Lakes/Cypress at Arrowhead Country Club

Arrowhead Country Club offers 27 holes of golf in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, designed by Raymond Floyd and Tom Jackson and opened in the late 1990s. The facility is configured as three nine-hole loops—Lakes, Cypress, and Waterway—that can be combined into three distinct 18-hole pairings. The Lakes/Cypress combination represents one of these configurations, drawing from two of the property's more wooded and water-influenced nines.

The Lakes nine lives up to its name with water hazards factoring prominently into the routing, requiring golfers to navigate carries and approach shots over or alongside ponds and wetlands. The Cypress nine threads through stands of mature cypress trees and lowcountry vegetation typical of the South Carolina coastal plain. Both nines feature relatively flat terrain characteristic of the region, with strategic bunkering and water placement providing the primary defense. The design emphasizes playability for resort and daily-fee golfers while maintaining enough challenge through hazard positioning and green contouring to test better players.

Arrowhead operates as a public-access facility serving both visitors to the Myrtle Beach golf market and local players. The course reflects the area's tradition of affordable, high-volume golf tourism, offering conditioning and amenities suited to the daily-fee model. Raymond Floyd's involvement brought tour-player perspective to the design, though the layout prioritizes accessibility and pace of play over championship-level difficulty.
