Willbrook Plantation Golf
It’s a course that renowned designer Dan Maples has often referred to as “one of my best” – and with good reason.
Set majestically in a stunning Lowcountry setting, Willbrook Plantation plays through a pair of plantations that date back as far as the 18th century. Historical markers dot the course amid a wide array of moss-draped oaks and abundant wildlife, Lowcountry marshes and wetlands.
Wide landing areas make Willbrook Plantation especially appealing for women; Golf for Women’s Magazine has featured it among its top 25 places to play in the United States. It has also been featured on national television shows, including Golf Channel’s “Road Trip Myrtle Beach,” to showcase its natural splendor and beauty. A well-appointed clubhouse offers a back porch that overlooks the 18th fairway and green and its surrounding nature – the perfect place to unwind from an unforgettable golfing experience.

Willbrook is a fantastic golf course! It was in excellent shape and rivals many higher priced courses in the area for a fraction of the price. Great staff and John the Starter is awesome.
James
Quality
George
My favorite course in the Low Country
Alexander
The course layout was nice with fairways and greens in good shape. The tee boxes were pretty bare and need some work. Pace of play was slow at just over 5 hours.
Matthew
Willbrook Plantation was a fantastic golf experience. Beautiful golf course that was great shape tee to green. I also enjoyed reading the several historical land marks throughout the property. Staff in the clubhouse and restaurant were great.
Brandon
Willbrook plantation was amazing. The green slopes were challenging and the history was fascinating
William
One of my favorites, in great conditions greens were quick and true. One of the most scenic courses on the Grand Strand.
Wayne
Very nice
Kip
Good shape, scenic and fun
William
One of my favorite designs in all of Myrtle Beach, scenic, playable with a great mix of holes that are challenging and those you can make birdie. Be happy making par on holes 1, 12, 14 &15. Take advantage of holes 3 and 8 on the front and the short par four 11th on the back. Greens rolled very good.

Our group really like the course was in good shape and pace of play was good. Some tough holes but for the most part player friendly if you put the ball in the correct place off the tee. Very scenic
William
One of my favorites, greens rolled fantastic--all consistent and felt like you could make some putts if you were making a good putting stroke. One of the most fun and scenic designs to play in my opinion

Our group enjoyed, first time playing here. Nice scenery
Richard
good shape has always been one of my favorites

Beautiful layout, always fun to play. Friendly staff.
Tom
We did not have a good experience at Willbrook on May 25. Course was overloaded with golfers, first tee had 30 golfers waiting to tee off, front 9 took over 3 hours to play, no rangers on course and pro shop staff was not interested in addressing any of these issues. Course was pretty well browned out due to no or inadequate watering.

Beautiful surroundings.
Chuck
Excellent course and great staff
Derrick
Very nice course. Well conditioned and an interesting layout.
Justin
Course was nice and the crew was courteous. Food was pricey.
Rob
Enjoyed the round. Course was mostly in good shape, considering it's not quite spring. Would appreciate more signage and a map on the scorecard showing bunkers and hazards.
Jim
Friendly, helpful staff and the course was in pretty good condition considering the massive amount of rain we've had recently. A very enjoyable round.
Thomas
Excellent .Best golf carts .Great layout. Course in good shape(very wet from all the rain) .Good lunch. Friendly staff
Rand

