TPC Myrtle Beach, designed by Tom Fazio with assistance from Lanny Wadkins, opened in 1999 as the Grand Strand's 100th golf course.

Set south of Myrtle Beach in Murrells Inlet, the golf course features an abundance of bird life and natural wetlands, which come into play on 11 holes and pine trees frame many of the holes. Tom Watson proclaimed TPC Myrtle Beach an "interesting challenge and a quiet walk in nature."

Amazing staff paired with a fantastic course

The staff friendliness made the entire experience. From the time you pull up, the gentlemen who take your bags welcomes you with open arms. The gentlemen working the pro shop was super friendly. Lastly, the starters and on-course staff were amazing. I have played over 200 courses, and this is the best staff experience I have ever had. They make the experience special.

The course is scenic with very little housing. The holes are challenging enough to make it fun, but not overly difficult. I will definitely be back to play here, tops in Myrtle beach. Great work on keeping perfect conditioning .

As good as I'd been told

Our buddies golf trip (12 of us) just played here last week. A couple of our group had played here last year and told me it was spectacular -- they were right. Everything about the place was superb -- course conditions, the staff, practice facilities -- it was all top notch. The greens were the best we played all week. If I had to nit-pick, about the only thing I can think of is that I wish the hot dog I had after the round had a heated/toasted bun -- that's it. In every respect, an outstanding day at an outstanding facility run by a superb staff. Our trip is an annual affair, and TPC Myrtle will be a "must play" on each trip.

Exactly what you'd expect from a TPC

I was very excited to play this course simply because of the brand attached to it. A golf course designed for pros but great for amateurs as well. It's a solid routing and it really flows as one, everything feels natural with the surroundings. I was amazed by the bunkering on this course, Fazio and Wadkins did a spectacular job with the placement as well as the depth of these. You do not want to land in them. The only drawback was that the first couple holes started fairly slow. I would definitely be back, cracks my top 5 on the strand.

Want to play again when dry

This is an excellent course layout, however in later Dec when I play the course was in very bad shape. The pro said that it had been a very rainy month and it showed. The fairways were all very long and some so wet the ball would plug, but understandable out of season. Would like to play in peak season to see how good it can be.

Nice track

This is home of Dustin Johnson. Course was in great condition... Greens were maybe aerated 2 months prior and we're speedy. Awesome clubhouse and staff welcomes you with open arms and makes you want to come back.... Challenging track.... Keep it out of the trees and if u want to score well. My one complaint is the pace..... They like most other courses double book and send people out on #1 and #10.... And i tend to disagree with that.... Tee time was at 7:30 and paired with another single we zoomed around course in an hour and half.... When we made the turn we were told we had to wait.... And that we had to pair up with another twosome to slow down our pace. When u book a text time early, u book it with hopes of getting through round as fast as possible.... You shouldn't be punished for playing fast and have to wait to continue round. Case in point is why I hate double booking. The starter was excellent in setting us up and group we paired up with was awesome, but bottom line is if you play early you should be able to continue your round at same pace... Now with all that being said the course is an excellent track. I will revisit and I do recommend.

Great course.

Played Dustin Johnson's home course, TPC Myrtle Beach, today for the first time. I had a 1:12 tee time, expecting I would likely be playing with other golfers. That didn't happen. After hitting a few practice balls, the starter, Don, treated me as if I was a member. I played solo, and Don went out of his way to accommodate me starting me on the back, so no one would slow me down. I loved the layout of the course. It was in very good shape. Greens were still healing but rolled very quick and true. A few fairways had a couple bare places, but nothIng to complain about. I would definitely recommend playing this course if you are staying in the Myrtle Beach area. Thanks for a great round of golf!

Great Place

Played here last 2 summers. Incredible experience. Played with family 2 years ago. Staff was awesome. Last summer, played with buddy. We experienced deer, turkeys, and even an alligator. If you keep ball in fairway, you can score. If you miss fairway, it becomes very difficult. Greens are huge. I will play this course every summer again and again.

Top of the List

This course doesn't play or look like a beach course. This tree lined beauty has everything you could ask for in a golf course. The elevation changes blew my mind and can't think of any other grand strand courses with this attribute. I have made this one of if not the best course at the beach right beside or on top of Caledonia which is priced into the stratosphere with little discount for juniors. TPC kids play free is a great program and I will always play here and recommend it to all my friends. It has many sets of tees to make it as hard as you want. This is a quality facility with outstanding layout and conditions. This is a must ;play.

Not a Must play

Very little grass on the entire course, the staff was shocked by us asking for grass. Imagine that asking for grass on a golf course. Played 6 rounds worst course by a mile. No pin sheets handed out to the entire group. When asked about all the holes having gold flags, the starter said to use the pin that wasn't handed out. Don't waste your money on poor conditions. There was a big pile of dirty that was left in front of the 1st tee box. Only 1 worker was seen on the course. Could had some one picking up leaves that are everywhere .

My group of 8 played this course in Mid March. Same conditions. Very disappointed. Not a course for your average golfer. Save your $$$ for a more playable course, like the Wizard.

Every thing I expected from a TCP course.

The facility was impressive and the staff is very accommodating. The course is challenging but not punishing. The Greens were the fastest I have ever played but they were very true and I’m looking forward to playing them again. It was what I expected from a course where the pros play.

A True TPC Experience

TPC Myrtle Beach is well worth whatever you pay for it. Great layout, great facilities (clubhouse, range, bar), fairways and tee boxes in really good shape. Greens were mowed real tight and they rolled true and fast!

6 hour round and staff didn't care.

This was one of the longest rounds of my life. I called the clubhouse from the 10th tee after a 3 hour front nine. They sent a ranger out who said there was nothing wrong with the pace of play???? Other than being a TPC course I see no reason to play it with so many great courses in the area. It's very tight off of the tees and just not a lot of fun. Condition was poor relative to other area courses. After the round I went into the clubhouse to let them know how slow the course was playing and the guy behind the counter told me he was to busy to talk to me. I am a 9 handicap and play about 60 rounds per year. I will not return.

A round of golf we will remember for a long time. Great day.

Very nice clubhouse with an excellent staff. The golf course wasn't pristine, but the design is incredible and the final holes are amazing. The best challenge in the area.

Course is worth playing on it's merit.

I will not return or bring my group back. Paying to be harrassed by staff is not on my list of fun things. Everything was okay until we finished the round and had to deal with the cart return people. I refused to argue and just walked away as I came to the area to enjoy myself and the golf. I will return to Myrtle Beach but have removed TPC from our play list for the next trip. There are many courses in the area that understand customer service. I find this sad as I did like the course and the proshop personel were professional and courteous. This is the first time I have pulled a Fazio course from our play list .

The course is my favorite in the Myrtle beach area.

The course was in excellent condition. I was a single and played with three other singles, one my age, one younger, and one senior. The senior played from the senior tees and the rest of us played the blue tees. It was about right for me as a 15 handicap but the others indicated they would play from the white tees next time. I was hitting mid-iron to wedge to most greens. I love the views and the use on natural landscape. The wooden bridges over wetland areas were visually appealing as well as functional.
