Why groups book it

The pedigree

Arnold Palmer

A Beach Style layout that opened in 1975 and plays to a par of 72 over 6,866 yards.

The test

Slope 126

126 slope across 6,866 yards, which is the sort of card most of the group can post a real number on.

The greens

Mini Verde

Putting surfaces are Mini Verde. 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 course

The golf at Myrtle Beach National - West Course

West is one of the three courses at the Myrtle Beach National complex on National Drive, sharing the address and practice facilities with its sister layouts. The card reads par 72 across 18 holes, 6,866 yards at the longest, slope 126. Greens are Mini Verde, a bermudagrass strain that holds up through South Carolina summers and tends to run true when maintained well.

The difficulty rating on West is easy, which places it below the more demanding courses at the same facility. That matters when building a rotation. A slope of 126 from the back tees is moderate, and at under 6,900 yards the course does not demand length off the tee to score. Players who move forward a set will find it very manageable.

Practice facilities are the strongest argument for starting a trip here. West has a driving range, putting green, chipping green, and a practice bunker, the full set. Groups arriving stiff from a drive or a flight can get properly loose before the first tee rather than hitting a few wedges and hoping. The course carries 852 recorded reviews with an average of 4.16, a solid number over a large sample, though the detailed star breakdown and written review language are not available in our records for this layout. Treat the 4.16 as the reliable signal here.

Just over rated. Not the best shape. Service was sub par and borderline rude. Rides the sister course reputation

The course is challenging. We played this course on Sunday morning and the 12 players really enjoyed the course and the time we played.

Loved this course, very creative holes that present different challenges. Also can't wait for returning to play the Kings North course, it looked amazing.

Hard to believe that Southcreek is right beside the West Course. Totally different in style & condition. Really enjoyed playing this course. All of the personnel was pleasant and accommodating.

Course was struggling with dry weather and cool temps. Fairways were thin, tee boxes were beat up, but greens rolled great.

Tommy, Roanoke Rapids
May 2025

The course was very good even with the drought condition.

Ken, Poland
May 2025

Poorly maintained. Rough and fairway no difference many holes. Seems like all resources went to Kings North. Traps are mostly dirt. You can see the difference on #10 when a kings north hole runs next to. Wouldn’t recommend.

Gerald

Tee boxes and fairways were sparce to say the least. Greens were fine.

Jeff, Winfield

Mike, Vars

MBN always provides a good experience; however, the bag drop/loading clubs/getting started was very chaotic as they seemed understaffed out front.

John, Abingdon
March 2025

Nice course although I believe our foursome which included of two women and one 93 year old man who nearly shot his age was unfairly targeted by the ranger. We were not playing slowly. The group behind was the problem but because they were “bros” they got away with it. Sexism put a damper on an otherwise enjoyable day

Alice, New York

Nice course maybe we were there a little early in the season conditions were average

Kaplan, Berkley

Kenneth, Quarryville

It was a Saturday and we were put behind 2 men a young girl and a 6 or 7 year old that was playing?? Never seen that before on a Saturday at a 18 hole golf course? Nice course though
