Public times come through the club's own tee sheet, GolfNow (added to GolfNow's Myrtle Beach lineup in 2026) and package operators. |

Local knowledge
- Public inventory is limited because members come first; book early and expect Saturday to sell out (it did for Nov 7, 2026 on GolfNow).
- Some GolfNow times are resold by GolfNow rather than the club, with refunds only if cancelled 24+ hours ahead.
