Played Carolina National today with a golfnow friend. I live in the area and have not paid there in two or three years. The conditions of the course (tee boxes, roughs, fairways, greens, fringes) were excellent. The greens were very true and fast. You better be concentrating on what you are doing when putting or chipping. The great conditions and speed of the greens will test your golf game. We played for $32.00 today, with a $5.00 rebate from Golf Now. I can tell you without a doubt, this was a great buy and would have been a great buy for considerably more. Very impressed with Carolina National and we are going back next week now that we have seen the course and know we better bring our A game. Great day of golf. Kudos to Carolina National for putting the attention to the course that so many others drastically need,.

They are asking 85.00 to play Tigers Eye today and their hot deal is 73.00. I think I am doing a public service to warn you not to spend your money there.. Tiger's Eye is a has been golf course that was once a wonderful and great golf course and facility They look like they are on their last legs. The course(s) are no where in remotely good playing conditions and all the courses in the area are much better than the continued deteriorating conditions at Tiger's Eye and the other Cat courses. What were once gems are now sad reminders of mismanagement and total lack of care. You walk into their nice clubhouse bar and grill and cannot get a draft beer or hot food. and that tells the tale of the fiscal situation they must be in. I have read reviews of Tigers and could not believe it until I played Saturday. Management continues to make excuses , weather, heat, etc. but the other courses in the area seem to overcome it. It is pretty obvious they are in bad fiscal and management shape.

We sincerely apologize for the conditions you described in your review. We definitely experienced a difficult stretch during the late summer and early fall and we greatly apologize for that. We certainly tried to work with any and all guests who had any issues during this challenging period and hopefully that was the case with your group as well. If not, again, I apologize and ask that you reach back out to us directly (ask for Bill Long) and we would appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this matter. On the brighter side, the addition of a new Director of Agronomy with a tremendous amount of experience and training (Along with a stronger support staff) has already led to significant overall improvements to all The Big Cats courses in just a few weeks. The positive buzz at the counter in the past week has been so exciting to hear and we are looking forward to steady progress throughout the remainder of 2020 and beyond. We hope you will give us another opportunity to make amends for the unsatisfactory conditions you experienced on your previous visit. Thank you for your past patronage and we hope to see you again soon.

Morning Round at Diamondback

Very nice golf course with a very interesting layout. Plenty of turns and bends. .The course was in pretty good shape, but it is more than obvious it gets in excellent shape in the spring, early summer and fall. The staff were very professional and extremely nice. Nice driving range and putting facilities as well. The course is what I would call a second look golf course. I would definitely play it prior to playing in a tournament or competitive round as it has some places you don't want to hit that you may not see the first time (not many, but a few). Good time and I highly recommend it.

A Gem that needs TLC

Tigers Eye has the potential to be "the" must play course in Myrtle Beach. The layout is excellent. the scenery is very nice. The wildlife you may see is second to none. The major drawback of Tiger's is no secret and that it needs an influx of manpower and money to get it into a five star or even a tru 4 star rating, While the conditions of the greens have improved over the last year or so, it is still not up to par insofar as condition. The layout of the course keeps its rating as high as it is now. If Tiger's Eye was in 5 star rating shape, they could charge whatever they wanted in season and pack them in. Unfortunately, that is not the case now.

Played Lockwood Foll today with my wife. Very nice layout. The course was extremely wet, but only CPO on a few holes. The course conditions were pretty good and it is more than obvious that the spring and fall seasons will find this course in excellent shape. The clubhouse and restaurant was very nice, Great views of the sound and a wonderful place to have a beer and lunch after the round. The staff from the starter, counter people, ranger, and restaurant personnel were excellent. We would definitely like to come back and play again on a drier day. fun day and nice place.
