Another challenging course designed by Arnold Palmer, the Myrtle Beach National West Golf Course takes is easy on those playing from the front tees, but for those wanting a challenge, the back tees present a completely different experience.

Designed by Palmer in conjunction with Francis Duane, the course opened in 1972 and is largely one forgiving of mistakes with wide fairways and large greens. A public course with a private course feel and amenities include a complete practice facility, lounge, snack bar, pro shop and more.
