Average ...
Was told when I booked the course was in great shape ... not so much. Conditions change of course but today the greens were bumpy and inconsistent. Some were moderately quick (none very quick) and some were fuzzy and SLOW. Of the four bunkers I was in, two had six inches of sand and two were hardpan . Fairways were thin but evenly covered. Played from the tips, in the wind (20 mph all day) and the length was not a problem. No exceptional holes, except maybe the 18th which at 468 with a right to left wind that was just a fun hole to play. Very disappointed with amenities. The starter said to grab a hot dog\sandwich at the "quarterhouse' since the 9th isn't near the clubhouse. Approaching the 9th green saw the food cart in front of the quarterhouse serving the group in front of us. As we finished putting out the food cart drove away! Not waiting or asking us if we needed anything and the quarterhouse was closed and empty! By the time we saw the food cart again it was hole 14 and she "just sold her last sandwich". We told her she left us at hole 9 and she made it seem like somehow it was our fault. Not a pleasant interaction. All in all not an impressive experience today. Even if the course was in phenomenal shape this wouldn't be on my particular list of favorites to play anytime soon.
Pace of Play
We waited on every shot. We were told that it would take 4:30 to play. We were only 5 minutes over that however they don't tell you that they must of estimated a lot of time for waiting when they calculated that estimate. We played another course the next day and some locals told us that this is always the problem with this course. The said it's a cash cow and they schedule tee times just 7 minutes apart. I asked the marshal if there was someone ahead of us that was really slow. He tried to convince us that we were playing on pace for 4:30 hours. Do not waste your time at this course. You will spend more time watching other golfers then playing yourself. This course could be played in less than 3:30 hours. Many holes had 2 groups waiting.
Fair value
Saturday so you almost expect it to be slow. And it was. It all comes down to how slowly just one group is and affects everyone after that group. 4 hours and forty minutes isn’t great but we were pushing to get done before dusk. The staff was excellent and very friendly. The starter and bag guys were really cordial and funny.
Fall maintenance getting ready for winter, which made the course wet. It still was a fun rounds
Slow play
2:45 to play front nine, got to 11th tee and there were already 2 groups waiting to hit, so we left. No rangers
Golf
The pace of play was extremely slow. Lost a ball in middle of fairway due to big mud patch.
A bit below par
I played this course several years ago and found it to be in pristine condition. Coming from Ohio, I wanted to play a well conditioned course which prompted me to book this again. The staff were great-but the course was not. I was especially disappointed with many of the greens; it looked like someone randomly dumped five gallon buckets of sand on many of the geeens. Tee boxes were also showing wear. This aspect is easier to forgive . The half green-half beaches we had to putt on—not so much.
GREENS NEED TO BE BETTER
First time playing down in Myrtle Beach (planning a golf trip in the fall with some friends) and this was one of the places we looked at. Thankfully there were two courses in case we wanted to play the other. Booked the first tee time since it was supposed to rain that afternoon (it didnt lol, SC weather for you). But overall, the experience from the driving range to the staff was great. But once we started playing, there were a few greens that were not up to par at all. Saw so many patches of grass on the green as we were putting. Had hoped all the greens were not like this and they weren't, but for $74 you would expect perfect conditions or at least a heads up about them before playing. Overall, it was a pretty decent time playing.
