There’s been a lot of confusion surrounding this course. There is, or was at one time, a sales contract on it and it has been rezoned for development, but with the Myrtle Beach housing economy in the crapper, we expect this tired track to hang around for a while. This is your basic vanilla resort style course. It has an ample supply of water and sand with wide fairways and large greens. The average length holes are mostly doglegs. This is a one-trick pony, and that’s their picturesque No. 8 par-3 with a large lake stretching from tee to green. As our cousin Guido says, “Fa get about it!”

Myrtle Beach National - King’s North Myrtle Beach National - King’s North 8.48 out of 575 reviews Currently rated No. 14 by Golf Magazine on their Best Public Golf Courses in South Carolina roster. Originally the North course at Myrtle Beach National, it was named “South Carolina’s Course of the Year for 1996” and in 1997 Golf Digest ranked it among the “Top 10 New Upscale Public Courses in America.” There are lakes, ponds, and marshes coming into play on sixteen holes. Recognized for its No. 3 island green with the “S” and “C” shaped sand traps, and their par-5 No. 6 nicknamed “The Gambler,” because it tempts golfers with a shortcut to the green via an… Read More View Profile \| Best Rate: $73	8.48 out of 575 reviews	$73	$73	$73	$73
Willbrook Plantation Golf Club Willbrook Plantation Golf Club 8.42 out of 574 reviews This course is built on the site of two rice plantations (some old ruins remain), and is a mix between plantation and traditional styles. It features lakes, old oaks, wildlife, waterways, numerous traps, waste bunkers, wetlands and average size, but tough, greens. Their 1st and 15th holes have received some local renown. Some development is also encroaching a bit on its aesthetics. They completely restored their greens to their original size with hearty Champion Mini Dwarf Bermuda, dramatically improved their drainage and added peripheral irrigation to improve the edges of the fairways and the rough. More recently, they did some… Read More View Profile \| Best Rate: $61	8.42 out of 574 reviews	$61	$61	$61	$61
Blackmoor Golf Club Blackmoor Golf Club 8.18 out of 568 reviews This course has had some ups and downs of late, but currently they’re more up. This course was built on the historic Longwood Plantation, whose heritage as a successful antebellum rice plantation on Waccamaw River. It features lakes, moss-draped oaks, pines, and cypress. Taking advantage of the natural terrain and vistas with its undulations, Gary Player made his first course in the Myrtle Beach area something to be proud of. In 2001 it was named the Myrtle Beach Golf Course of the Year. In 2003 they completed extensive renovations including the greens, bunkers, clubhouse and tree removal. Recently, the Myrtle… Read More View Profile \| Best Rate: $48	8.18 out of 568 reviews	$48	$48	$48	$48
River Club River Club 8.28 out of 542 reviews This track was one of the first “plantation” golf courses. It features wide-open fairways and large greens with some elevations and undulations. The front nine is tree lined, while the back nine is lined with houses. There is water in play on 15 holes here, and over 100 bunkers await errant shots. Their signature hole, the 518-yard, par 5, 18th was rated by the local “Sun News” as one of the best finishing holes in the area. With its new Champion Dwarf Bermuda greens, some reworked teeboxes and some savvy bunker reshaping the River Club is in the best shape… Read More View Profile \| Best Rate: $54	8.28 out of 542 reviews	$54	$54	$54	$54
Myrtle Beach National - West Myrtle Beach National - West 8.32 out of 519 reviews This is the longest of the three Myrtle Beach National golf courses. This tract features wide fairways, numerous doglegs, fairway bunkers, natural hazards and large well-bunkered greens. Winding through a pine forest, wayward shots can easily find trees blocking your next shot. Water only comes into play is on No. 18, a 221-yard, par 3. They virtually rebuilt this course in 2003, and conditions have been consistent ever since. With their Mini Verde Ultra Dwarf Bermuda greens and replenished bunker sand, play at the West course has definitely improved.

