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.

Very nice course
The fairways were in great shape great views greens were fast but a little rough overal good course to play
A great course in its day.
The greens were top dressed earlier in the week and there was not a marshall anywhere in sight to keep the pace of play moving.
beautiful course with many challenging holes but fun to play as well
I played this course Sunday morning between thunderstorms. was able to finish in less than 3hrs since I played by myself and the rainy weather meant fewer players.
I was surprised that you had to pay almost a 10% tax.with the quoted golf now rate.
The greens were just punched and did not get any rate reduction for that., not cool.
I'm glad I played it once now,but do not think it merits the high price for repeat play at same rate.
The 6th hole gambler was as advertised,challenging. I took a mulligan but got on edge of green in two..
Overall not as challenging as I thought, any one with a handicap under 22 can play well here.
The staff always does an outstanding job at MBN. Will return for many years to come.
Always a great job by the Team at MBN. Always a good experience when I play out there. Keep up the great job!!
The best course we played for the week.
I booked my vacation golf tee times via Golf Now and got great prices, including MBN - Kings North. A great layout with lots of water, waste bunkers, "Cousin It" grass, a few risk/reward designed holes and challenging greens with no shortages of ridges and undulations. This course was an absolute blast to play! I will play this course each and every time I find myself any where near Myrtle Beach.
A lot of water holes and challenging shots.
The course was in great condition. I found it very tough if you weren't on your game. A lot of water, but beautiful holes. The "Gambler" definitely challenges you to go for eagle, but be careful. You need two good shots to pull it off.
Good Course with a dismissive staff and long waits!
The Pro Shop staff was not very friendly. They were not rude but not friendly. We were sent to the first tee but no starter or ranger was present. When the group in front of us moved along we went to the tee and suddenly the starter came riding up and gave us the third degree and was very irritate with us for being at the tee without consulting him even though he was nowhere to be found at that time. The worst was that the course was hosting a tournament for local pros and neither their website or Golf Now mentioned it. At the famous "Gambler" hole their were 6 groups on one hole. 1 on the green. 1 in the fairway and 4 waiting at the tee. The total time to play 7 holes was 2 hrs and 45 minutes. We called the pro shop but nothing was done. We left very upset.
Great layout. No reflectors on pins for laser rangefinders and greens were very hard.
Great layout. No reflectors on pins for laser rangefinders and greens were very hard (i.e., don't count on spinning the ball back).
very playable for a variety of handicaps
Well maintained course that was playable 24 hours after a tropical storm blew through. greens were very good and consistent. a variety of tees allows the course to be very playable for a wide variation of handicaps. Beware that there is a lot of water to negotiate.
Amazing course, beautiful and challenging
The best course I have ever played. Challenging but playable. A must for all the players in MB. I would come back every time I go to MB.
Best Round of the Week
Played King's North...was suggested by uncle who lives in Myrtle Beach area, and was reluctant with the cost, but glad I went. Played best round of the week; course was in excellent condition...was challenging. Bag drop staff were cordial, but same could not be said at the grill. Highlight was successfully challenging the "Gambler," missing eagle by an inch. Would return to play other courses.
Awesome Time
Played the Kings North and had a Great Time. With Numerous Tee Boxes, this course can be played by all level of golfers. The course was great shape and the greens, even though recently air rated,were fast and true. The Bag Drop was overwhelmed due to the fact over 600 golfers were booked on the three courses, but they did a great job getting the golfers loaded onto carts and moving them toward the starters. Will play it again every chance I get.
Wonderful lay out
Too bad there was sans on the greens. The ball was not checking at all. That's the only problem.
Amazing
This was everything I was hoping for and more! I'm new to the game and this was my first trip to Myrtle Beach. This was by far my favorite course that I played throughout the week. (and we played some nice courses.) Everything about the course was brilliant. Had a rough round but still had a great time playing. I enjoyed the entire course set up and thought it was beautiful. I will be back to play this course again for certain!!!
FANTASTIC GOLF COURSE WITH PLENTY OF WATER
FANTASTIC COURSE WITH CHALLENGING APPROACH SHOTS OVER WATER TO NUMEROUS GREENS. A GREAT TEST OF GOLF ESPCIALLY THE 5TH HOLE (THE GAMBLER) STUNNING GOLF PAR 5.
Excellent course but challenging
Beautiful course. It requires you to use every club in the bag. If you are not a long hitter move up a tee box more than normal. This course plays longer than the yardage. Great course for the price
Back to nature.
Has to be one of the most beautiful courses I have played and I highly recommend spending the money for a fantastic adventure with nature.
