Parkland NC Border Public
Crow Creek Golf Club
Rick Robbins built Crow Creek in 2000 just over the state line in Calabash, a par 72 running to 7,101 yards with bentgrass greens. It suits groups who want a well kept traditional layout without a punishing slope number.

What you are paying for at Crow Creek Golf Club
The pedigree
Rick Robbins
A Parkland layout that opened in 2000 and plays to a par of 72 over 7,101 yards.
The test
Slope 132
7,101 yards and a slope of 132. Enough teeth to be worth the tee time, fair enough that the whole group finishes with a card worth signing.
The greens
Bentgrass
Putting surfaces are Bentgrass. The practice ground carries a chipping green, a driving range and a putting green, so the speed is no surprise on the first green.
The verdict
4.4 out of 5
Across 519 reviews left by golfers who booked through us, 88% scored Crow Creek Golf Club four stars or better. None of it is edited and none of it is paid for.

The course
The golf at Crow Creek Golf Club
The numbers put Crow Creek in the middle of the difficulty conversation rather than at the top of it. Slope sits at 132 from a maximum of 7,101 yards, which means the back tees have real length but the trouble is not relentless. The course record of 63 by Jay McLuen tells you a good player who drives it well can get at it. The listed difficulty is Pro, so shorter hitters should move up rather than trying to prove something from the tips.
Conditioning is what reviewers talk about most. The recurring words across sampled reviews are course, greens, shape and condition, and the tone is usually positive. One golfer described outstanding greens and thick grass in the fairways and called it one of their favorites. Another summed it up as a great course in good condition. The bentgrass surfaces are the draw, and when they are healthy they are the reason people rebook. Staff and the food after the round also come up as reasons groups enjoy the day.
The honest picture is strong but not spotless. Across 533 reviews the average is 4.38, with 289 five star ratings and 181 four star ratings, so roughly nine in ten golfers came away happy. The remaining reviews are worth reading before you book. Forty five golfers gave three stars, eleven gave two and seven gave one. Pace of play was very slow for at least one group. Others caught the course at a bad moment: painted greens on one visit, large aeration plugs on another where the golfer felt the club had said otherwise. One reviewer found the layout open and short on interest, with no doglegs and thin grass on overwatered greens. Price came up too, with a golfer noting they have better courses at home for less than half the money. Bentgrass in a coastal climate has good weeks and bad weeks, so ask what the greens have been through recently before you commit a foursome to it.

Greens were extremely slow. Course condition was a touch above average. Cart attendants seemed to have poor attitudes. Rest of course staff were friendly.

Wow, great course, conditions superbe and beautiful greens, must play course.
Nice course, just enough water.
This was our second time playing Crow Creek. A great course; one of Myrtle Beach's best. However, this time, there were some ridiculous rules/procedures that ruined it for us. Due to this, we played the front nine and left. Virtually no flexibility with tee times, or anything else. We arrived early with no one in front of us, waited for other groups to arrive (they were late for their tee times), and ended up behind a senior couple who might have been the slowest players in the history of golf. While we had to wait to hit every shot, the group behind us was hitting into us on every hole. We became so frustrated we just packed up and left after the front nine. In addition, all employees seemed to have no ability to use their own judgement in relation to anything at the course. All seemed fearful of angering the owner?? We likely won't return to this course. I will say most employees were very nice people.
Great layout and very picturesque. Enjoyed this course very much as did my friends.
