Challenging Course with strong winds

Played this course on Sat 10/5, it was very windy, gusting to 20mph. The course seemed to be set up hard, as the tees were back and several pins were tucked. A majority of holes seemed to be playing into the very strong gusting wind, making approach shots very difficult. Par 3's were strong playing between 170-200 yds against the winds. Would like to play again with less wind as the overall course layout was very good. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Play it now!

Course was in amazing condition!! We played right after the World Am, and the conditions couldn’t have been better. Fairways were mowed to perfection. Rough was deep enough to add another challenge when playing from it. Bunkers were in very good condition. And the greens were true and quick. Best condition of the season!
Course layout is always a challenge! #9 is my personal nemesis hole with that waste area and its magnetic pull for my ball.
Pro shop and snack bar are always well staffed with friendly personnel.
I’m a local, so I can’t wait to play it again soon!!

Need a course Ranger

We were delayed starting because the group in front arrived late for their tee time. By the middle of the front 9 they were now over 2 holes behind the group ahead. This together with the players not racking any bunkers. .. 3 of the 4 in the green side bunker on the 1st par 3 and the one who picked up the rake used it as a crutch to get out!
Clearly this is a problem on this course as theirs weren't the only foot prints.
Beautiful course unpoliced.

Pace of Play

The course was great. The shot values we're awesome and the greens rolled awesome. The pace of play was terrible, 5 hrs to play 18 holes is way to slow. We seen one ranger the whole day.. We actually called the club house about it. A ranger did come out but it didn't matter.

Accommodating Staff

We make an annual golf trip to the Myrtle Beach area every year and Tradition is always on our list. They have one of the friendliest staff I’ve come across in all my golf travels. The staff was very accommodating and knowledgeable. From the bag drop guys, to pro shop staff to the lady on the beverage cart, everyone was first class. The course itself is always in great shape and this year was no exception. We are already looking forward to next year!

Another SC Gem!

If you have the opportunity to play at Tradition and you don’t, you’re truly missing out on one of the best courses. Every year we come to MB for a week of golf and this course is right up there with the best around. Absolutely perfect condition from tee to green, well-maintained despite poor weather, and an accommodating staff that was genuine and fun to talk to. Can’t wait to play this one again - we’ll be playing Tradition every time we come back!

Great course

Course was a lot of fun. Played 3 others this trip and by far this was best. Area had lots of rain 24 hours before and Course drained well. Especially compared to others. Greens were awesome and fairways were not too far behind. Definitely give this one a go!

Poor layout and poorer conditions

One of the worst courses I've played in Myrtle Beach. The layout of the course was poor. Can't hit driver on most of the par 5s, there are trees in the middle of most fairways, and there is just as much sand on the greens as in the bunkers. Do yourself a favor and play another course.

Awsome!

Extremely nice golf venue. Shot a nice score, plenty of trouble to get in to. Greens are medium fast, played the day after a heavy rain. Some forced carries, plenty of sand, lots of water. Going to be one of my MB favorites. Staff was very helpful, friendly, and accommodating.

Good course in Myrtle Beach that won't bust your pocket

Played here on New Years and the weather wasn't the best I've ever seen but the course was great. It was about 58 degrees and there was lots of rain. The parking lot was not very busy but the course was filled with experienced and nice locals from Litchfeild Beach area. The plants and clubhouse where very nice with great staff friendlyness.

Like I said the weather wasn't exactly the best weather but it was ok and the course just nailed it. The drainage system was nice and esorbed all the water that was standing in the grass. The putting green was a little small but the driving range was nice and the Marshall at the first hole was really chill and didn't really care if we hit mulligans of one.

The course itself was in fantastic shape for the winter and really enjoyed the fact that the greens where running true and where fast. The course wasn't overly long and doesn't eat you alive, which gave me lots of birdie opertunities. This also gives the average 10 handicap a chance to break 85. There was a good amount of water and a lot of good holes on the course which I appreciated.

Overall I really enjoyed the course and would definitely recommend the course.

Great course for the money

Played this course as the first of 3 courses during our Pawley's Island golf trip. The course was in terrific shape. The greens were on the slower side because they had been over seeded but they rolled nicely. The staff was friendly. Great course if you are visiting the area.

Nice Layout

T-Storms in the forecast limited us to nine holes. Played the back nine. Course was in excellent shapes. T-Storms were in the vicinity when we made the turn so we decided to ask for a 9 hole rain check which the club gave to us without any hassle. Very accommodating staff. Can't wait to go back.

Great round of golf

Great round. Had not played there in about 10 years until this summer. Played with a friend and a local. The local gave great information about the course. Greens had a few rough spots but they kept pins away from those areas. course was in great shape. Huge fairway bunkers. Stay out of them.

Solid Track

The Tradition Club is an excellent course and was in very good condition. The tees, fairways, and greens were all very good. Greens were running at 10-10.5 on the stimp meter the day I played. I was paired up with another single. This is a solid test of golf on Pawleys Island and I highly recommend this course.

Good Course

Played this course as part of a Myrtle Beach package. This was the first time my group had played this course and we did not know what to expect. We were presently surprised at how well the course had held up to the amount of rain Myrtle Beach had the week we were there. The course is long and challenging from the back tees and has some difficult holes with lots of sand along with some easier scoring holes. The course has generous fairways that were nicely maintained and greens that are tricky but fair... Only real concern was the August green maintenance for plugging (couldn't be helped as we know) and the fact that they started us on that back...The back is a nice side but the front is by far the tougher side and after playing in 94 degree heat it would have been nice to play the finishing holes arguably toughest 3 hole stretch on the course when we were not exhausted.

Great Course

My first time at The Tradition and I will be back. The only negative was they were having a members Labor Day captains choice tournament and teed us off right in the middle of it so it was very slow going. I have no negative comments on the golf course....it was great. Wide fairways, rough was about the height of the golf ball so it was playable. Greens had consistent speed, they said the green speed was 10 but I don't think they were that fast. This is the best course for the money I have played at Myrtle Beach!
