The best courses you can play in South Carolina

“Typically flat courses are more score-able, but that is not the case at The Ocean; instead, you find yourself battling the various hazards and most notably the daunting wind. Let me be clear, you will feel as if you are playing defense on this course.”

“This place is unbelievable. From the moment you pull up to the bag drop, you know you’re somewhere special. The staff sets the tone immediately — friendly, professional, and genuinely proud of the place.”

“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.”

“The course itself is always in fantastic shape. You can really tell they take pride in the conditioning — lush fairways, pure greens, and those Lowcountry sand dunes and native grasses perfectly blended throughout the layout.”

“…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 MUNI, as many know it by, is a shining example of what public golf in America could and should be. There’s no flashy clubhouse, no incredible piece of land, and no pricey greens fee.”

“Classic Nicklaus course. I am not a fan of only having one way into a green (in the air). I also think it’s probably not that playable for individuals (like my wife) who aren’t hitting it high. I bet the new C&C at Palmetto Bluff is going to blow May River out of the water.”

“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.”

“Heron Point by Pete Dye is another gem tucked inside the Sea Pines Resort and shares the same clubhouse, facilities, and overall vibe as Atlantic Dunes — which already makes it a great experience from the start.”

“Nice staff, good restaurant, course is in outstanding shape, only complaint is no driving range. Other than that, solid course and club”

“I’ll always have a soft spot for Walker since it’s the golf course from my Alma mater. Great value and a fun layout. Tiger paw green on 17 is super special and the back 9 on the water is really cool. If in the area it’s worth it.”

“Not a huge fan. We played it in a drought which probably didn’t help but it wasn’t in great shape especially tee boxes. Front is a nice course for the Carolina’s but the back feels gimmicky and forced.”

“A really fun course that has some easy holes, some funky holes, some great marsh views, and cool green complexes. My favorite at Kiawah outside the Ocean.”

“Played right after a hurricane so unfortunately missing a lot of trees, but very pretty course and incredibly well maintained. Tiny pro shop and snack shack sort of thing. Kind of nice not having a clubhouse, and great track for the money.”

“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”

“Very similar to turtle without the trio of ocean holes. A few fun holes but it’s just a standard resort course.”

“Hilton Head National is one of those courses I always look forward to playing. It’s got that perfect mix of fun and challenge without ever feeling over the top.”