Powell
Excellent layout, enjoyed its playability

Good course to end the trip on
William
One of my favorite designs, very scenic every hole is different and fun to play. Course in good shape, greens rolled smooth, friendly staff...our foursome played in exactly 4 hours--great day
Jane
Challenging course but one of our favorites.
Brian
Course was in really good condition and love the layout/playability. Had previously booked a two-some 952am tee time. We were paired up at the course with another 2-some as would be expected on a friday. We did not tee off until 10:08am. No big deal I am on a golf course enjoying myself, doing what I love to do with my free time. We then proceeded to wait to hit on 90% of our shots finishing 9 holes in 2hrs 25min. Again no big deal the cart girl took care of us and we are on vacation. My friend and I stop in at turn for some food. The 2-some we were paired with head right to 10th tee. We get our stuff and head to 10th tee. At his point there are 5 other carts at the tee besides the 2 we are utilizing for our 4-some. The starter then proceeds to put on a show for those waiting to tee off on 10 which i assume is the first afternoon tee time groups. "Hurry up guys we to people waiting to get out'. We get our clubs proceed to tee, ONLY to find that the two guys we had been paired with had just, within seconds, teed off as they were waiting (shocker) for the fairway to clear. We then proceeded to wait on 90% of our shots on the back 9 on the way to a 4hr 48min round. To make it seem like it was us who were preventing these people from teeing off on time is ridiculous given what i just described. Left a very bad taste in our mouths for what is a nice course. Unfortunately with so much competition in the area this where I would presume we would not be treated like this we will not be returning.
Bob
Great layout. Very fair course that was in good condition. The environment is beautiful. The staff was very friendly and accomodating.
Ethan
Love the design, course and greens in excellent shape
Jack
Course was a little wet from all the rain recently, but played exceptionally well. Greens rolled excellent and fairways were nice. One of my favorite layouts. Nice mixture of holes and very scenic. A course everyone can enjoy.
Bryan
Booked on spur of the moment and got right on. Very friendly staff. Teed off 20 minutes early and finished in 3:01. Definitely play this course again
Jayson
Course in great condition. Had played it before but other members of my group had not. They really enjoyed it as well
Michael
Excellent service and course.
Rob
Great course and great staff at the pro shop. It rained at the outset but the course still played well in wet conditions. The greens were the best of any I played in three days.
Tom
Nice layout, good mixture of easier and challenging holes
Sam
Beautiful course with the live oaks, water, marshes and layout.
Brenda
Love this course.
Steve
Nice course! Greens were a little inconsistent - some had sand on them, but very nice otherwise.
Norman
Great experience
Gail
Beautiful course even in the rain ⛳️
Alex
Only played the front nine but enjoyed it very much. Course is in amazing shape for this time of year. Greens roll smooth and true. I will be back.
Robert
Great golf course and in excellent condition. Greens were a bit slow, but that rolled well. Being the in January and recent weather, I will allow a pass on the greens. This course has always been one of my favorites!
Arne
The course is great and my son visiting from Colorado loved it! Unfortunately we did have a problem at the turn. Anthony the starter meets us and says 2hrs for front nine that's great. I had to go to the pro shop to pay for the round as the computers were down earlier when we arrived. Took care of that and was getting hot dog when Anthony comes in and says "got to get to tee box right away"! Thought maybe he was joking but staff assured me he was not! Other than that the golf is great.
Henry
Great day to play, enjoyed the history and layout of this golf course
Jon
Really enjoyed playing Willbrook, looking forward to playing again soon. Great course excellent condition.
Peter
nice course, great layout. Fast greens
Eric
Like the course, staff very friendly. Course conditions very good considering recent weather
Lee
Always enjoy playing here, our group leaves it on our list every year. Very scenic and a great value
James
Our favorite course of the week. Beautiful very challenging course. You have to consider each tee shot with the dog legs and over hanging trees. Good tee shots give you reward you with an easy sit into the greens. The greens are pretty flat and roll true. It was my wife’s favorite course of the week also.
Mark
Nice layout. The course was in great condition. Several holes were challenging, but fair. My partner thought it was female-friendly, which is an important consideration as to where we play.
Ken
Liked the wildlife and the alligators. Rated it 3 of the 6 courses we played.
Dennis
Classic course in a beautiful setting. Nice mix of holes testing all the shots. Becoming a new favorite of mine
Paul
Played Willbrook several times and always enjoyed. I booked online and didn't know that they just aerated the greens, would have been nice to know before booking.
CHARLES
Excellent condition; beautiful layout; challenging holes. Will return
Lee
Great experience and a great day !!!
Charlie
Course design/layout and overall views were great. Friendly staff. Fairways and tee boxes in great condition and the course is very easy to play...but the greens were very uneven and bumpy. Still highly recommend.
Jeff
Awesome loved it ! You can hit your driver on every hole 🤗
Richard
