Rating 74.2

For years, the King's North Course at Myrtle Beach National has been the most requested and best recognized golf course on the Grand Strand. The par-3, third hole with its island green and South Carolina-shaped sandtraps has become the signature hole for Myrtle Beach. King's North features some dramatic and unique holes. The par-5 sixth hole is nicknamed "The Gambler" and features an unusual island fairway which offers golfers a risk-reward short-cut to the green for a chance at eagle.The 18th hole, nicknamed "The Bull's-eye" by Golf Magazine, is a sight to behold. More than 40 sandtraps guard either side of the fairway and the green reaches out into a lake offering, at times, a very tempting pin placement.

Very Enjoyable

First time playing Kings North and I’m glad I did. Conditions were very good…the greens were smooth, the fairways were firm and not at all bare. I wish the greens held approach shots a little better but nothing to complain about. The pro shop was nice and the staff was also. A nice experience overall.

Bucket and tools on green

Was SUPER excited to play this course. Had an 8:12 tee time and we were the first group out on the back 9 of the kings course. Course was overall in good shape, greens were quick and rolled nice. Some tee boxes could be in better shape, and some crabgrass in the rough but not a huge deal, just thought for the price could have been a little more well kept in rough and between holes. We come to a par 3 and there was a bucket 10 feet from the hole and a few large tools sitting in the green. When you pay over $100 for a round of golf you expect to avoid things like that and for the entire course to be immaculate. I’ve played nicer course for $50 back in Ohio.

Not worth the money

A beautifully difficult course, but getting old and a bit tired. The greens were quite slow. I particularly didn’t care for all the maintenance people out and about who didn’t seem to care if they were disturbing anyone or not. There was a short par four where the golfer had only one option of direction to tee off, yet 150 yards in front of the tee was a blower going back & forth in front of us….then when we wers green side, he was near us again going back & forth as though we weren’t there. The course value in my opinion was about half what the green fee was.

Great Course BUT...

While the course itself was great, I have an issue with the staff/rangers. The staff allowed a twosome in front of us to tee off with only one set of clubs. They were extremely slow since each of them also took about 3-4 swings before they made contact with the ball (and the swings were clearly not practice swings). On at least 2 holes I saw a ranger chatting with them, laughing and smiling instead of letting them know they were MANY holes behind the group in front of them For such an excellent course I cannot understand how they could let this twosome even on the course, especially during the morning prime time.
