Myrtle Beach National Golf Club - West Course

As a big hitter, I really appreciate the "generous" nature of this Arnold Palmer course design. While it is definitely an advantage to put the ball in the fairway here, you can miss it a bit left or right and still find the ball and play it forward. The par fives are all attackable (I had two putt birdies on both 1 and 10). There's a nice variety of par threes and par fours. Most of the greens tilt back to front, making them easier to hit and hold. The greens were in very good shape and running medium-fast.
The biggest drawback I found to this course was the number of people they packed onto it. They sent groups off both sides, with no attempt to keep appropriate spacing. The starter was not helpful, and there were no active on-course ranger. The bag drop area was overwhelmed as they had a big crowd arrving for the front-and-back times on the three course in the complex.
Overall a very good golf course with an average staff - I will go back and play it again.

Course conditions were very good. Greens, fairways and bunkers well prepped and maintained
Some tees need addressimg

The course was in great condition. The greens were a little slower than expected but probably due to late in the day.
They rolled true.
Unfortunately we only got nine holes in due to an unexpected rain storm. The staff was very helpful and issued rain checks. Overall the staff was very nice.

Would have been a 5 star rating, but the pace of play on the back nine was SLOW (2 or 3 groups waiting on every tee box) and the bunkers were awful (lost a golf ball in a greenside bunker bc of standing water and mud). Fairways, greens and tee boxes all in excellent shape. Course layout was scorable and nice for a fun round. For $65 on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, I'm glad I played and would recommend the course, just beware there are a few things you need to consider.

Great cours all around nice staff well kept course, cool pro shop/ club house with Arnold Palmer memorabilia that any golf fan would love to see from such a legend. Would definitely go back!

The course was fair but challenging enough. Conditions were excellent. The greens were consistent and moderately challenging. The staff made you feel welcome.

We had a later tee time and the pace of play worked out very well. Conditions got a lot colder as we played our final 6 holes (as expected) and it seemed that many people left the course ahead and behind us giving us the ability to play at our own pace.

Would play here again.

Green medium speed not to sloppy , a lot of dogleg not really long good shape except sand trap thin overall good place

Showed up to play with a non playing partner and was paired with a local threesome which helped with the courses layout. The course is in good condition from tee to green, everyone from the cart staff to starters were very accommodating. I would recommend.

Nice course. Good value. Green fairways and greens were nice.
