Rating 74.2

For years, the King's North Course at Myrtle Beach National has been the most requested and best recognized golf course on the Grand Strand. The par-3, third hole with its island green and South Carolina-shaped sandtraps has become the signature hole for Myrtle Beach. King's North features some dramatic and unique holes. The par-5 sixth hole is nicknamed "The Gambler" and features an unusual island fairway which offers golfers a risk-reward short-cut to the green for a chance at eagle.The 18th hole, nicknamed "The Bull's-eye" by Golf Magazine, is a sight to behold. More than 40 sandtraps guard either side of the fairway and the green reaches out into a lake offering, at times, a very tempting pin placement.

First time and Loved playing Kings North

Great course layout with good conditions. Many different hole designs with lots of water and bunkers. Better be straight and accurate. A fair test of golf for sure. Will be adding MB National Courses to my yearly trip.

Great Find

I had been searching for a course while on a weekend getaway for our 4-some. Two of us are pretty regular golfers and the other two not. We opted for King’s north due to its tee time availability and from calling around to several courses we did not have concern for course condition due to aerated fairways or greens (Note - they punch their course in the off season so in the prime time you don’t have to be concerned about it!)

All in all, we had a great time. There definitely are some challenging holes due to the layout of sand traps or water hazards, but hey, that’s part of the game!

All in all the condition was overall great. The greens rolled true, the fairways were very nice, there were only a handful of tee boxes that needed a little love.

The pace of play for 8 am was alright, not fast by any means, but not too too slow. We finished the round in about 4.5 maybe closing in on 5 hours. The group ahead of us was a tad slow, and the group behind us started to play up on us a few times - which we asked them to pump their breaks a little, and they complied.

My favorite MB golf course

Let me first say that I have visited Myrtle Beach for golf trips too many times to count over the past 40+ years. Without a doubt, King’s North at Myrtle Beach National remains my favorite course. Conditions are always excellent. This visit did not disappoint either. Lush fairways, well manicured greens and tee boxes made for a memorable experience.
While certainly not the top end of the premium golf courses available in the area, the value experience for the money is worth every dollar. Staff are friendly as well.
Can’t wait for another visit in the future and will definitely play multiple times if the schedule permits.

Good Course

Course was great, only comment is the greens were a little slow. Could’ve been a little bit more water available on the course or a more active cart girl, it was low 90’s no water or beverage cart from 11-17 holes.

Kings North

Gnats are non stop wherever you go at this place in the summer. Hard to focus over the ball. Although the few iconic holes are appealing to the eye, the value for money is so so. Much better places to play in the area at that price point

Awesome course

Sone challenging water holes that you can go for or take the easy route which maybe the right choice. But not for me I needed to go for it. Down here for 3 days and apparently we saved the best for last.

Overall very nice

Staff very friendly
Course in very good shape
Nice layout lots of water that comes into play

Only negatives- 1) several twosomes including me so pace was slow , lit of waiting shot to shot
2) front nine was cart path only due to something applied to the grass - that’s always a drag

But I’d play it agsin
