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

David
A very nice conditioned course. A lot of dogleg right blind holes but a fun course to play and had a resident allegator on the 4th hole..
David
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.
Roy
Very nice course. Tee boxes and fairways were excellent. Greens were ok, but could use some improvement.
John
Not in the best of shape. Greens and fairways were rough

Course in good condition considering the amount of rain the previous few days. Will definitely play again.
Bob
Fun, fair course. Large landing areas off the tee. Great staff the bag drop, pro shop and starter. They treat you like they are happy you are there. Course was in very good condition.
Bob
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.
Sean
I really like Blackmoor!
Beth
Loved it!!! Lot's of fun, shorter course but great strategic layouts.
Ward
This is our favorite course in the area. We play it every year. Rain led to cart path only conditions, but overall good experience.
Brenda
Love this course. The pro shop staff is very friendly and helpful.
John
Friendly, accommodating staff.Greens were very good. Overall course conditions good considering it’s over seeding time
Robert
Unfortunately didn't have my driver w me that day but decided to play the whites to make up the loss of yardage...worked out well. Course is fair yet challenging. Greens were still lil quick even though healing from last months aeration. Definitely coming back.

Luke
Excellent day. Great staff and course condition.
David
Good course
James
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.
Tony
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.
Earl
I loved the course layout.
John
Staff was friendly and helpful
Michael
Real nice course. Greens very smooth and consistent.
Mark
Not being an accomplished golfer, I appreciated the "fairness" of the course. I could enjoy my round without needing a ton of "local" knowledge. The Starter, course advisor, and club attendant were great. Also the young lady on the beverage cart was great too.
Al
Enjoyed course layout, challenging, you need to think twice about how to play each shot. Course was in great condition.
Michael
Course was in very nice shape. People are always friendly. Pace of play was extremely slow
Timothy
We enjoyed Blackmoor. The greens were in good shape, in fact the course was in good shape for the time of the year, early February. It was gonna for both the men in the group and the woman. She had a reasonable advantage!
Stacy
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.
JD
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.
Dave
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.
Timothy
The greens are the best they have ever been. Course was a little wet because of heavy rain the day before but still playable. Nice staff who helped us get out early and quick turn on the back nine.
Bryan
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.
Timothy
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.
Paul
The course advisors were quite entertaining!
Mark
Nice layout, great condition and friendly staff. Will always make this a stop when I come to this part of Myrtle Beach.
Beausoleillouise
This course is great shape. Since hurricane we have played many...none of them were as in good condition than Blackmoor. Greens perfects...all of them! A must play...nice design...Friendly staff. Marshall on the course to avoid slow play.
Tim
Course was in great shape and staff could not have been more friendly.
Art
Unfortunately it rained but the course was in good shape.
Scott
Had played it years ago. Considering the hurricane a few weeks ago it was in very good condition
Robert
Several dog legs, several unique holes with greens hidden or even a split fairway. Greens were in great shape.
Ted
Nice variety of holes. Some forced carries & a few water holes. Subtle breaks on the greens that makes them hard to read but rolled smooth. Staff was very nice.
Nicholas
Once again, the superintendent got the course in playable shape after the hurricane. Some parts of holes under water due to flooding.
Derek
Great greens despite moisture from hurricane. Lots of doglegs. Staff was top-notch.
Denis
Surprising course. Ttime of play. 5:45 is simply too much. The Marshall did nothing to sanction the group In front of us.
Keith
Great course looking forward to playing it again.
Carol
Blackmoor is a great golf course. Today was our first time to play it and we were pleasantly surprised. Loved using the new golfboards. They really added to the experience. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Can't wait to play again when we come back to Myrtle Beach next year.
Gary
Nice staff, wonderful course set up.
Gerald
Nothing too memorable either good or bad.

Great staff and great layout. Greens very good for being punched recently.

Great condition. Greens were a little thin. Ball rolled good.
David
Course was in great shape except for three or four greens that still haven't recovered from the heavy rains they experienced late last year. Enjoyed the course.
John
Received a rain check. The pro staff could not have been nicer.i will now play Blackmore every time I return to SC which is twice a year.
Tom
The greens were nice the staff was very helpful fairways were in good shape.
JJ
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.
James
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.
Kenneth
Tee times too close together. Felt rushed and crowded. Also, fairway grass far too high. Can't find the ball after a nice tee shot in the middle of the fairway. Frustrating!
