    …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

    Very tight. Not really a driver course. It’s in a neighborhood and the homes are just way too close and takes away from what could be a decent golf course. A couple of frustrating golf holes made worse by the narrowness around the course

    One of my favorite on the Barefoot Campus in Myrtle Beach. Open layout but fairway sloping gets you into some horrific angles if you catch a bad bounce. Whole Barefoot Resort is a tad pricy but I feel you gotta play at least 1 I’d you’re down there

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s value rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Value is how worth the price a golfer felt the round was. Only public and guest-friendly courses are ranked, since private clubs rarely have value ratings. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs value 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 Sunset Beach, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
