Beachwood Golf Club — Attraction in North Myrtle Beach

I’d like to preface this review as coming from someone who works at a golf course, plays over 100 times a year, and is not too picky with what courses I play.

On Monday, we played a warmup round for the week. The course was in subpar shape, with torn up fairways and neglected areas. When we returned on Tuesday just looking to hit the range, the course seemed to be getting repaired. I asked if the entire course was under repair, simply curious if we could sneak a 9 in, and the response I got was insanely rude. “It’s all or nothing. You can’t have half open.” Given that I’ve played courses this month with a few holes closed and temporary tee boxes, I know that you can work around it. Even if the course can’t work around it, a nicer response would’ve been appreciated.

After hitting the range, we were sprayed on the putting green by water, ruining the glove on my bag. However, I honestly am grateful, as the grounds crew informed us that the rest of the sprinklers were set to hit us, giving us time to move away. It would’ve been nice for the pro shop to inform us of this. Finally, at 5:15, when I returned to the pro shop to grab another bucket and also lodge my complaint, it was closed-nearly 3 hours before their advertised time.

If you’re in Myrtle, I would avoid Beachwood at all costs. Even at the low price, I’d rather enjoy a night on the town than get treated like I was...

We arrived early for our tee time, but there were no carts available. It was me and my cousin, who has a prosthetic leg, and instead of showing any empathy or flexibility, we spent several minutes being told where we couldn’t drive carts. That meant, I had to carry both bags to the driving range and carry back. Also, my disabled companion had to walk both ways as well. Seeing someone with a prosthetic, I would’ve expected a little more courtesy and accommodation. We teed off about 10 minutes late because a group of 16 had been sent off ahead of us — understandable at first — but the round turned into a three-hour front nine. If the club decides to let a large group go off, I feel they owe it to their other patrons to keep them on pace. However, under the making of a 6 hour round, we instead decided to stop after 9 holes. When I mentioned the slow pace to the clubhouse, the response was simply, “We had a large group out there today.” It felt apathetic and summed up the entire experience — indifferent service from start to finish. Certainly were great at enforcing where carts could not be driven, but not so great at keeping the course on pace. Disappointing overall. With a little more awareness and hospitality, this could have been a completely...

Absolutely the best local course to start any golf outing in the Myrtle Beach area!! The course is extremely well maintained, the greens are great and the staff is probably the friendliest and helpful in the area! There are more picturesque and challenging courses for sure but this course is always our first course to play and is top of our list for a replay! Oh and the price is right!!

Not only is this my “go to” course to begin any golf outing, it is also where I go work on my game! Even better, Trevor Muffley, Director of Instruction , is a FANTASTIC teacher! Every other Pro that I have gone to (and there have been many!) only appear to listen and then proceed to try to “shoe horn” your swing into their system. Not so with Trevor!! I am an older golfer with some physical restrictions and can’t play the way I used to, in fact, I was concerned about my ability to ever be able play again! The first thing that Trevor did was sit down with me for about 20 minutes (not “on the clock”) and made sure he understood my goals and limitations. He then put together a completely personalized plan that has me back playing better than I was before my surgeries!! I even have more distance and accuracy with all...
