Blackmoor Golf Club

Located along the banks of Prince Creek, Blackmoor Golf Club is Gary Player's only signature golf course on the Grand Strand and reflects his remarkable understanding and respect for the game.  Known for his ability to meet international standards, Mr. Player traveled 12 million miles to design and build Blackmoor on the historic Longwood Plantation, an antebellum rice plantation located in Murrells Inlet, SC.  The undulating 18-hole championship course takes advantage of the natural terrain and vistas inclusive of moss-laden oaks and abundant wildlife to create a rewarding experience that truly revitalizations the senses.

Blackmoor has been rated a top 100 Woman-Friendly Golf Course by Golf for Women Magazine, awarded 4 stars by Golf Digest’s “Places to Play,” and was voted the Myrtle Beach Golf Course of the Year in 2001.  Blackmoor offers an exceptional practice facility with a large putting green, sand bunker, and generous driving range tee to warm up before hitting the course.  The pro shop carries an extensive line of quality merchandise, equipment and accessories, and its grill room serves salads and sandwiches made fresh daily with a wide selection of beverages.  From the moment you arrive, the staff is dedicated to assist you in any way and provide for the best golf experience possible.

We have been traveling to Myrtle Beach to play golf the last week of March for no less than 24 years. How is Gem ever slipped our radar is beyond me. We played seven courses this week..I would gladly play this course every day for the week that I was downplaying. The condition is impeccable, the pace of play was perfect, and just an overall fantastic day with once again, the best conditions on the grand Strand

Went on our yearly golf trip. Played Blackmoor and have to say it was not in good shape. Greens were terrible and covered in sand. Not much grass on the fairways, no rough, etc. Our entire group was disappointed and requested that we not return. From a layout perspective, all the greens were tiny.

The staff is outstanding! From the bag guys to the pro shop to the starter, they were the friendliest our group found in the Myrtle area. The course was in great condition. The layout is fair and not punishing. You don't need many carries over water. Large landing areas for your drives but you have to have a good short game.

Course is not long, but you must place your ball in the right place in the fairways to score. I played with a golfer that knew the course well and that helped significantly.

I love playing this course. I'm not a long hitter and this course let's me consider different strategy's off the tee, mainly because a lot of the holes are dog legs. The course was in very good condition and the greens were fast and true. The staff has always been friendly and I have never had a bad experience here. I highly recommend it.

Played with my regular foursome in a Veteran's tournament at Blackmoor - conditions were terrific. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were well maintained. Plenty of doglegs. If you are playing here, take a look at the aerials to determine strategy.

Played 11/13/2017 - The customer service was excellent, from the Golf Cart Staff, Course Advisors/Starter to the Beverage Cart Staff, all were upbeat and helpful. Overall the course was in great shape. The greens were clean and quick, the sand traps swept and level, and the tee boxes, fairways and rough, all in neat condition. Overall, an enjoyable day, all due to an exception course and the thoughtful staff. Thanks Trent, our group had a great experience.

We enjoyed our first time at Blackmoor. My threesome has been playing courses across the grand strand for 12 years, and we found Blackmoor to be a good course with a couple of notable holes among a bunch of others that are like the rest of the area. The conditioning was good, but the staff were the real value: great people who wanted us to have a great time. When you compare that with the attractive fees, we found Blackmoor a very good value.

Thoroughly enjoyable day. From the moment we arrived at the bag drop we were made to feel welcome. The Pro shop, Grill and Starter took time out to talk to us and give us some background to the course and the lay out. A very tricky tight course and you had to make sure you were in the right position at the dog leg to get to the green. If I had one complaint it would be the lack of a 2nd ladies tee. My wife gave me a thorough beating off those forward tees and I ended up cooking the evening meal.

Course is in the best shape it has been in over the last 10 years. Tees were good and greens are a little slow but very consistent. The staff was great and helpful. The only downside was the lack of water coolers on the back nine. Water can be helpful on hot days.

Played Blackmoor for the first time today and I would say it is a must play! Granted I would not play there after large amounts of rain but if dry the course has great character with each hole being its own. The staff was very friendly and asking if they could do anything to make your experience more enjoyable. Overall the price point is awesome and a great time.

The course was saturated with water and very close to unplayable. Grass in fairways was 3+ inches and balls plugged and difficult to locate. Three in our party of six after front nine and received rain-checks for nine holes each. Three of us played through 13 and quit due to playing conditions. Would LOVE to come back and play when conditions more favorable. Layout excellent.
