Why groups book it

What you are paying for at Arcadian Shores Golf Club

The pedigree

Rees Jones

A Traditional layout that opened in 1974 and plays to a par of 72 over 6,857 yards.

The test

Slope 137

6,857 yards and a slope of 137. Enough teeth to be worth the tee time, fair enough that the whole group finishes with a card worth signing.

The greens

Bermuda

Putting surfaces are Bermuda. The practice ground carries a driving range, so the speed is no surprise on the first green.

The verdict

3.8 out of 5

Across 854 reviews left by golfers who booked through us, 67% scored Arcadian Shores Golf Club four stars or better. None of it is edited and none of it is paid for.

The course

The golf at Arcadian Shores Golf Club

This is early Rees Jones work, five decades old, and the routing shows its era in a good way. Reviewers repeatedly describe the course as well laid out and enjoyable, with one calling it a nice layout that is not too hard and a good course to start a trip on. The slope of 137 is higher than the Medium difficulty rating suggests, so the trouble is there for anyone who wanders. The course record of 63 shows what is possible when the greens cooperate. Practice options are limited to a driving range, so there is no chipping or putting warm up before the first tee.

Address
710 Hilton Rd, Myrtle Beach, SC 29572

Location is part of the appeal. The Hilton Road address puts it minutes from where a lot of package groups stay, and reviewers mention easy access, a courteous bag drop and rounds starting on time. An on course refreshment cart was a pleasant surprise for one golfer. Staff friendliness is one of the strongest recurring themes, and several reviewers said they would return.

Conditioning is where the ratings split. Of 873 reviews the average is 3.83, with 343 four star ratings ahead of 243 five star, then 204 at three stars, 61 at two and 22 at one. Roughly a third of golfers came away less than enthusiastic. Dry weather is the common thread in the complaints. One reviewer found no grass in the fairway and dirt where the rough should be, plus greens that ran exceptionally slow. Another noted brown patches in the fairways but still rated the shape as good overall considering the lack of rain. Green speed and quality come up as slightly down from previous years for some, while one regular said the course was in the best shape they had seen in years of playing it. Slow groups ahead were a complaint for more than one reviewer, and carts here do not have GPS yardage, which surprised at least one visitor. Expect a solid, walkable in style parkland round rather than a resort showpiece.

Course conditions were unreal 10 out of 10. Staff was also a 10 out of 10.

Thompson, Sudbury
★★★★ ★ October 2026

Course is good, nice layout. We had a 5+ hour round, our impression was that there were too many groups on the course, and not enough time between groups teeing off.

Atwater, East Aurora

Course wasn’t maintained as others. Staff were good

Hoyer, Jefferson City
★ ★★★★ August 2026

Been coming to Arcadian Shores every year for the last 20+ years. Never in the best shape, but always great value. This year, course conditions were horrible, which is the reason I stopped playing other courses in the area (Myrtlewood, Barefoot, etc.), This may be the last time at Arcadian Shores as well since not only were conditions exceptionally bad, the also substantially raised the price.

Deming, Milledgeville

Cote, Amesbury
★★ ★★★ May 2025

Very poor course conditions. Greens were good but thats about it.

Donald
★★★★ ★ May 2025

Staff was fine. Course was very “abused”

Briles, Arnold
★ ★★★★ April 2025

Very disappointing. The marshals were ineffective if they even bothered to usher a group of 12 along. 6.5 hours to play 18 holes as the price we are paying is unacceptable.

Michael, Ottawa
★★★ ★★ April 2025

Had a 3 groups ahead who were together...they slowed the pace to the point that the round was unenjoyable....Marshall was asked to push them along as they were 2 holes behind the pace..nothing was done ...it made us not want to go back here again

Joe, Ottawa
★ ★★★★ April 2025

Horrible took six hours to play due to marshalls not doing their job. Never going there again.

Martin , Pakenham
★★★★ ★ April 2025

Good course if you stay in fairway.

Krupp, Clio
★★★ ★★ April 2025

Slow greens; hard to chip around greens.
