Litchfield Country Club

I like this course and have played it before when in Myrtle Beach. The course was in good condition, albeit, somewhat wet from all the recent rains in the area. This required cart paths only on 3 or 4 holes. The greens were great, and the bunkers had at least some sand.

Problem we had was slow play. We had a group in front of us that played with no urgency. Although we teed off 15 minutes early, we still barely finished at dark, 4 hours + 45 minutes.

I think since they did a crossover for tee times on the morning round, they should have done the same for the pm. Instead, starter put everyone out on the front nine, while the back nine was wide open.

All that said, I will play here again. Just hope for faster play

A lot of the holes at Litchfield are the same. 340-380 par 4’s with tight doglegs that don’t allow you to hit driver or fairway wood if you’re a longer hitter. Most holes are iron off the tee to the center, play for position, and hit a mid iron in. That gets a little monotonous after a few holes quite honestly and there’s a few gimmicky par 5’s that basically force you to lay back 300+ yards from the green so going for it in two isn’t an option. The pace for Saturday AM round was great on the first 9 but for some reason the ciurse did simultaneous tee times so they were teeing groups off 10 and the last 10th tee group teed off as we approached 10 tee. We waited every hole on the back 9 because of it. First 9 we played in 1 hour 30 minutes. Second 9 about 2 hours 15 minutes because of the logjam they caused. Wasn’t a fan of that course strategy as no one likes to fly around one 9 and stand there picking daisies the next due to slow play.

Easy course. Don't expect to hit driver much. There is trouble if you hit it through the doglegs (I think 13 of 18 holes have some bend in it). If you keep it in or relatively close to the fairway, you should be fine. Greens were a very slow after being punched and sanded over, but they held and weren't bad. Watch out for the grain, it'll get you. Could have shot 70, ended up shooting 78 due to poor putting on my end. Everyone was very friendly. I would come back to give 70 a try again.

Im a local so Ive played alot of the courses down here but my first time at LCC. From bag drop to grill room everyone was friendly and hospitable. Course is older design so you can bump and run and be aggresive around the greens. LONG par 3's #12 measured 207 to back pin. You will get to hit a variety of shots but shot shaping is a helpful skill here. I truly enjoyed the course and look forward to playing it again soon.

Absolutely great place to play - one of the best I’ve played in Myrtle Beach. Course conditions were fantastic. Layout & scenery is second to none. Staff was very friendly and talkative. I cannot wait to come back - and I will! I

A spent a month playing here in March 2018 and it is lovely and reasonably inexpensive.

Course is in fine condition and is challenging.

Staff is outstanding and very accommodating. One of the few courses on Pawley's Island, South Carolina where you can walk and I walked. Wonderful.

Only problem was people walking their dogs on the course late in the day. Many don't understand they disturb the golfers.

Beautiful place, great people, post-golf activities not very lively however. Still ... peaceful and beautiful.

I will go back.

I played by myself on this day. It was more humid than hot and slightly windy. The fairways were descent, the bunkers had no sand and the grass around the edges of the bunkers were creeping into the bunkers. The greens were extremely slow. I have to give them the benefit of the doubt on the greens. During my round the greens were treated/layered with sand. I am taking it that they were protecting the greens from the harsh heat. If you are looking for a well manicured course, this is not the course for you. If you are looking to just the ball up and work on various shots of your game and not worry about your score, then this is the course for you.

I was really excited to play Litchfield CC and was not disappointed. Course was green and lush with fast greens. Tee boxes was in great shape and staff was really helpful and showed real pride in the course. We actually took a replay so that shows you what we thought. Old school CC that was well worth the trip out to Pawleys end of Myrtle. A must play!!

I played this course last time I visited Myrtle Beach but this time pace of play was awful. Spoke with marshalls and were told that they would speak with the slower groups in front once they passed the 4 1/2 hour mark. I'll find another course before going back to this one not worth the drive.

Fairways are thin & Greens are very slow But overall a nice layout with lot's of doglegs & decent par 3's. Staff is very friendly. Course is in ok shape for this time of year since most of the MB courses are suffering some right now

Course is not that long and if your up to a challenge can be played from the tips. I played from the whites and when I hit hit straight was left with a mid-iron or less to get home. The par threes are all quite long making it more difficult for a hacker like myself.This seems to be the norm down here as they seem make up for all 350 yd 4's with long 3's You'll need to put the ball in the fairway to score here though..Overall the course was in fine shape. No complaints on the fairways and greens.

Let me start off by saying the staff was incredibly friendly, and it really was a pleasure to feel so welcomed.

I really enjoyed the layout of the course, from the back tees the par 3s are a nice challenge & you have to work it both ways off the tee or layup to the corner of the doglegs. I really had to plot my way around and only hit 2 drivers even from the back tee boxes. I think for the lower handicap with good course management skills the back tees are the way to go; they really make you think and force you to execute your shots.

The overall course condition were good. The greens are older and have some grain to them, but still rolled nice. The greens were very healthy with lots of grass on them. My ball sat nicely in the fairway & the rough was just long enough to make shots coming out a little unpredictable... just like it should be. There is trouble to be found on this course for all but overall it's very playable. For the higher handicap player you will enjoy your day, there are no forced carries. Some bits of water cut in a little around the greens but it can all be avoided without being forced to play over it.

This course has older facilities and is not a fancy modern property but I really liked the old school laid back feel. I don't need anything but a nice course with friendly people and that's what Litchfield has!. I'll be back.

Because of weather conditions we were one of two groups on the course. Despite all the rain we had the nite before the course was in decent shape. They were willing to give us a rain check if we wanted. Challenging but not overly difficult.

was wonderful to see the fall foliage. courses has numerous tees which will provide a challenge to all skill levels.
would recommend to anyone, even a beginner as well as a low handicap player. just enjoy it the way golf is supposed to be played.

This is one of the oldest courses in the MB area and it shows. It is very tight with a dog leg on almost every hole. A driver can be used on about two or three holes but probably isnt needed. The course conditions were fair overall. No major complaints but nothing exceptional either.
The amenities were old and in need of updating. No real food in the at the grill only pre-made sandwiches and beer in a plastic cup.
Overall, it is a fun layout that forces good iron play. The base price is too steep for this course, especially condidering the local competition, but there are alot of deals available from Golfnow and others that make it a decent value.
Recommend you play it on the front end of your MB itenerary and you will appreciate the other courses much more.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Course is in very good condition. Only thing I did not like was the greens were to slow.

I loved this course. It was great challenge for my game. Great price and will play it again next year.

We played 18 holes and the staff was wonderful and detailed about how to keep our group in step with the timing and other golf groups behind and in front o us. The course was very well kept and a nice challenge with the extensive water throughout the course. I would recommend this course to anyone going to the area!

Course was in great condition; some of the best greens I played all week. We got rained out at hole 13 and were given a rain check that doesn't expire. I go to Myrtle Beach every year and am looking forward to playing here again.

Overal the course is quite nice and challenging. However, the greens were the worst greens I have ever putted on. The greens had not been cut in what seemed like weeks. It made attempting to read the greens almost impossible, and there was no telling where the ball would end up at the end of a putt. The grrens were so thick, the ball did not leave a ballmark to repair from your approach shot. Get a greens keeper, and you will have a nice course.
