Five Myrtle Beach Golf Courses That Got Dramatically Better in 2023

Long Bay Golf Club is outside the central zone of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina’s golf hub. But one name - Jack Nicklaus - typically outweighs the short driving distance to the Longs course.

Pawleys Plantation Golf and Country Club is consistently rated as a top course in South Carolina with honors from Golf Digest and national outlets

Tom Jackson’s layout at River Hills Golf and Country Club blended the location with the game, maybe unlike any other course around Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and is a hidden gem.

Named By Golf Digest and GOLF Magazine as one of the Top 10 New Public Courses in America for 2007, Leopard’s Chase Golf Club at Ocean Ridge Plantation is the fourth Big Cat in the family of felines. This par 72 course designed by Tim Cate is as scenic as it is enjoyable to play. You will encounter forced carries, some generous landing areas and dramatic elevation changes. As you travel the 18 holes, you will also notice a varied terrain accompanied by stunning natural vistas. The tee positions will accommodate all levels of play with equal risk and reward situations to allow you the best scoring opportunities. Save your delicate touch shots for the undulating L-93 Bent greens. The waterfall along #18 green will calm and relax you as you finish your round.

Blackmoor, Gary Player’s only Grand Strand signature course, is built on the historic Longwood Plantation, which parallels the Waccamaw River.
