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.

Easy 9-hole with the family
I was looking for an easier course for my family (5 players). The course is shorter than most courses on the strand. I like the open layout with room for error, especially since I was playing with 25+ handicappers. The check in was easy and friendly employee. It started raining and option were clearly explained. There is no liquor at bar, beer and wine only. Overall, a good experience. Course is fun and not too challenging for average golfer.
Valley at Eastport
Course was in overall decent shape for this time of year. Greens a bit bumpy as one would expect but fairly quick. Layout was semi challenging but fair. Nice staff.
I don't recommend this course
We'd driven by this course several times since buying in the area and were intrigued by the layout. But as we played (only the front nine) we saw poor conditionsthroughout. The greens were fast but extremely bumpy and lumpy. The layout was tricked up and many holes looked to be carved out of space where there is no room for a hole. On the ninth hole we had to drive into golfers teeing off on one. Overall poor condition from greens, to fairway to rough. The cart paths are mostly dirt and rough. We won't be back because there are too many resonably priced golf courses in the region that are in much better condition.
Good course for $
Always find this course somewhat challenging, although not too long
ALWAYS LOVE THIS COURSE
Best bang for your buck...best course best price..Diamond in the rough
Southern Scoop
Fun course, good conditions for this time of year, good pace ,friendly helpful staff (Mark). An enjoyable round.
Course needs alot if TLC
This course could be so much better if it was manicured. Overall it was a nice layout, but was not maintained well at all. Cart paths were horrible, broken pavement and muddy. It had rained very hard the night before so muddy conditions was not unusual but even so the course was very disappointing. Also signage was lacking. Couldn’t find our way several times. Not what you expect at a public course where you’re not familiar with the layout.
Needs. More yardage markers
The course needs more visible yardage markers. I guess they expect people to have GPS or yardage scopes. The pace of play was really slow and no player’s assistants out.
Always love this course
Conditions of the course were great. Well maintained
Great Outing
First time and we were welcomed by Tom and Joe at the bag drop and Bill in the Pro shop. We were asked if we minded being matched with another couple and we said no. We had a blast with this couple a little younger than us but all over 70. The course was in great shape for mid February and the pace was very good.
Great Round
Great little course nestled in the famous blue crab region of Little River SC. Though it is a short course with a Par 70, the technical difficulties of narrow fairways, multiple hills with blind sand traps and never ending water opportunities, this course will challenge you! Course is well maintained and the staff is friendly and engaging. This is a local favorite for many. Good luck and bring your A game 👍
