Course Report
TPC Myrtle Beach is the only Grand Strand course to earn a 5-star rating from Golf Digest and is recognized as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary for its environmental stewardship.
About
TPC Myrtle Beach, designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 1999, is a former Senior Tour venue offering players a tour-caliber experience with manicured fairways, strategic bunkering, and pristine lowcountry scenery. Rated as one of South Carolina’s top public courses, it boasts PGA Tour-quality facilities and challenging play for all skill levels.
Caddie Tip
Course management is vital, as water hazards come into play on 10 holes and visual intimidation can lure players into mistakes. Pay particular attention to shot selection on the finishing holes—on 18, favor the right side away from water and lay up if risk outweighs your confidence. Approach greens conservatively to avoid costly penalties.
The Main Challenge
The toughest test at TPC Myrtle Beach comes from its demanding tee shots and well-guarded greens, particularly on holes featuring water hazards and strategic bunkers. The closing stretch, especially holes 16 through 18, puts pressure on accuracy and course management, rewarding those with a thoughtful approach and precise execution.
The Good
Golfers consistently praise TPC Myrtle Beach for its top-tier conditioning, tour-quality greens, and challenging layout that tests every aspect of a player’s game. The facilities—from the spacious practice area to the elegant clubhouse—enhance the experience and showcase why it stands out among public courses in Myrtle Beach.
The Not So Good
Guests occasionally mention crowded tee sheets during peak season and slow pace of play as the main drawbacks. Some also wish for more variety in hole scenery across the back nine. Improving marsh drainage after heavy rain would further enhance playability.
Signature Hole:
#
18
The signature hole is the par-5 18th, stretching 538 yards and framed by a stately clubhouse. This risk-reward finisher tempts long hitters to go for the green in two, but water left and several right-side bunkers demand precise placement. The large, undulating green makes for a dramatic and memorable finish.
Clubhouse
The stately clubhouse offers an upscale pro shop, full-service restaurant and grill with panoramic course views, locker rooms, and banquet spaces for events. Guests can enjoy indoor and outdoor seating, on-course beverage service, and a comfortable lounge for relaxing before or after play.
Practice Facilities
TPC Myrtle Beach features a world-class practice complex, including a large driving range, multi-tiered putting green, and separate chipping and bunker areas. The facilities mirror those found at professional tournaments, allowing players of all levels to warm up and hone every aspect of their game before heading out.