Waterway Hills Golf Club Waterway Hills Golf Club 7.79 out of 502 reviews This track was originally Skyway Golf Club. This facility, located on Restaurant Row, has three nines, the Lakes, Oaks and Ravine. The Ravine is shortest of the three, and gets its name from a 70-yard wide chasm. You can only get to this facility via the most unique mode of transportation in the world of golf, an aerial tramway across the Intracoastal Waterway. All three layouts play basically the same feel with somewhat rolling, narrow, tree-lined fairways, ponds, lakes, limited bunkering and average-sized greens with some undulations.

Aberdeen Country Club Aberdeen Country Club 8.01 out of 445 reviews Formally known as “Buck Creek,” which was nominated by Golf Digest as “America’s Best New Course for 1990.” In 1998 the renamed “Aberdeen” was the only recipient in the Carolina’s to receive Golf Digest medallions for value and service. This 27-hole tract with the Meadows, Highlands and Woodlands nines is tucked among hardwoods along the Waccamaw River. It features extensive mounding, wide landing areas and bent grass greens, and presents a different feel, look and challenge on each nine. As with all of the courses located in the low-lying Highway 9 corridor, “cart paths only” are a frequent occurrence here.… Read More View Profile \| Best Rate: $38	8.01 out of 445 reviews	$38	$38	$38	$38
Long Bay Club Long Bay Club 8.24 out of 413 reviews While this layout is a Jack Nicklaus “signature course,” it is far better than many of his higher-priced spreads. It features deep pot bunkers, vast waste areas, extensive mounding, tight fairways, fast greens and a great little par-3 (No. 13). This is one of the better-drained courses in the soggy Highway 9 corridor. Their 10th hole (1st. picture above) has become one of the most recognized golf holes in Myrtle Beach, and their Champion Ultra Dwarf Bermuda greens are consistently some of the best in town.

Tradition Golf Club Tradition Golf Club 8.3 out of 398 reviews Like the name says, this is a traditional-style layout in the land of plantation-style courses. It opened in 1996 by being named the Best New Public Golf Course by Golf Digest. This was the first course in the Myrtle Beach area to incorporate women-specific considerations in its design and construction, resulting in Golf for Women naming it a Top Fairways track. It features wide fairways, lots of sand, water in play on ten holes, seven holes in the marshes, large, undulating greens, and two island greens one of them is a par 4.

Litchfield Country Club Litchfield Country Club 7.92 out of 373 reviews This old course, built on the site of a Southern rice plantation, was the first golf course in the Litchfield-Pawley’s Island area and was the flagship for the historic plantation courses to come. It has maintained its original features over the decades, including the narrow mature tree-lined fairways, hard doglegs, giant oaks and lakes, as well as the player-friendly greenside pathways for bump and run approach shots. In 1996 it was ranked one of the “World’s 50 Best” by Conde Nast Traveler. No. 18 was picked by local golfers as one of the Top 100 Golf Holes on the Grand… Read More View Profile \| Best Rate: $48	7.92 out of 373 reviews	$48	$48	$48	$48
Wild Wing Plantation - Avocet & Hummingbird Wild Wing Plantation - Avocet & Hummingbird 8.2 out of 310 reviews The Avocet - for many years a Top 5 golf course on the MBGA Player’s Top 20 golf course - was always the best of the original four courses that were at this facility, with consistently some of the best greens in town. It features multiple tees, elevated tees, wide landing areas, contoured fairways, double fairways, grass bunkers, moderate amount of sand, strategically placed water, fast, elevated and even a double green serving two holes. In 1994 Golf Digest named it as one of The Top 10 Best New Resort Courses in America, and in 1997 they named the 14th… Read More View Profile \| Best Rate: $54	8.2 out of 310 reviews	$54	$54	$54	$54
Pawleys Plantation Golf & Country Club Pawleys Plantation Golf & Country Club 8 out of 310 reviews Currently ranked as No. 26 in South Carolina by Golf Digest, we have nicknamed this course “The Yo-Yo,” because it has constantly gone back ‘n forth from great to lousy. Currently it is in very good shape, and since the Myrtle Beach National Company bought it things here have improved remarkably across the board, especially staff attitudes. Built in a Low Country forest overlooking vast salt marshes it features fairways dotted with water and homes. There are obstacles of some kind on every hole with large Tif Eagle Bermuda grass greens surrounded by bunkers.

