About this course
Blackmoor, a Grand Strand fixture, stands as Nick Price's only Myrtle Beach design—a course where risk-reward scenarios are perpetually on the tee sheet. Routed through the lowcountry terrain of Murrells Inlet, the course favors strategic play, especially off the tee, as Price entices golfers to bite off more than they can chew. A course that rewards creativity and proper placement, where aggressive drives into small windows can turn 5's into 4's. Built in the early '90s, Blackmoor avoids the length-obsessed trends of modern golf architecture. Rather, the course demands accuracy and a willingness to navigate strategically placed bunkers and water hazards. The course has a reputation for being in immaculate condition, and a local favorite, with a number of repeat players and course regulars who can be seen enjoying a post round beer after a round. While not the host of major championships, Blackmoor is a local favorite, known for its playability and conditioning. In particular, the 14th hole, a par 4 with a split fairway, invites debate over strategy, and is a favorite spot for players to share anecdotes about. Blackmoor offers a quintessential Myrtle Beach golf experience, approachable for all skill levels, yet challenging enough to keep seasoned players engaged.

Getting there
Most visitors to Blackmoor Golf Club arrive through Myrtle Beach International Airport, a straightforward forty-minute drive north along the coastal corridor. The route traces Highway 17 south through the heart of the Grand Strand, gradually leaving behind the resort bustle for the quieter, salt-marsh beauty of Murrells Inlet - a historic fishing village where tidal creeks and live oaks begin to dominate the landscape. As you turn inland toward the club, the transition is immediate: the coastal highway gives way to tree-canopied lanes and the hushed, lowcountry atmosphere that defines this corner of South Carolina's golf country.
