GOS carts
The carts are new electric with gps, that helps first timers. The course has wide fairways and good sized greens. There iare limited water hazards, but mostly waste bunkers, did not lose a ball. I was fortunate to play with some locals, Mike and Tom, so a good round.
Super Nice!
What a wonderful place! Nice course with wide fairways and elevated greens. It was quite fun and extremely well maintained. The staff here is super nice! In my opinion, that makes this place great!
Excellent Layout
Excellent experience playing at this location. Staff very friendly and the handmade sandwiches were excellent.

Shaftsbury glen
Excellent shape.good practice facilities greens were in great shape.
Meadowlands was great!!
During our N. Myrtle Beach fam pilgrimage we have a foursome that will play a couple times during the week. We have played Meadowlands previously but I cannot remember when. I was thinking it was a links style course, but was pleasantly surprised to find it in absolutely great shape and the greens were phenomenal!!! We played Shaftesbury Glen earlier in the week and their greens were not healed from the previous airation done some weeks before. Your ball jumped around en route to the hole.
Meadowlands greens rolled true and were a pleasure to play.
Not as I remembered it 9 years before.
During our annual fam pilgrimage to N. Myrtle Beach, we have a foursome who will play twice during the week long gathering. We chose Shaftesbury Glen as one of our courses. Shaftesbury is a fairly straightforward golf course, not a whole lot of doglegs. If you like to play straight courses with a little water, some traps and very well kept the course is in great shape with the exception of the greens. Apparently they were airaited a while back. They have never recovered. It became annoying having the ball bounce along its path towards the hole. We later in the week played Meadowlands. Which I would highly recommend. Sorry Shaftesbury Glen but need to be completely honest.
After the flood....
No matter what I think about the course......the fact that parts of the course had been under 7-8' of water after the hurricane a week or two before, and we were playing was amazing! Hats off to everyone on the greens staff for getting the course back to playing conditions...Amazing job! The course did have some great holes and a few were memorable. The course flowed well, and was player friendly for all skill levels. One big down side for me is that they have bent grass greens. Bent is a great putting surface but doesn't seem to work down there. They seem to get more abused, and don't handle the weather or the amount of play as well as that grass does in other regions.
This is a great course to start your buddies trip with friendly and helpful staff.
Nice layout!
We played here based on reviews and recommended value. Loved the layout. Three holes had flooded after hurricane Michael and they lost a green. With that in mind, the course was in decent shape except for the Bentgrass greens. They were spotty and needed repair or replacement.
A Challenge After a Full Day of Rain
This course has wide fairways, strategically placed bunkers throughout, and nice readable greens...typically. However, the day and night before, Myrtle Beach had almost 24 hours of rain. It was cart path only (which was expected), but casual water all over...and no place to take relief. You just had to expect waterworks whenever you hit a shot regardless of the lie. It made this moderately-challenging course a little more challenging just due to weather conditions. I have played this course several times and really like the layout.
A true gem
Probably the best course we played all week. Course was beautiful. Greens awesome. Great layout. Not sure what we paid as it was part of a package but I highly recommend. From bag guys to starter to club house staff everyone was very accommodating. Only complaint was $5 for a beer. If your ever in the area I recommended you play this course. We will be back.
Short game?
All greens are elevated. There is very little opportunity to execute a chip shot or pitch shot less than 40 yards in length. Miss the greens just off the edge and you're in a trap.
Lousy design.
Love this place
Always enjoy getting to make the trip to Shaftsbury. The recent additions (within the last couple years) of the waste bunkers drastically improved course conditions by allowing water to drain more effectively, and I think they help the course play a little easier than before. Take extra club if needed as all the greens are elevated. Tees, fairways and greens all usually in really good shape, although the greens will be slow during summer months, but the bent grass during peak times cannot be beat. Par 3s have some teeth, and 9 and 18 make fun finishing holes. Save time for lunch, the egg salad is hard to beat.
Green Keeper Loves you.
They just seem to do things right here.... the course is pristine, landscaping, mowing, greens are all so nice.... the staff is nice.... I really enjoy this course and will definitely be back!
Great Fairways
This is one of my favorites in the Strand. Fairways extremely nice and holds drives that hit the fairway. Pace of play a little slow, but staff and course were exemplary. Always look forward to playing this beauty. A little inland and off the Strand path, but well worth the trip.
Always Enjoy this Course
this course seems to always be in good shape and find ways to fairly challenge you. Other reviewers commented on the elevated greens needing an extra club...they are correct.
