were going to be outstanding. I would highly recommend playing this course and will make it a destination on my trips back.

best value at the beach

This course may be the best at Myrtle Beach, and for what I paid I felt it was the very best value. The layout is unusual for the coast; lots of elevation changes and the holes along the intracoastal waterway are spectacular. First class service and course for bargain pricing. I have played half of the Myrtle Beach area courses and this is my favorite.

Terrific course! This is my 2nd time playing it & it won't be my last!

Very challenging, you can choose from an INSANE 7600 yds course length, to a respectable 6,700 yds length (which my foursome played), to even easier shorter lengths! Course was in terrific shape and greens are difficult, fast, & fair!! Bring your A-game!

One of my all-time favorites

I play this course a couple times each year. It's on my all-time favorite list for many reasons; always well maintained, clubhouse top-notch, course layout is challenging yet score-able, and even the food at the restaurant adds to the experience. This is a must-play. If you like links style golf, you won't be disappointed with this one.

The staff alone gave this course 5 stars

I set up a tee time for 9:30 as a single and decided to get there 1 1/2 hours early so I could get some range time in first. The weather was not looking so promising with rain but it was opening up a bit. From the start the staff maintained the highest level of professionalism and courtesy that they made me feel like I belong there. The guy in the pro shop told me to simply talk to the starter if and when I was ready to possibly get out earlier do to the fact that a lot of cancellations were going to happen due to the weather. I did just that, hit a few free range balls and got started. The course was beautiful even with all the rain and minor flooding on the fairways and the greens were superb and lightning fast. People ahead of me didn't mind that I was hitting alone and if I caught up they were all nice and let me play through. If I was playing a foursome however I could see playing this course 5 plus hours easy. So from start to finish, from starter to beer cart lady and bag check-in crew to the greens keepers, the staff sold this course.

Beautiful and well designed.

Best greens I have been on in 2013! Fair but demands shot making off the tee.