Wachesaw East Plantation Wachesaw East Plantation 8.13 out of 304 reviews This golf course, designed by Clyde Johnston, was built on the site of a former rice plantation. This track is heavily wooded and framed with oaks and has a gentle undulating terrain. It features five sets of tees and freshwater lakes abutting many of the greens. It was the home of the LPGA’s unsuccessful foray to Myrtle Beach when it hosted the nationally televised the LPGA and Kathy Ireland/Greens Competition Classic, which late became the LPGA’s Susan G. Komen Classic, both tournaments tanked. Under the previous management the course had declined dramatically, but now with it being a part of… Read More View Profile \| Best Rate: $48	8.13 out of 304 reviews	$48	$48	$48	$48
Wachesaw Plantation Wachesaw Plantation 8.13 out of 304 reviews Overlooking the Waccamaw River, this is one of only a handful of private, member-owned golf clubs on the Grand Strand. In 1986, Golf Digest dubbed it the No. 1 Golf Course in Myrtle Beach. In 1996 they rated it the 15th Best Golf Course in South Carolina and the 16th Best in 1997. It features generous rolling, tree-lined fairways, grassy, buff-colored bunkers, lots of Love grass covered mounds (which Tom Fazio dubbed his “Wachesaw look”) along with some exceptional multi-level, elevated greens, especially No. 18 overlooking the Waccamaw River. This tract is getting a bit long-in-the-tooth, and needs a face-lift,… Read More View Profile \| Best Rate: $48	8.13 out of 304 reviews	$48	$48	$48	$48

Recently Caledonia’s sister track, True Blue, has been getting the better reviews, but if you’ve got the scratch, and want to play one of the most talked about courses in town, then tee it up here.

Myrtle Beach National - SouthCreek Myrtle Beach National - SouthCreek 8.48 out of 251 reviews This is the easier of the three Myrtle Beach National courses. Water comes into play on only six holes, and the well-guarded greens are relatively small. Winding through wetlands and hardwood forests, it’s a relatively flat tract, but uneven lies are common because of some of the mounding, and their new Mini Verde Ultra Dwarf Bermuda greens are a big plus. Numerous waste areas also come into play here. Read More View Profile \| Best Rate: $38	8.48 out of 251 reviews	$38	$38	$38	$38

This is one of the earliest of the “plantation style” golf courses. It was built on the site of the pre-Civil War True Blue and Midway rice plantations. It winds through over 600-acres of giant magnolias, 300-year-old oaks,… Read More View Profile \| Best Rate: $48	8.32 out of 233 reviews	$48	$48	$48	$48
Arrowhead Country Club Arrowhead Country Club 8.4 out of 205 reviews As this course has become more and more of a housing project with a golf course, the quality of play has declined proportionately. This facility built its reputation on its challenging layout and friendly people, and while the friendliness continues, the experience comes up short. It features three 9-hole tracts: The Waterway, The Lakes and The Cypress, each one with its own feel and challenge. Old pro, Ray Floyd, worked closely with the architect Tom Jackson to design a track with the feel of courses set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The 1st and 9th holes are truly islands, surrounded by wetlands. It features dynamic elevation changes, tight fairways, sand, waste and oyster shell bunkering, elevated tee boxes and Tif Dwarf Bermuda greens, which are medium sized with moderate undulation.

Grande Dunes Members Club Grande Dunes Members Club 8.32 out of 156 reviews This is one of the newer golf courses in the Myrtle Beach area. It was designed by PGA Tour great, Nicky Price, and a virtual unknown designer, Craig Schreiner. They have termed their design “inland style,” whatever the hell that means, but we think the correct label would “Double Design style,” because it is two types of golf courses rolled into one. While it does have wide fairways, the front nine is kind of a parkland design with tree-lined fairways; the back nine is more of a links layout.
