The course was in perfect condition and the staff and starter were great. The layout of the course is its strength. Every hole is unique and memorable and not only challenging for a low handicapper, but very playable for the average player from the forward tees. Can’t believe I’d never played here before. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend this course.

It was our groups 25th annual trip to the Myrtle Beach area and we booked the East Coast 4 package which included a $100 gift card to be uses for food/beverage or in the pro shop.This was our groups 4th time playing the course and as we remembered, it was in terrific shape. The one black mark for the course...They would not accept the gift card in the grill/lounge though they are a member of the East Coast 4 package group.

Had a nice time playing here. Greens great shape, but hard to read. Fairways nicely overseeded for winter, and the traps actually had sand in them. I have always felt this is the better course then the sister course at Meadowlands. Only thing I really don't care for is the par 6 finishing hole. Overall a good experience, and would play again.

I booked a tee time as a single this morning. I arrived 30 minutes early and went to the practice green. I was to be paired up with a twosome at 1:00. The course was very busy so I went with the expectation of playing a 5 hour round. While I was waiting the starter sent out 2 twosomes and a threesome. At 1:00 the twosome I was to play with had paid but they were no where to be found. At 1:05, after my tee time, the starter sent out a threesome. There is no excuse for the starter to make me wait 30 minutes and he made me wait after my tee time passed. He could have put me with at least 3 different groups. This is not the way to treat customers. You never know who that customer might be and what they may have to offer you. I recently relocated to North Myrtle Beach. I could have become a regular here but I won't return. There are plenty of other great courses to play on the Grand Strand. I can't tolerate bad customer service.

By far the gem of the trip. Saw a lot of good reviews but when we got there it really exceeded my expectations. The greens were the best that we played all week 9.5 out of 10. Tee boxes 9.0 out of 10. The only thing I can really pick at were that the fairways were a little thin in some spots but that is really nitpicking 8.0 out of 10. Pro shop staff was excellent. Grill was very helpful. Outside staff was good. Overall a must play right now.

Fun and challenging course. #18 the par 6 is fun to play. Only complaint we had was that the course was very crowded and pace of play for the morning round was okay, but the afternoon replay was very slow. no rangers keeping the groups moving and we had to play 18 in the dark. Only other complaint is that they had no snack cart on the course. With it that slammed, seems like they would have had one running with the amount of play they had. The cart guy did apologize after the round about the slow play, but it was a little too late. I would definitely play here again.

Sand traps were in poor condition but that was due to the severe storms that hit the area a week earlier. Crews were working on traps. I will play again. One thing that would help is a course lay-out on score card or on tee box signs.

For my party is was a new course and we enjoyed the experience. The par 6 was a great challenge but we also enjoyed the entire course. we found it a little more forgiving which made it a good finishing round for our trip. They added a third with us who was an employee of the course. He was great and we really enjoyed playing along with him. Very friendly and helping by telling us best locations for shots to avoid hazards. Mike was the best.

This was my 3rd year coming to Myrtle Beach and to me this is one of the best maintained courses we have played. The layout was good and the overall conditions of the tees, fairways and greens was excellent. We played the course on 4/28 and our group didn't have enough good things to say about the course. The only issue we had all day was with the guy working in the ProShop during the late afternoon. A few of us wanted to replay another 9 holes but were told we couldn't because groups were coming through on both nines. It was 4:30 in the afternoon - we didn't see anyone coming back around to play the front. It seemed like he wasn't interested in stick around so he just wouldn't let us play another nine. In addition as were leaving he made some rude comments to the lady working the grill about our group. Other than this individual we found the rest of the staff to be extremely friendly.

This is a nice course and will play this again. The fairways were, for the most part, excellent. The greens were almost great but not quite. Only problem I had, and this is not the staff's fault, was the twosome I was paired with to make a threesome didn't want anyone to join them. The starter was very nice about it and let me tee off on 10 but ended up a single sandwhiched between 4 somes. In over 50 years of playing I never had this happen before. Made for a long lonely day but it was so nice a course it was a good day.

We played 13 rounds of golf this trip and Farmstead was one of the best. We are 8 to 18 handicappers and this course provided the opportunity for each of us to score well. Wide fairways, reasonably fast greens and a beautiful setting. We felt like we were the only players on a hidden gem of a course in the woods. Highly recommended. P.S.

