The Valley at Eastport Golf Club
About
Architect Dennis Griffiths designed this track as a finesse course. He did not produce the typical beach layout when he created this 18-hole design, built in 1988. It has narrow bermudagrass fairways and large bentgrass greens and is bordered on the east by the Intracoastal Waterway.
Holes No. 1 through 15 are short, and the course lulls you up to this point. Then, the last three holes are uncharacteristically difficult.The course is mostly flat, with occasional uneven lies. Some tree-lined fairways have doglegs. The course is always fun to play and an especially fun round of golf for couples.

East' is Eden
Valley at Eastport Golf Club (Little River, SC) checks yes in every conceivable category on a vacationing golfer’s list.
If you’re unsure where to go when in unfamiliar surroundings, the saying goes “ask the locals”. I did just that and was directed to Valley at Eastport Golf Club. With about a hundred golf courses in Myrtle Beach and the surrounding area, this course manages to make itself memorable for several reasons.
From the pro shop to the last putt, the positive vibes continue to come. All golfers are aware of how important and influential an atmosphere can be to the holistic experience of a round. Sadly, all golfers are also aware that it isn’t uncommon to encounter harsh and unpleasant crew members that can fire you up prematurely to shanking your first ball. In the case of Valley at Eastport, the southern hospitality pours from the staff like gravy on biscuits. Their helpfulness is matched by their professionalism as well. Getting on the course is quick and convenient. The pro shop and starter are organized and in sync.
As your cart comes to a stop at hole 1, you’re privileged to a panorama that encompasses most of the course. In the terms of the real estate business, the course features an “open floor plan”. It is a layout that beautifully juxtaposes plush green fairways with off-colored rough. The course also manages to maintain its impressive aesthetic throughout the winter.
Playability is one the biggest components that will factor into what type of mood you leave a course in. That being said, you should be smiling as you change out of your golf shoes in the parking lot. The course theme runs throughout every hole and the experience certainly feels complete by round’s end. A touch of water here, a pinch of sand there, a tree or two and you have yourself an appetizing recipe of golf. For the amateur player, the difficulty is digestible as well. It is especially enjoyable for those “student drivers” who haven’t quite figured how to keep it straight. This is because the rough is extremely playable and there are few hindrances to an eyeline to the flag on shots at the green. It is definitely a forgiving course, and late into the round you may even find yourself playing with the same ball you started with.
As you can tell, I’m a huge fan of Valley at Eastport. There’s nicer courses (not by too much), but overall the staff, playability, and price make for an enjoyable experience every time. Do yourself a favor and go with the safe bet before risking your off day with a course you’re unsure of.

Challenging course
A number of water holes make this course challenging. It’s in good condition. Some of the greens were bumpy and a bit rough Overall we had a great time and would go back again.
Tracy
Great time 2 weeks in a role. Great course except 17th and 18th hole. Why so big of ponds! 🤣 will be playing again for sure.
Fun course to play, some very challenging holes. If I lived in the area, I would definitely play this course frequently.
Scenic
Scenic holes and well thought out variety of tees and greens.
Fun Course
I enjoyed the round. For this time of year, it was in pretty good condition. A couple of greens had some bad spots but it didn't affect play. The layout is fun with a great variety of holes some tight tee shots, some wider target areas. Short holes where you have to think a bit and longer holes (the finishing par 4 18th is a beast). Pace of play was reasonable for this area. I will definitely play here again on future trips.
Greens need a lot of work. Very bumpy..I probably won’t come back.
A pleasant surprise.
This course was a pleasant surprise. It is easily accessible, open enough for a new golfer with some challenging holes (especially 17 and 18). There wasn’t a beverage cart but I didn’t expect one on a Tuesday in April. It is a fantastic value!
Was good, could be great.
The course was short and fair with an enjoyable layout. The condition of the fairways was good, but some of the greens needed some work.
An Average Course
There are several challenging holes with lots of water. Greens not in great shape.
