Formally known as Myrtle Beach National, Kings North Golf Course remains true to the vibrant history of Myrtle Beach National, while having a distinct personality all of its own.
In 1996, golfing legend Arnold Palmer decided it was time to revamp Myrtle Beach National. For nearly a year the golf course remained under construction. Over 400,000 cubic yards of dirt were brought in, lakes, bunkers and greens were all enlarged, and over 7000 plants were added to the landscaping, including 700 hardwood trees. In the end, Palmer created an outstanding course that was challenging and aesthetically beautiful. The very next year Kings North was voted the best golf course in South Carolina.
The 5th and 6th hole offer risk-reward shots, while the 18th hole has been nicknamed “Bull’s Eye” because it takes that much skill to keep your ball out of any of the 40 sand traps lining the fairway. The 12th hole (originally the 3rd) still sports the “SC” shaped sand traps.
You cannot completely appreciate how great the Kings North course is until you decide to play a round. Palmer’s design encourages golfers to play their best and test their skills. While it is not an impossible course to play, it is one that will require you to know what you are doing. Golfers who love to push their game to the next level will enjoy this course, there is no doubt.
Many events are held at the Kings North Golf Course throughout the year. A pro shop, restaurant and club house are all available for your convenience. You can even bring a junior golfer (16 and under) to play for free when they are accompanied by a paying adult. Kings North is an experience that every avid golfer must have when they visit Myrtle Beach.
