Myrtlewood Golf Club
Myrtlewood Golf Club features two distinct 18-hole courses—Palmetto’s scenic waterways and forgiving fairways, and PineHills’ strategic, rolling layout designed by Arthur Hills. Both offer diverse challenges set amidst South Carolina’s vibrant coastal landscape, making Myrtlewood a standout for golfers of all levels.
Course Overview
Myrtlewood Golf Club in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, offers a compelling dual-course experience, blending natural beauty with thoughtful design across two distinctive 18-hole layouts: Palmetto and PineHills. Each course shapes its own character, inviting golfers of varied abilities to engage with the terrain, clubs in hand and focus unwavering.
The Palmetto Course presents a more forgiving landscape with lush fairways that sweep alongside the Intracoastal Waterway, bringing water hazards into play on nearly half its holes. Its design emphasizes flow and approachability, making it well suited for mid-handicappers and those seeking a balanced challenge without undue frustration. The 18th hole, in particular, serves as a memorable finale, with a scenic drive and approach shot that run parallel to the shimmering waterway, often framed by a late-afternoon sun.
In contrast, the PineHills Course, a creation by architect Arthur Hills, demands strategic precision. Rolling fairways, well-placed bunkers, and nuanced green complexes reward thoughtful shot-making and course management at every turn. The layout is ideal for players looking to sharpen their game, with elevation changes and undulating terrain adding layers of complexity. The smooth putting surfaces on PineHills allow players to practice a delicate touch, further enhancing the tactical battle.
Myrtlewood’s facilities support each round seamlessly. A welcoming clubhouse offers comfort before and after play, while attentive staff provide helpful service that elevates the overall visit. Carts are well-maintained and the course’s walking conditions are friendly, with well-defined paths and moderate elevation changes that accommodate both walkers and riders.
Whether you seek the scenic waterways and open fairways of Palmetto or the strategic, rolling challenges of PineHills, Myrtlewood Golf Club delivers a pair of courses that balance natural charm with player-focused design. Its location in the heart of Myrtle Beach makes it an accessible stop for visitors eager to experience South Carolina golf beyond the usual tourist track.
Course Highlights
The Palmetto Course highlights water hazards that come into play on 11 holes, crafting a serene yet strategic environment, notably its finishing hole adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway. PineHills offers a contrasting challenge with rolling fairways, deliberate bunkering, and subtle elevation shifts characteristic of architect Arthur Hills. Together, the courses provide complementary tests of golf skill and course adaptability, enhanced by attentive maintenance and modern facilities.

Played the Palmetto course and the course is in great shape. From tee boxes to green. Greens are in immaculate condition. Don't let these bad reviews talk you out of playing this course. Bag Drop area is awesome. It spoils you having those guys take your bags and you do nothing. You guys are amazing, Thank you. Pro shop staff was helpful and professional in every way. Pro shop has an abundance of gear to purchase. Cart girl was a little on the scarce side. Saw her once sitting in her cart chatting with her coworker at the hot dog stand on hole 5. How about driving around and selling drinks.

Played there Thursday, July 9. The greens were TERRIBLE. I paid $250 for four players. I asked for some reasonable green fees adjustment but can you believe that they said that they weren't able to adjust my fees? The greens are SLOW and actually have huge crater holes on them. I would definitely avoid playing there. I'll never play Myrtlewood again.

I recently had the pleasure of playing both courses at Myrtlewood Golf Club in Myrtle Beach, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The club features two distinct 18-hole layouts: Palmetto and PineHills, each offering its own unique charm. The Palmetto Course stood out with its scenic beauty, especially the 18th hole that runs alongside the Intracoastal Waterway. The fairways were lush and forgiving, making it an enjoyable round even for mid-handicappers like myself. Water comes into play on 11 holes, adding just the right amount of challenge without being overly punitive.  On the other hand, the PineHills Course, designed by Arthur Hills, offered a more strategic game. The layout requires thoughtful shot placement, and the rolling fairways and well-placed bunkers kept me engaged throughout the round. The course was in excellent condition, with smooth greens that rolled true.  The facilities at Myrtlewood are top-notch. The clubhouse is welcoming, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. I also appreciated the on-course amenities, including the well-maintained carts and convenient snack bars.  Overall, Myrtlewood Golf Club offers a delightful golfing experience with two well-maintained courses that cater to a variety of skill levels. Whether you’re looking for a scenic round along the water or a strategic challenge, Myrtlewood has something to offer. I look forward to returning on my next trip to Myrtle Beach.

Staff was very friendly and informative. They were having an issue with there greens and let us know ahead of time. We played the Palmetto course which is challenging but still a good course for the amateur golfer.
George Oliver
Loved the course, hated the greens. Greens were burnt and no mention when we made the tee times. If they had, we would have played somewhere else.

We played both the Pinehills and Palmetto course on the same day. Pinehills was in much better shape than Palmetto, especially on the greens. I prefer the conditions of Pinehills but the layout of Palmetto. Greens were not rolling fast on either course. 18th on Palmetto is a wonderful finishing hole on the waterway, especially with the sun setting behind you.
Doug Rockich
Waiting in line and guy behind counter told people that they were in front of us he was sorry about the greens and charge them 39. I ask about that rate and ask could he give us the difference in price and he didn't . I told him we paid 155 for 2 . His response was, I can charge you two hundred. Greens were unplayable! Never ever play there again! Thanks jerk!