Farmstead may have been the nicest course we played during our stay; however, the experience just wasn't as good as River Hills and Myrtlewood - Palmetto. The staff wasn't as inviting as the aforementioned locations. The course was extremely busy. In fact, the course decided to double tee each hole. Finally, the greens were recently aerated. The greens/fringe combination made it a very difficult day chipping. The greens were extremely hard and lighting fast, but the fringe was very soft and plush. If a chip shot hit the fringe, it was stopping immediately. The course is very open with some extremely wide fairways.

Very consistent, very smooth, not marked up at all and easy to repair ball markings. We will recommend your course to everyone we know. Thank you for making our day a memorable one.

We played this course last year and our group wanted to go back. This year, the consensus was that we would not be back. None of us liked the greens at all. They were cut short and were really fast.

Fairways and greens were great. Pro shop staff was great help, and got us squared away fast. We had a heavy rain just after starting the back nine, so we pulled off at the restroom building to wait it out. After the rain, we continued play, as we would at our home course. After about an hour, one of the marshals finally came around the course, and told us to pick up and leave. When we asked when the horn to close the course was blown, he was rude. We were playing with two locals who had played there several times before, and they were surprised at the way we were treated. They agreed that no horn was blown, or we would have all left the course. Turned an otherwise great course a little sour. We might play there again, but they need to do a better job of double teeing, they had someone teeing off on #1 when we made the turn for our back nine.

They ask you for $10 donation and you get coupons for stuff in and around MB, they tell you that you receive a FREE Wedge, not true, you have to pay $28 for shipping & handling.

I would suggest you avoid this course unless you are fine with a 5 hour plus round. Our group played the course on 3/15/2010. Overall the course was in good condition other than the greens being very hard. Pitch and run golf is required. While playing the first nine, the marshall advised us we were playing too fast (2 hour 10 minute pace). Later in the round we started experiencing a wait on each hole. After playing 9 holes, we discovered that there were 5 groups lined up on the tee. We experienced a 36-minute delay before we could start our second nine. The second nine was very slow. Be advised that the course allows fivesomes and when we inquired we were told by the staff that fivesomes do not slow the pace of play. We saw little very little concern for customer satisfaction. An employee of the course informed us that as long as we keep having 230 golfers a day we won't change anything.

The golf course was in excellent shape and it was the first time I had played there. I was in love with everything till we made the turn. I will NEVER play this course again unless theylearn how to run a club. When we finished the front 9 we had played it in 2 and half hours. IT took us another 3 and half hours to play the back 9 because of the way they booked tee times. They had groups just starting their round on the back 9 while groups were getting ready to finish on the back nine. At one point we had 5 groups on a PAR 3 THAT IS RIDICULOUS. Again great shape nice course poorly ran.

Wonderful course. The staff did a commendable job to get everyone out on the morning of 3/3/09 due to a significant overnight frost. They shotgun started everyone just after 10am.

sent people off 1 & 10 promoting slow play so they could put more golfers on golf course. for the first time in my life the starter told us we were playing to fast we needed to slow down. the grill room girl would not fix me a hot sandwich and we had to wait for 20 minutes to start on hole #1 which was our back nine I WILL NOT GO THERE AGAIN we played with 2 members and that was the only enjoyable aspect of the day. the 2 gentleman we played with told us that 2 weeks earlier they played with 2 other visiting golfers and it took 6 hours to play the round. never again

Very slow, did not realize that this course averages over 5 hours. Love the par 6! This was the best conditioned course we played all week.

Played Oct. 7, 2008: Sent people off 1 & 10, promoting slow play so they could put more golfers on the golf course. For the first time in my life, the starter told us we were playing too fast, (and that) we needed to slow down. The grill room girl would not fix me a hot sandwich and we had to wait for 20 minutes to start on hole #1, which was our back nine. I WILL NOT GO THERE AGAIN. We played with two members, and that was the only enjoyable aspect of the day. The two gentlemen we played with told us that two weeks earlier they played with two other visiting golfers, and it took six hours to play the round. Never again.

Played 3, 2008: The staff was tremendous. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. From the bag drop to the pro shop to the starter, everyone was top-notch.
