TPC Myrtle Beach

Twelve of us teed off starting at 9:03A on the back nine. Handicaps ranging from 4 to 20. On the 4th hole we were already being told to pick up the pace. That we were 5 minutes behind. On the 6th hole, again being told we needed to pick up the pace and that we were a whole hole behind. Not holding anyone up, but behind. On the the 7th hole an assistant from the pro shop came out, told us we were playing too slow, and suggested having us play the par 3 17th, skip 18, play the front nine, then play the 18th last. AGAIN, we were not holding anyone up but, by the course's standards we were playing too slow. Then, one more time with 3 holes left, we were told we had 43 minutes to finish. Needless to say I felt rushed and it was the most unenjoyable round of golf I've ever played.

TPC Myrtle Beach is a challenging course. And with wide range of handicaps playing, you're going to have some good holes and bad holes. We finished in 4hrs 45min. We payed $114 each. To most, a lot to pay for a round of golf. A treat for the golf enthusiast.

As it turns out the staff was more worried about getting us off the course for they're afternoon tee times then they were about letting us enjoy our round at TPC Myrtle Beach.

Course was in great condition and a very nice layout. Challenging but not crazy hard.

Realized later I could have played much cheaper. Pace was good on our first 9 holes (they started us on the back 9). When we made the turn they had two groups waiting to start in front of us. Sat there for 25 minutes. Annoying. If you're already in a round why not have the right away? Also, they didn't let carts off the path for most of the round. Also annoying as course was not wet at all. Added 45 minutes to the round just walking from cart path to ball and back.

Food was meh....

Maybe my expectations were too high after playing other TPC courses, but I was disappointed by TPC Myrtle Beach. The course was in fair condition with overseeded immature fairways. The greens were in decent shape but there were too many ball marks left without repair. The course had gotten 2 inches of rain earlier in the week so it was cart path only with no exceptions (even for my dad who has trouble walking long distances). To be fair, I acknowledge that this contributed to the pace of play, but no round of golf should take 5 hours and 10 minutes…EVER!! The course has a great layout and if the condition was better it could be amazing, but it certainly fell flat today.

The wife and i played here for the first time and we were greeted at the bag drop by great staff. This course is an absolute must for any golfer from the first tee shot to the last putt you will be in awe. We can't wait to come back to Myrtle Beach to play here again and we will play here again thank you for an amazing day.

My golf group and I planned an entire golf trip with this course being the headliner! We were unable to fully experience the course March 2022 due to a terrible storm, so we were looking forward to the challenge. We booked multiple tee times with the course and received a confirmation number. We arrived to the course at approximately 12:30p and was notified that our tee times were unexpectedly changed from 1:30pm to 8:00am without any prior notice, causing significant inconvenience. Additionally, despite being told we could play at 2:30pm due to their bookings, that time would not work for our group (8 golfers) due to the possibility of not finishing. Out of their list of over 20 affiliated courses, we were redirected to Willbrook. With no other tee times, we decided to go. Once we arrived, we noticed it was Willbrook Plantation! Which was definitely not our preferred choice. Coincidence? I think not!!! Maybe that’s why they didn’t covey the entire name of the course and just referred to it as Willbrook. 

What added to our disappointment was the feeling of being treated differently due to the racial makeup of our golf group, which consisted of all Black individuals. Such discriminatory treatment is completely unacceptable and tarnished our overall experience. 

In summary, the last-minute tee time change and the redirection to another course, coupled with the perceived discrimination, left us with a negative impression of TCP Myrtle Beach. We hope they can improve their service and ensure fair treatment for all customers in the future.

The staff in the Pro Shop talked a big game about pace of play. My buddy and I started at 2pm and weren’t even able to get 18 holes in. Mind you that’s nearly 6 hours of light.

There were several groups behind us that weren’t able to play as many holes as we did.

There is no way I would ever go back here for the price when I didn’t see a ranger on the course for the 6 hours I was there. The obvious strategy is they care about your money and don’t care about your round.

I will never play here again but will recommend you play Pine Lakes Country Club. Played there the following day at the same time and the course was honestly nicer for $30 less. Never waited on a tee box and played a round in 3 hours and 20 minutes.

Pricey, staff was great, and the round was very slow.

I've played a lot of TPC courses and this was the worst one. A golfer typically associates the letters TPC with a fantastic golf course. This is far from that, and rather underwhelming. Play Grande Dunes instead, you can thank me later.

You are paying for the TPC name.
First off the staff where top notch, great guys. Lots of help.

That being said outside of that, everything was lacking. Tee times for 07/02/2023 in my grouping ranged from $100-180. We all walked away feeling as if we got played… definitely not a TPC quality track. The course has maybe 1 memorable hole on it. My local courses are the same condition if not better than this and half the price.
A lot of great golf tracks down here, this isn’t one of them unfortunately.

I thought this course was supposed to be ranked in the top 5 at Myrtle Beach. I couldn't see how! For the greens fees we paid, I certainly expected much better. Yes, the greens were punched, but TWO weeks ago. They looked like they had been punched last night. And there was no grass and washed out places on the greens. There was very little grass in the fairways in spite of being told that they overseed. Took me 9 holes to figure out how to hit approach shots off of dirt as I had never done that before. The course layout is challenging but fun. The staff was very nice and accommodating. It was scorching hot and they gave us cool ice towels at the END of the round. I could have used one at the turn, not at the end when I'm heading to the air conditioning anyway.

I enjoyed this round. Nice lay out. Recommend staying on the left side of most fairways as low hanging trees seemed to show up on the right even if in fairway. Small gator walked across fairway to about 15 feet from my ball. Greens punched a couple of weeks ago so a little rough. Staff did warn us. They were nice and said if we got started and didn’t approve they would offer rain check. Probably should have been discounted some. I would play again though.
