On the Grand Strand map: Little River to Pawleys Island

North Myrtle BeachBarefoot DyePar 72 · Slope 149 · From $95 · 26 minThe hardest and quietest of the four Barefoot courses, a true Pete Dye test behind the Dye Estates gate. Worth one round for a group of decent players; higher handicaps will enjoy the Norman or Love more.Myrtle BeachThe Dunes ClubPar 72 · Slope 148 · 15 minThe Grand Strand's classic: a 1948 Robert Trent Jones course that hosts a PGA Tour event. It is private, and guest times are limited and shrinking, so book Sunday to Thursday as early as you can and expect a top-end price.Pawleys IslandPawleys PlantationPar 72 · Slope 148 · From $200 · 42 minThe only Nicklaus design on the South Strand, with a run of marsh holes that are the highlight. Demanding from the back; most groups should play a set forward.LongsLong Bay ClubPar 72 · Slope 146 · From $82 · 39 minThe North Strand's Nicklaus course: big, mounded and penal, with a 146 slope from the tips and new TifEagle greens since 2023. Worth it for a group that wants a real test; play the white tees or it gets long fast. Some fall 2026 reviews note tired bunkers and paths.Murrells InletTPC Myrtle BeachPar 72 · Slope 146 · From $120 · 26 minThe headline public course on the south end: a Fazio design, often overseeded, with rates around $120 in fall. Splurge round for a group based in Murrells Inlet or Pawleys, and cheaper inside an FGI package.Little RiverGlen DornochPar 72 · Slope 145 · From $104 · 38 minThe North Strand's waterway course, with a closing stretch along the Intracoastal that is the reason to book it. Champion greens and a 145 slope from the back tees; play the forward sets unless your group is low single digits. Recent reviews flag uneven conditions, so check before a peak week.Myrtle BeachLegends · ParklandPar 72 · Slope 144 · 24 minThe most playable full-length Legends course and the most reviewed. A safe choice for a group staying at the Legends villas.North Myrtle BeachBarefoot FazioPar 71 · Slope 144 · From $95 · 26 minShorter than the others but the tightest tree-lined test at Barefoot. Good pick for a group that hits it straight more than long.North Myrtle BeachTidewaterPar 72 · Slope 144 · 38 minThe North Strand's best non-Barefoot course for scenery, with marsh and inlet holes and real teeth from the back. A strong splurge round for a Cherry Grove or North Myrtle base.GeorgetownWedgefieldPar 72 · Slope 144 · From $35 · 70 minA long, watery, inexpensive public course south of the Neck near Georgetown. Off the main board; worth it only for a South Strand group wanting a cheap extra round.Little RiverEagle NestPar 72 · Slope 143 · From $47 · 40 minAn old-school value course with a hard finish and fresh MiniVerde greens. A good budget round for groups staying at the north end.Myrtle BeachGrande Dunes ResortPar 72 · Slope 142 · From $175 · 16 minThe big, wide Intracoastal course in the city, with water views and length to spare from the back. One of the area's better resort rounds, priced toward the top end.Pawleys IslandFounders ClubPar 72 · Slope 142 · From $87 · 39 minA different look for the South Strand: sandy, open and windy rather than oaks and marsh. Reviews run lower than its neighbours on conditioning, so it fits as a value round in an FGI package.Myrtle BeachMan O' WarPar 72 · Slope 141 · From $137 · 33 minThe all-water course: island greens and lakeside holes all day. Fun and photogenic for a group, punishing for anyone who can't carry water.North Myrtle BeachBarefoot LovePar 72 · Slope 141 · From $95 · 26 minThe all-round favourite of the four: playable off the tee, interesting around the greens. The safe pick if your group only plays one Barefoot course.North Myrtle BeachBarefoot NormanPar 72 · Slope 141 · From $95 · 26 minThe friendliest Barefoot course and the one with the Intracoastal Waterway views. The easy choice for mixed-ability groups and couples.Myrtle BeachLegends · MoorlandPar 72 · Slope 140 · 25 minP.B. Dye's brute at Legends, with deep bunkers and wild greens. For low handicappers; higher handicaps will enjoy Parkland or Heathland more.ConwayShaftesbury GlenPar 72 · Slope 140 · From $128 · 36 minA strong, well-kept Clyde Johnston course (140 slope from the blues) that reviews well. Inland near Conway, so it suits groups staying in North Myrtle Beach or Carolina Forest rather than the South Strand.Murrells InletIndigo CreekPar 72 · Slope 140 · From $44 · 23 minA budget round at about $45-$55 in fall on a decent Byrd layout, but greens have drawn repeated complaints in 2026. Check recent reviews before committing a group.Myrtle BeachArrowheadPar 72 · Slope 139 · From $92 · 13 minTwenty-seven well-reviewed holes by the waterway at a fair price, a short hop from central Myrtle Beach. Good for groups wanting variety at one base.Myrtle BeachArcadian ShoresPar 72 · Slope 138 · From $91 · 17 minA solid 1970s Rees Jones layout at the north end of the city, usually priced below the big names. A sensible fill-in round for groups based on the north end of Myrtle Beach.CalabashCrow CreekPar 72 · Slope 138 · From $84 · 43 minA sound layout, but fall 2026 rates of $85-$125 are high for greens that recent reviews call patchy. Good to play if it comes in a package, otherwise not the first NC pick.Pawleys IslandCaledoniaPar 70 · Slope 138 · From $79 · 40 minThe South Strand's best-known public round: a short, beautiful Strantz par 70 under live oaks, finishing at the clubhouse porch. Not a long-hitter's test, and among the dearer tee times on the Strand in spring and fall; book it as the trip's splurge and pair it with True Blue.Pawleys IslandTrue BluePar 72 · Slope 138 · From $89 · 38 minStrantz's bigger, wilder sister to Caledonia: wide fairways, sand everywhere and greens with real movement. Most groups book the two as a pair; True Blue is usually the cheaper of the two and the tougher test.Pawleys IslandHeritage ClubPar 71 · Slope 138 · 43 minA handsome river plantation setting and some of the toughest greens on the Strand. Worth a slot for better players, but book it through a package and check recent reviews on conditions.Myrtle BeachPrestwickPar 72 · Slope 138 · From $59 · 14 minA Pete and P.B. Dye course that won both 2025 course-of-the-year awards, with fall public rates in the $80s to $100. Public times are limited, so book well ahead; a strong pick for groups staying in Surfside or south Myrtle Beach.Myrtle BeachMyrtlewood PalmettoPar 72 · Slope 137 · From $72 · 11 minCentral, well-kept and finishing along the waterway: a dependable mid-priced round minutes from most hotels.Myrtle BeachKing's NorthPar 72 · Slope 137 · From $129 · 19 minThe best known of the inland Palmer courses, freshly renovated with new TifEagle greens and still the Gambler island-fairway par 5. Priced at the top of the inland market; worth one round on a trip if the group wants a marquee name off 501.ConwayBurning RidgePar 72 · Slope 137 · From $46 · 16 minBudget locals' course on 501 near Conway. Fine for a cheap extra round; 2026 conditions reports were uneven.Little RiverRiver HillsPar 72 · Slope 136 · From $67 · 36 minA solid mid-priced Founders Group package course with fresh TifEagle greens (2022) and rebuilt bunkers (2023). Fair from the white tees, and an easy add for a group based in North Myrtle Beach or Little River.Pawleys IslandWillbrook PlantationPar 72 · Slope 136 · From $140 · 35 minThe friendliest of the Litchfield-area courses: pretty plantation setting, few forced carries, good for the higher handicappers in a group.ConwayWild Wing AvocetPar 72 · Slope 135 · From $80 · 22 minFreshly restored Brauer/Nelson course with a new clubhouse for fall 2026; one of the better-value tests on 501 if the renovation has settled in.Pawleys IslandTradition ClubPar 72 · Slope 135 · From $85 · 34 minA solid mid-priced Ron Garl round in the Litchfield cluster, wide off the tee with demanding greens. Reviews on conditioning are mixed, so treat it as a fill-in rather than a headliner.Murrells InletWachesaw EastPar 72 · Slope 135 · From $56 · 26 minA former LPGA venue with TifEagle greens and fall rates around $60. Good value for the quality, and handy for groups staying in Murrells Inlet or Garden City.Murrells Inlet · privateWachesaw PlantationPar 72 · Slope 135 · 30 minPrivate Fazio club; only reachable as a member's guest. Visitors should play Wachesaw East next door instead.Myrtle BeachPine LakesPar 70 · Slope 134 · From $91 · 10 minThe Granddaddy: Myrtle Beach's first course (1927), a short par-70 with a grand clubhouse and history to match. Worth one round for the setting, and easy to reach from anywhere in town.Pawleys IslandLitchfieldPar 72 · Slope 134 · From $61 · 36 minAn old-school, tree-lined Willard Byrd course that rewards straight driving. Usually priced below its Pawleys neighbours; a sensible value or replay round.Myrtle Beach · privateGrande Dunes MembersPar 71 · Slope 133 · 21 minPrivate Nick Price course in Grande Dunes. Unless a member brings you, or the Marina Inn confirms it still includes rounds here, plan around it.Myrtle BeachMyrtlewood PineHillsPar 72 · Slope 132 · From $60 · 11 minThe friendlier of Myrtlewood's two courses, central and well reviewed. Pair it with Palmetto for an easy 36 without moving the car.Myrtle BeachWorld TourPar 72 · Slope 132 · From $90 · 12 minA gimmick course with replica holes that first-timers enjoy and repeat visitors tend to skip. 2026 reviews describe tired conditions.LongsColonial ChartersPar 72 · Slope 132 · From $45 · 57 minA cheap, friendly, short course in Longs; fine for a value round or a high-handicap group, not a highlight. Conditions reviews are mixed.CalabashMeadowlandsPar 72 · Slope 132 · From $64 · 43 minOne of the best values over the line: well kept, well reviewed and steady at about $68 with fees in early November 2026. A safe middle round for any group.CalabashBrunswickPar 72 · Slope 132 · From $35 · 47 minA well-reviewed 27-hole plantation course on US 17 that usually costs less than the marquee NC names. Get a quote or package rate, since no current public rates are posted.Murrells InletInternational ClubPar 72 · Slope 132 · From $64 · 25 minA solid, fair Willard Byrd course among the marshes at about $65-$70 in fall. Good for mixed-ability groups based in Murrells Inlet.Myrtle BeachLegends · HeathlandPar 71 · Slope 131 · 24 minTom Doak's early links-style course: open, bunkered and different from anything else on the Strand. Pick it if the group wants a change from tree-lined resort golf.Pawleys IslandRiver ClubPar 72 · Slope 131 · From $120 · 37 minA watery, mid-priced Litchfield round that most groups enjoy; not a destination, but a dependable fourth or fifth course.North Myrtle BeachBeachwoodPar 72 · Slope 130 · From $52 · 28 minA plain, well-kept 1968 layout that won the 2026 local Course of the Year. A sensible value or replay round for a group staying in Crescent Beach or Windy Hill.Myrtle BeachWhispering PinesPar 72 · Slope 129 · 8 minThe city's own course by the airport: plain, busy and usually among the cheaper regulation rounds in town. Fine for a warm-up day or a snowbird regular game.LongsAberdeenPar 72 · Slope 128 · From $50 · 37 minA good-value Longs course on the Waccamaw River with plenty of water and fair ratings (128 from the back). A sensible fourth or fifth round on a North Strand trip. Check how many nines are open when you book.Myrtle BeachMBN WestPar 72 · Slope 126 · From $50 · 19 minForgiving, housing-free Palmer course that is usually the cheapest of the three at Myrtle Beach National. Fine for a budget round or a second round the same day.North Myrtle BeachAzalea SandsPar 72 · Slope 126 · From $35 · 28 minA cheap, easy North Myrtle Beach round under new ownership. Fine for a warm-up or a replay; not a reason to pick the area.Murrells InletBlackmoorPar 72 · Slope 126 · From $59 · 23 minGary Player's only Grand Strand course, a pleasant lowcountry layout at about $60-$80 in fall. Condition reports in 2026 are mixed, so treat it as a value round rather than a highlight.Myrtle BeachThe WizardPar 71 · Slope 125 · From $93 · 33 minEasier and less memorable than Man O' War next door. Fine as a second round at the same complex.Myrtle BeachMBN SouthCreekPar 72 · Slope 123 · From $59 · 19 minThe gentler sister at Myrtle Beach National: short, tight and usually cheaper than King's North. A good second-day or arrival round for a mixed group.Little RiverThe Valley at EastportPar 70 · Slope 121 · 34 minShort and forgiving (par 70, 121 slope from the back); a good warm-up or a round for high handicappers and couples, not for a group chasing the big names.Myrtle BeachAero Club (short)Par 54 · 8 minA short, lit par-3 course for an evening hit, a hangover round or the kids. Not a substitute for a real tee time.ConwayHackler (CCU)Par 72 · From $60 · 19 minUniversity-run budget course near Conway, mostly a locals' and student round; play it for price, not for the trip highlight.Sunset BeachThistlePar 71 · From $80 · 47 minThe best-reviewed course just over the NC line, with top-class conditioning and a big clubhouse. Pricing is dynamic, from about $85 in the afternoon to over $150 for fall weekend mornings.North Myrtle Beach · privateThe Surf ClubPar 72 · From $80 · 33 minA 1960 George Cobb private club near Cherry Grove. Worth a phone call if your group wants a classic tree-lined round, but don't plan a trip around getting on.Georgetown · privateDeBordieu Club56 minA private Pete Dye course in a gated beach colony at the south end of the Neck. Visitors cannot book it; only members' guests or qualifying DeBordieu renters may get on.Pawleys Island · privateThe Reserve37 minA private Greg Norman course in the Litchfield cluster; not playable on a trip unless you know a member or belong to a McConnell Golf club.Murrells InletTupelo BayPar 58 · From $24 · 19 minA short par-58 course with a range, for a warm-up or a beginner. Cheap, but not a trip round.
