Myrtle Beach National Golf Club - King's North Course

About
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.

The best course in MB National
Second time playing this course. Fun and nice layout. We paid 135$USD, which I find a bit high for the quality. Golf carts are a bit old and they would need some new ones. Some golf cart paths are broken/cracked and would need "some love". Otherwise, the course is presently in great shape. The greens are beautiful, but a bit slow when we compared it to other courses we played this week. Nice course and layout, I would be back, but be careful to the price you pay.
Lots of Fun
This is my 2nd time playing this course and I love it. The conditions were top notch again. The variety of holes especially on the front are really fun. Came within 4” of an albatross on “The Gambler”par 5. The greens ran as smooth as any I have played. I wish the starter was a bit happier than he showed today but hey, we can’t have it all.
Challenging but fun
A group of us in town randomly chose Kings North to play and glad we did. When we arrived it looked very busy. We were a little apprehensive, but there are 3 courses on property and it looked busier than it was. Bag drop was painless and clubs were on our cart by the time we checked in at the club house. Starter was very thorough in explaining the course and very helpful for us out of towners. As for the course itself, the layout was fantastic. It seemed like there was water on every hole. The greens were big but very undulating. They rolled pretty good for March. The only negative of the round is we often found our ball in the fairway and in an old divot or indentation. Not sure if it was because it was early in the season or what. In all the course was challenging but was a lot of fun.
Wow
Amazing layout- if you are in Myrtle add this to your must play
Great choice
First was greeted by Luc who noticed my Quebec licence and greeted me in French, a first in the two months here. Beautiful pro shop, with excellent service. Very nice grass range. Played the North, fairways were very good for early spring, love the grass, not the typical tight lie kind, so easy to make good contact on ball. Greens were perfect to putt, average speed, but firm on approach shots, so they did not hold well. Bunkers had nice sand, may a few up and downs. Glad I finally played here, it was on a bucket list of courses in the area.
You have to wait at every hole.
It’s a rather pricey place, but if they don’t manage the pace of play better, I honestly wouldn’t want to go back.
MB Kings North
Starter was great and friendly - gave us tips on the course which were very helpful. Course in great shape for this time of year. Front 9 re-done and back nine will be done in beginning mid-May. A lot of fun. Love the layout.
Premium price....Not premium condition or options.
Played in January. Course was in good condition, but not in the condition that you would expect for a premium course at a premium price.
The good: Bag drop guy was one of the friendliest and most helpful we have encountered.
Greens were very good and quite fast.
There were a lot of crews working on the bunkers and most of them were in very nice shape for this time of year..
The not so good: Fairways were just fair, lots of bare areas. Looks like they scrimped on
overseeding..
Could use some better direction signs to some hole.
We expected a better conditioned course for the price and the fact that it is considered one of the Premier courses in the area. Will not be in a hurry to return.
Excellent condition, staff was great.
Great, will return again. Fantasyic conditionand layout. . Just wish courses had rangers checking pace of play. Had to skip a hole, group ahead was at least 2 holes behind. Anyone behind them was constantly delayed.
Excellent Day of Winter Golf
King's North at Myrtle Beach National is definitely worth the price. Excellent layout...you gotta have ALL the shots. Course was in great shape considering the calendar. I'll put this one on my list for my next trip to Myrtle.
Wanted to play for years and finally did
Absolutely beautiful course. I can’t bring myself to pay summer tee times but we had perfect weather in December and a great deal on the tee times. Course was everything I hoped it would be. Great course and a great time!
Front 9 Renovations “Superb”
Great course will be fantastic when back 9 completed in 2025.
Terrible course management
Pace of play was awful. 3 hours front nine. Their fault. Jammed too many groups out without timing them
Enjoyable course
MBN - Kings North is a nice track. Starter allowed us to get out earlier than our scheduled tee time which allowed us to shoot through in well under 4 hours - a pleasant surprise. Only criticism is exceptionally slow greens.
Poor green conditions
The course layout is great but the greens are uncut and which leaves them being very slow. So slow that it ruins the experience.
Forgot to mention. Why does a premium course with premium pricing not had GPS??
