Heritage Golf Club — Local services in South Carolina

The Heritage Club is all about gracious, tasteful living. Look at the houses along the course and you’ll know what I mean; graceful estates that exemplify southern plantation living. Driving to the golf course you get the sense that you’re in store for something special.

At the Heritage Club, you can choose from 5 sets of tees that measure between 5,201 and 7,118 yards. Your level of enjoyment on this championship track will begin with your ability to choose the right set of tees. Bite off more than you can chew, and you’re in for a long day. The White Tees at 6,310 yards carry a course rating of 71.1 and a slope of 127 and provided a fitting challenge.

The front nine is predominantly woods and trees, and Maples (not the trees) does a great job of using trees to shape holes and many tee shots. It’s not uncommon to stand on the tee box and wonder what you’re going to do about that lone tree standing between you and that ideal tee shot. On the back nine, you’ll encounter more water – it comes into play on at least 5 holes. All holes culminate on large, well-undulated Champion Bermuda greens that are often guarded by water, trees and/or sand. The greens are in superb shape and roll true at a moderate pace. An abundance of flora and fauna can be seen as you make your way around the course including, crepe myrtles, azaleas alligators and bald eagles. But that’s nothing compared to the golf!

Last Word

The Heritage Club isn’t a course that lets you come out and just bomb away off the tee; you need to think your way around and hit placement shots if you want to score well. This is especially true on some of the doglegs where, if you hit it short or long of the dogleg, you’ll have no clear shot to the green. Like any Lowcountry golf course, Heritage Club has its share of sand and marsh carry shots, with mild elevation changes.

I’m told that the Heritage Club does over 65,000 rounds a year and in my mind, there are a couple of reasons why. First off, the golf course is incredible – well maintained, challenging and friendly. Secondly is the staff – always smiling, helpful and willing to answer any question. Thirdly, is the fact that your greens fee includes a breakfast buffet, lunch with a wide variety of options and two free beers or fountain drinks during or after your round. You can make a day of it!

As a west coaster, I've never played anything like Heritage before. With the big plantation clubhouse, the spanish moss trees surrounding the course, and the immaculate conditions, this place feels very unique, beautiful, and historical.

I was here for a tournament, and when I arrived here at sunrise and I will admit, at that hour, the combination of the misty air, the frost on the grass, and the plantation / clubhouse was reminiscent of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. 👻 The views throughout the course are very beautiful.

The practice greens and facilities are great, and the greens are perfectly rolled and very fast. Once I stepped onto the course, I noticed that the greens were not as fast as the practice greens, but I found myself playing a bit of defense with my putting / chipping because there are lots of areas where a bad lag putt can end up with the ball falling off the green altogether.

The course layout was challenging but fair, and there were lots of opportunities throughout the round to play with attitude - you can shape tee shots around trees and doglegs or you can back off and play conservatively. Lots of risk and reward moments.

Overall, I was impressed with the course, the facilities, and would play here again. It truly is like nowhere else I've...

Sadly Disappointed on a Great Myrtle Beach Course

12 of us Played it April 28th I’ve played it many times in previous years, but this year we were very disappointed in the course conditions.

High season in Myrtle, (meaning we paid top $$$ to play) yet the greens were recently aerated, and also in very bad condition. Not sure what has happened to the greens, but they were the worse I’ve ever played in the Myrtle area in April. Slow,,and inconsistent speeds, that were more like playing Plinko than putting. It was a hit the putt & hope type of day, as it wasn’t doing to stay on line.

Many bare spots, so obviously they’ve lost their greens. That happens, but a heads up should be given, and top $$$ shouldn’t be charged.

Beyond the conditions, pace of play was bad, as it took us 5:45 to play, and we waited on almost every shot.

Sad to post this, as Heritage has been a favourite of mine for years, but the conditions are so bad right now I felt the need to give a heads up. Wait until they can get their greens back before you give them top $$$. Golf Now currently shows rated of $131-189. Anything over $50 is a huge overspend considering the green conditions.

Here’s hoping they get the product back to the condition I’ve come to...
