Willbrook Plantation Golf Club

On vacation with friends and Willbrook Plantation was listed as a top 100 course for women so I booked via Myrtle Beach Network.

The website (and starter at course) made a point of saying there is water on 16 of the 18 holes but really it isn't in play very much from the red tees. Yes, there are holes with water and forced carries but a lot of the "water" is well off to the left or right of the fairways.
It's a very pretty course, it was in excellent condition considering the night before the course got 2 inches of rain (it was 90 degree except for one hole which was cart path only).

The staff was excellent and very friendly.

Course was a fair test for women from the red tees. The only hole that was really long was the 15th (Par5), 436 yards. It's long because the second shot is a forced carry over a marsh/tall grass area so for women that don't have a decent distance w/ driver they may need to layup.

A few tips:
(1) This was from the Pro at check-in. A lot of the holes have false fronts so it is good to club up and make sure your ball gets on the green. This was a great tip especially on a wet course with no roll.
(2) The 6th hole is the signature Island green, under 100 yards from red tees so not difficult to carry water but if you miss, miss right side of green (cart path side).

The reason I did not give a 5 start rating is because the carts were older with NO GPS and for prices close to $100 (a.m. tee time) I was surprised; and I asked if they had a yardage book and they "were out of them." So I just used my phone to see the layout of holes and had a range finder for yardages.

Also, yes, everyone was very friendly to us (women) but I didn't notice any other amenities that were like "wow, this is great for women." Not a negative but if you are advertising as "top 50 or 100 course for women," what does that actually mean?

Overall, I would play the course again just based on the layout of the course and enjoyment of playing it.

Everything was perfect from bag drop to staff. Tee to green was perfect. I drove 50 minutes to play here and wasn't disappointed. It was CPO from an early rain but the course drained very good. Greens were smooth. This was my 1st time playing here in about 5 years and I'll be back in the fall or definitely next Spring.

A beautiful course to play. From tee to green everything was in very good shape. Lots of history on this course. Saw a small alligator. Greens rolled very smooth. I look forward to playing here again in September. Pro shop and bag drop guys were very nice.

Busy Friday afternoon, but got around in 4 hrs. Many well-placed traps and numerous holes with water hazards. Greens were in good shape and rolled well.

Fast green, awesome fairways, good pace of play. Bring your camera and take some picture. Alligator on the course, just a very beautiful course

We selected Willbrook last minute and we’re pleased with the course. The course runs through the community which has a great feel and look. Greens were consistent and well maintained. Play was steady but slightly slower for my taste at 4hrs 20min.
Definitely would return in the future.

Highly recommend you play this beautiful course with all its history and nice lay out!
Hope to play it again soon.

Played after an overnight heavy rain. Except for the puddles in many of the bunkers, course was in good condition. As the other times I’ve played here, I had an enjoyable time.

Great layout, fairways were lush and full, greens were smooth and slick, running pretty quick, probably 10. Very friendly staff, it is a must play.

The course was in great shape, but the greens were smooth, quick, and very interesting to putt on.

The course was in great shape for late in the season and the staff were very friendly and insightful on how we should play the course. The pace was perfect and the greens held true throughout the course. We had a great time!

Would definitely play again. Fairways and greens were in really good shape. Willbrook splurges for extra cushion in the cart seats. Not required but nice to have.
