The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
An early Tom Fazio design (with a young Mike Strantz assisting) in a private gated community at Murrells Inlet, set on forested ground with elevation uncommon for the Lowcountry and a dramatic par-5 18th above the inlet.
Consistently praised
- Golfers praise Fazio's polished bunkering and the rolling, wooded terrain that gives more movement than a typical Strand site.
- The closing stretch, especially the par-5 18th set above Murrells Inlet, is a highlight reviewers remember.
Worth knowing
- It is a private club, so access is limited to members and guests, and a few middle holes feel more ordinary than the standouts.
Golfers recommend
- Seek a member connection or guest access for a quieter, upscale round.
- Note this is the private Club, distinct from the public Wachesaw East nearby; do not confuse the two when booking.
