Black Bear Golf Club, located in Longs, recently earned a ranking of 8.0 from player/reviewers at Myrtle Beach Golf Insider, earning special recognition for the quality of its staff and course conditions, especially its pro shot and attendant staff.

Designed by Tom Jackson, Black Bear opened in 1989 as Myrtle West. It was renamed and updated in 2001. More improvements came in 2006, when the putting surfaces were regrassed with Champion Bermuda, one of the most durable and heat-tolerant grasses used on greens.

Black Bear is a rare resort/public golf course in that it is completely unencumbered by houses or condos, which tend to make one feel claustrophobic on other golf courses in the Myrtle Beach area. It measures some 6,787 yards from the longest of four sets of tees, a standard par-72 golf course with ten par fours, four par threes and four par fives. There are 23 lakes strewn about the golf course, with water coming into play on all but four holes. Its par fours vary greatly in length, from the 353-yard 14th to the 454-yard 17th, ensuring that players will use most every club in their bags over the course of a round. The signature hole is the 533-yard 18th a straightaway hole where players looking to reach the green in two will need to carry a lake and avoid two greenside bunkers as well.

Black Bear also has a full-service pro shop and practice facility with a grass driving range, putting green and chipping green with a practice bunker.

The greens are in very poor condition, lots of dead spots, disease or whatever. It should not have been open, except maybe for members. Cart paths are falling apart. Not recommended for package golfers!

The one thing I did like about this course was that there are no homes on the course, which really makes you feel secluded. The location itself is beautiful, and the course in general is a fun layout. The condition of the greens really made it difficult to fully enjoy the course though. They had recently been aerated, so no explanation needed there. They also had gotten some rain the night before, but not enough to affect them too much. In general the greens were just not in good shape. Everyone in our group agreed that they need to do a drastic overhaul of their greens.

This golf course would have been a good course if the greens where in any kind of playing condition. We had two groups and no one was happy

Slightly better than burning ridge. A real shame because it is a great layout. Pro shop blamed the conditions on the winter.

Greens very hard to read. Called because GPS took us to two different courses got there guy got our clubs checked in at desk went to starter about 4 mins late waited for about 10 mins since he didn't have score cards and then starter said you are very late. Almost asked for money back very very rude will not be returning. Will pay more money next time for a lot better course like Aberdeen

The greens were rough and choppy and seemed painted. The fairways were bad and the rough was burnt. There was also tons of swamp areas.

Very slow play and no ranger so it made for a 5 hour round.
