Pine Lakes Country Club

About Pine Lakes Country Club

This is Myrtle Beach's granddaddy course, and it wears that title with pride rather than relying on nostalgia. What sets Pine Lakes apart is its old-school character – you're playing through mature pine corridors that feel worlds away from the resort courses that dominate the Grand Strand. The routing has a classic, no-nonsense feel with strategic bunkering that rewards course management over pure distance. The fairways are generous enough to keep things enjoyable, but the greens have subtle breaks that reveal themselves only after you've played here a few times. At 4.6 stars from nearly a thousand reviews, Pine Lakes delivers exactly what you'd hope for from a public track with this much history – solid conditioning, fair pricing, and the kind of authentic golf experience that's becoming harder to find in Myrtle Beach. The fact that walking is allowed gives you another clue about the course's character; this place respects the traditional game. If you're looking for bells and whistles, go elsewhere, but if you want honest golf in a setting that feels like the Carolinas rather than a manufactured resort experience, Pine Lakes should be on your list.
