Mike Strantz doesn’t miss. Fantastic course undulating interesting greens not a boring hole on the course. Tougher than True Blue across the street. Big oaks with Spanish Moss complete the classic look. Got a great winter deal in Jan.

…not a fan of a hole with a long forced carry on the last hole. Long distance between holes Unorganized Parking Lot Bag Drop area seemed not very functional ability and starting holes across the street causes confusion

The renovation a few years ago made it wide open and it plays like an old-school test. Some absolutely brutal par 4’s and a ton of really fun mid and long iron shots. Easy pars and hard birdies.

Hard to imagine having more fun on a golf course. If you Like Mike Strantz designs you’ll love this. Huge greens great pin placements. Almost a completely different course each time you play it.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s layout rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Layout is the layout score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs layout ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Myrtle Beach, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
