We played in the rain with little pockets of sunshine and hope. Of the 4 courses we played this weekend this was definitely our favorite. The facility was in great shape, staff was very accommodating with the course having minor flooding here or there. The course drained fairly well and the greens dried quickly which was amazing. It was a challenging course with everything in good shape provided the recent and current weather(tropical storm present). The greens were all fantastic while either wet or dry, some of the fairways were lightly flooded, but workable, and the tee boxes were in decent enough shape with lots of dead patches we had to maneuver. Although not ideal, we had a lot of fun and loved the course layout. Thanks so much for a very memorable round of golf!

First time playing here. Played from the #3 tee (whites). I would normally play from #2 tees, but the rest of my group was #3, so I figured to back up a tee and get some long iron work in. Some par 4's were long, and 2nd shots were in the 180 to 190 range most of the round. The course was wonderful, even though it's the middle of December! I will definitely come back here to play. Shot an 81! Not bad for the first time and not my normal tee box.

Great course! Good amount of challenge, good fairways, great staff, but unfortunately we were not informed of the aeration schedule. We had a 12 person group play two days after the greens were aerated and they played like it. I’d gladly play here again, but earlier in the season.

Played here for 1st time, was excited since it's historically oldest course in Myrtle Beach, nicknamed the granddaddy, but beware SENOIRS, several par 4s over 380 yards. The greens are below standard and need help. I played w a senoirs group of 40, got a special rate of $54, not so special now that I played here. I won't be back.
