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!

Well maintained, no complaints

The course was in great shape for being July in SC, flip side being that the fairways and greens were very soft due to the amount of rain the area's had over the past few weeks. Hitting the ball in the rough actually penalized you, a nice change from a lot of other "vacation area" courses where the rough and fairways had very little variation in grass height.
Staff was extremely friendly, although it would have been nice if there was a ranger to speed up play a little.
Not a long course at all, but not gimmicky either (blind tee shots with sharp doglegs, etc.)

Great Beach Course

This is a wonderful course. It is very well maintained. The greens have a little bit of burn in them, but it did not affect play. It is a challenging course, but not overly so. I shot a new record for myself, 79.

Didn't compare to the rest of our trip

We picked this course as we got a very good deal on it and it was our first time out playing in Myrtle Beach this year and thought and easier course might be good for us. Sadly we chose poorly as this course was not in very good condition the fairways and greens were in rough shape but the layout is fantastic. The staff in the pro shop certainly didn't seem like they wanted us there as they hustled us out, gave us no pointers on the course and just wanted us to get out of the pro shop. With all of the great courses in that area including TPC of Myrtle Beach, Caledonia and Blackmoor this is a course that really needs to work to get the play that it needs from visitors.

Great conditions, challenging and fun...

Played week before Memorial Day. Excellent conditions, super greens, fairways, tee boxes.
Greens have some movement on them but nothing crazy I thought.
Friendly staff. Will return again and will recommend to others.

Quality course 7.5/10 price a little high

Course had a great layout and the staff were friendly. Price was a little steep for the quality of the course but I understand nearly all courses in the surrounding areas are.

Water everywhere!

Loved playing this challenging course. I was in a twosome, and we were the first ones to tee off at 7:30AM. We took our time and had a blast. Alligators, sand and water (two island greens) were plentiful! Great deal under $50 using golfnow.

Excellent enjoyable course

A very enjoyable and playable course. Not very difficult but it punishes bad drives, so in this sense is very fair. The greens are manicured to perfection. A great course I would strongly recommend to friends.

Great course for the money

In the Pawleys Area, courses on Golfnow ranged during the peak spring from $50-200. At $50, this was a great value for the money. Well conditioned with interesting holes.

Nice course, friendly staff, good condition

Tradition Club - Great course for the money (or otherwise), was in great shape - fairways, greens. One green was a bit out of shape, but that was it. Nice layout, tough in spots, but fair. Staff was great and friendly. It was a bit slower on the back, but overall, 4 1/2ish hours.

A little pricey but worth the extra money.

Great Bermuda greens with very little if any grain. Course layout is gorgeous and challenging. Several great looking water holes. Great driving range and practice green.

Knew it was a great off season price for a top course in Myrtle

Put this on your must play list for Myrtle Beach - played the tips and found it to be an excellent layout that requires course management throughout the round. Course is very fair and enjoyable.
