TPC Myrtle Beach, designed by Tom Fazio with assistance from Lanny Wadkins, opened in 1999 as the Grand Strand's 100th golf course.

Set south of Myrtle Beach in Murrells Inlet, the golf course features an abundance of bird life and natural wetlands, which come into play on 11 holes and pine trees frame many of the holes. Tom Watson proclaimed TPC Myrtle Beach an "interesting challenge and a quiet walk in nature."

Not what I expected

I thought this course was supposed to be ranked in the top 5 at Myrtle Beach. I couldn't see how! For the greens fees we paid, I certainly expected much better. Yes, the greens were punched, but TWO weeks ago. They looked like they had been punched last night. And there was no grass and washed out places on the greens. There was very little grass in the fairways in spite of being told that they overseed. Took me 9 holes to figure out how to hit approach shots off of dirt as I had never done that before. The course layout is challenging but fun. The staff was very nice and accommodating. It was scorching hot and they gave us cool ice towels at the END of the round. I could have used one at the turn, not at the end when I'm heading to the air conditioning anyway.

Decent experience

I enjoyed this round. Nice lay out. Recommend staying on the left side of most fairways as low hanging trees seemed to show up on the right even if in fairway. Small gator walked across fairway to about 15 feet from my ball. Greens punched a couple of weeks ago so a little rough. Staff did warn us. They were nice and said if we got started and didn’t approve they would offer rain check. Probably should have been discounted some. I would play again though.

Nice, but not $130 nice

Played earlier this week while on vacation in Myrtle. I’ll start off by saying that the staff, clubhouse, and practice area are top notch. The course itself was just okay. Not what I expected for a TPC course. Nice layout but nothing special, fairways and geeens were in just okay shape. Cart path only on several holes made for a brutal 5 hour plus round. It’s a decent course but definitely not worth $130. I felt like I paid for the TPC name rather than the course itself. I probably won’t return.

Poor course conditions. Staff are jerks

It was in all honesty maybe the 3rd best of the 6 courses in myrtle we played as far as condition. When you take into account they made us pay for 18 and would only let us play 9, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. It is a black eye to the TPC name

Awful Staff, pretty much an average municipal course

Their grounds were OK, really you're just paying for the TPC name. The worst by far of the TPC courses I've played and the worst course we played on our myrtle beach weekend.

Also the staff don't give a crap about the customers, once you pay even if it's a wrong transaction they won't correct it. They pretty much stole $50 from everyone in my group

Living off the TPC name

The layout/design here is very good, but the conditions leave a lot to be desired. The course was soaked, yet it has rained only once in Myrtle Beach over the last 10 days or so (and not since mid last week). Reading some previous reviews, it seems they have an issue with the sprinkler system. I honestly thought the grounds crew left the sprinklers running too long while out on the course today, it was that wet. As a result, no roll on the fairways.

The greens were average in every sense of the word. Some better than others but the general theme was SLOW. They looked faster than they ran. Smooth for the most part, but you really had to hammer putts to get them to the hole. For a TPC course, I'd expect better. Probably running an 8 on the stimp if I had to guess. Fine for a public course, but not for what is supposed to be a top notch resort style course.

All in all, a very average course. The maintenance should be far better than it is, but it's not bad if you can play here for a fair price. Anything more than $70 is too much for this course in its current condition.

Great Course

We played the course after a couple inches of rain the night before so it was a bit damp but the greens hold up very well. Greens are fast and are in very good condition. The course is a great layout with some challenging holes, but for the most part the course is very fair and a fun course to play without too many stressful tee shots. The greens are pretty well protected with bunkers but you can be rewarded with hitting fairways and greens. Great clubhouse and practice facilities before the round. Would definitely play the course again and recommend to any golfer in the MB area.

NICE ROUND

Greens, tee boxes, fairways in good shape. The course has good layout and carts have GPS. The man working the desk in pro shop ignored us while he talked on the phone for over 5 minutes and after we asked to play as a twosome, then proceeded to INFORM us that we would definitely be playing with others even with the COVID and with few people around. The starter took the bad taste out of our mouth as soon as we checked in with him.by informing us we would be alone as there was few left to tee off. A good experience even with the A HOLE working the desk.

Beautiful Course

One of the top courses to play in Myrtle Beach. Course conditions were in great shape and the layout is fun. I know it’s hard to find courses to play in the area due to there being so many but this one should definitely be on the list.

Outstanding staff

The course is always in top notch shape as one might expect from a TPC course. However, the staff, especially the starter, went above and beyond. The course was experiencing a malfunction in the sprinkler system and were going off throughout the round and was very annoying to try to play around them and a few times got a good soaking. The starter came over to us on the 18th hole and was very apologetic and presented us with a full 18 hole raincheck. That gesture was totally unexpected but very much appreciated. You guys take customer service seriously and you showed it. Well done guys!!!!!
