Why groups book it

What you are paying for at Burning Ridge Golf Club

The pedigree

Gene Hamm

A Traditional layout that opened in 1992 and plays to a par of 72 over 6,780 yards.

The test

Slope 137

6,780 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

Tif Eagle

Putting surfaces are Tif Eagle. The practice ground carries a chipping green, a driving range, a practice bunker and a putting green, so the speed is no surprise on the first green.

The verdict

4.0 out of 5

Across 613 reviews left by golfers who booked through us, 74% scored Burning Ridge Golf Club four stars or better. None of it is edited and none of it is paid for.

The course

The golf at Burning Ridge Golf Club

Gene Hamm laid the course out in 1980 and the traditional style shows in how it presents itself. Fairway corridors and green complexes are the parts reviewers talk about most, and the scorecard backs up the impression of a course that gives you room: par 72, 6,780 yards from the back, a slope of 137, and a difficulty rating of easy. That combination is worth reading carefully. The slope says there is enough trouble to punish a loose round from the tips, while the overall rating says most visiting golfers finish with a score they are content to write down.

The greens are Tif Eagle. Their condition is the single biggest variable in what people report. Across 626 reviews the average sits at 3.97, with 218 five-star and 242 four-star ratings, so the majority verdict is solidly positive. The 113 three-star, 34 two-star and 19 one-star reviews cluster around turf. Weather swings drive most of it: reviewers describe fairways left soft and mushy with grass missing after heavy rain, then bumpy greens and dry ground when the rain stops. One reviewer was told directly by the staff that the rain and dryness cycle had made the course hard to maintain. Another wrote off a round entirely because of thin fairway coverage.

The positive reports are just as consistent and often come from the same conditions. Golfers describe the layout holding up after a wet week, sometimes on cart path only restrictions, and still playing well. Pace of play draws praise rather than complaint, which is not something every Myrtle Beach course can claim in season, and staff comes up repeatedly as a strength. Several reviewers are repeat visitors who put Burning Ridge on every trip. The practice facility is complete for a course at this level, with a driving range, putting green, chipping green and a practice bunker, so it works as a warm-up stop as well as a round. The honest summary is a well-liked layout whose conditioning you should ask about before you book.

manuel
★★ ★★★ July 2025

They said they were having a hard time maintaining the course because of all the rain and then dryness and it was true because the fairways were very soft and mushy with a lot of grass missing. But the greens were very n..We also got lunch and 2 drinks so that was very nice.

John, LEBANON
★★★★★ June 2025

Very nice course with courteous people

Patrick, Basye

Chuck, Mebane

Greens were great but fairways were basically unplayable

Jeremy, Robbinsville
★★★ ★★ May 2025

The course condition was not very good with areas of the fairways and tees just dirt since the Bermuda grass had not sprouted yet. All other course we played had not iisues like this.

Steve, Madison
★ ★★★★ May 2025

This course should be closed. No grass at all and no sand in traps.

Debbie , Oak Lawn
★ ★★★★ May 2025

John, Concord twp
★ ★★★★ May 2025

Was told that Burning Ridge was in great shape from the gentleman in the pga superstore tee time kiosk. Course conditions were absolutely brutal.. fairways and rough burnt to crap.. greens were slow .. haven’t play anything like since I was young.. We were truly disappointed.

kaitlyne

The course was in terrible shape.

Jay, Columbia
★ ★★★★ May 2025

Course has a wonderful lay out, however, it was burnt out and is in terrible shape. I would not play here again.

Eric, Marysville
★★ ★★★ May 2025

Fairways had no grass.

Burbank, Melissa
★ ★★★★ May 2025

This course was almost unplayable. I have never see a course that literally had no grass on the tee boxes and fairways. The greens were fine oddly enough. I’ve played golf in MB for 35 years and have never seen a course in this bad of shape. I’m disappointed that you would have them on your list of courses to play. That’s almost like stealing from your customers. I’m not sure how much we paid to play it, but if it was more than $10 then we got taken advantage of. I read reviews before we played it and they were pretty consistent with what we saw, so I know this has been an ongoing issue for a while. I think you should have known this and therefore not use it for your customers.

Lackey, Williamston
★ ★★★★ May 2025

The worst course I’ve played in 10 years. They should have moved us to a different course.

Haynes, Columbia

Toner, Bright's Grove

Course OK, our least favourite. Golf staff were rushing us pre and post round it was the only time all week that we didn’t feel the starter staff valued our business. Restaurant and cart girl were great

Course was lush and green

Ernie , Somerset
★★★★ ★ October 2024

Great set up and layout. The fairways a d greens were in great condition. The only detractor was the 1st cut on most fairways were thick and a foot off the fairway had players taking the full 5 minutes to find balls or drop. Overwise, excellent course and will come back

Thomas, Richmond
★ ★★★★ October 2024

disgusting condition

Les, Thornhill
★★ ★★★ October 2024

over watered, extremely wet during drought conditions. Greens were inconsistent and rough at times

doug, williston
★★ ★★★ October 2024

The staff was great, the course was in terrible shape. I’ve never hit off dirt and sand in the fairways so much, and I’ve played some rough courses. The tee boxes were in terrible shape as well. Greens were ok, lot of burnt grass and dirt and sand patches to putt around.

Joshua, Edgewood
★★ ★★★ October 2024

Fairways were dry and full of hard pan son all fairway clubs bounced. Layout was tough but good.

Boyd, Grovetown