Not in as good shape as a couple years ago. Many spots were very wet on the early holes (recent heavy rains) and many spots on the fairway were almost bare of grass. Staff was all very friendly and professional.
EDMUND
EXCELLENT! Living in Michigan, there is an abundance of courses for play, the major difference is, the cost and the environment. Retired from the ARMY, I belong to a course on a military installation, however, any opportunity to visit/play the courses in the Myrtle Beach area, is always most welcome. Courses are excellent and the staff/personnel/environment for play, are always user friendly. We shall return.
Tim
One of the best courses I have ever played in the Myrtle Beach area, and I've played nearly 50 over the years.
Matthew
Great course but pace of play was horrendous. 5 hour and 15 minute round: that needs to change moving forward
John
I was rained out and could not go to course for my rain check could you mail me my raincheck
Perry
Great experience. I love playing Willbrook! It is always in great shape. I find the course demanding for shot placement - if you aren't careful, you will end up with a tree blocking you or staring at at sandtrap guarding a tight pin placement.
Dan
Wonderful course. Challenging and in great shape.
GEORGE
every course and clubhouse was a 10, as well as the customer service that helped me book these beautiful courses
Jeffrey
Challenging layout. Nice aesthetic on course. Very picturesque holes. Greens rolled true. Would definitely come back. Expected better restaurant in clubhouse.
Jim
Best value I’ve had in a week of golf. A little more money but I enjoyed the conditions. Rarely patchy or inconsistent.
Jim
Sherril
My favourite course in Myrtle Beach area, I play it every time I visit. It is not the most manicured but it is so beautiful and it plays so well to my game.
Gregory
I’m a local buy the 3 guests and I loved the course. Greens were in great shape.
Michael
This course was the most challenging course we played.
Kyle
Awesome course and beautiful.
J
Excellent condition, a few rough areas, pleasant staff and restaurant service was outstanding.
Frank
Really nice course. Tight. Greens were outstanding
Bob
Played here before - never disappointed. Great layout - spring conditions better than expected
Keith
Willbrook has been in my groups course rotation going on 10 years and I have to say we were somewhat disappointed this year. More than a few of the greens were in rough shape, fairways weren’t as plush a large precious years and the starter was quite rude.
Ted
Great Course, Great Conditions, Great Staff & plenty of gators everywhere. Highly recommend playing here.
James
Beautiful environment. Good condition.
William
Terrific layout - fabulous greens. Tee boxes a little rough. Bunkers very challenging. Truly beautiful and very historic.
Jerome
Great starter, great conditions.
Gary
always a good experience at MBN!
Skip
The course was a great Layout. With excellent greens, we received a warm greeting and the staff was very helpful. The only issue was the pace of play which was slow to begin with and then out of nowhere at the turn we found a fivesome in front of us, what started as a really fun round into a waiting game, not fun.
Dave
Great looking golf course. Great conditions tricky.
Michael
Whenever we visit MB we always like to get in a round at Willbrook. A very interesting and playable course in beautiful surroundings. The course conditions were cart path only as the fairways were wet but not unplayable. The greens were in excellent shape and fairly quick. Overall it was once again a very satisfying experience.
Gary
Open fairways and great greens.
Normand
The most beautiful golf I've played in the last 2 weeks.
Mike
Great low country course.
Rich
Course is in great shape greens are excellent.
James
Course was in great shape staff was very helpful and friendly
David
tough course had plus 20 handicappers playing with me course was real tight for them.
Larry
Hole #6 island green was our favorite.
Tre
My favorite MB course. Love the oaks with most. Course is challenging, but fun to play. Only once did I opt out of using driver at tee
Don
Course holds water!!!! But nice easy layout. Not long and easy to make a novice golfer feel good!!!
Jeffrey
Beautiful course, trees and layout. Enjoyed the history of the plantation as you could read the signs about the property on certain holes. This is a challenging course that was fun to play!
Trip
Starter was fantastic and came around to check on pace of play. Very friendly and helpful
Jeanne
Great, interesting course!
Jason
love the track and conditions were great. Could of used a ranger on course since tee times were not exactly spaced adequately. Took close to 5 1/2 to play a course that isn't all that tough. Overall fantastic!!!
Gerald
Well maintained and staff courteous
Beverly
Willbrook is a great course to play. The course is in very good condition considering the adverse impact that the winter has had on all of the courses. The staff is wonderful......friendly, knowledgeable and very welcoming.
Thomas
Good test for seniors. Greens could be faster.
Bruce
The old trees are scenic The course was in fine shape.
Joseph
Challenging but fun course. In excellent condition. Looking forward to playing to again As I would play some holes/shots differently. Course knowledge would,have been nice but we played with another couple who also had not played it before. Very nice day.
Carol
Course was in great shape. Fairways were short, but not too short. Greens held shots and rolled true.
Michael
Very challenging yet fair.
Michael
Very nice course. Traditional design. Good experience.
Crawford
A really nice course in excellent condition. A fun experience.
Matthew
Great experience, beautiful course!!
Marcia
Really enjoyed the beautiful scenery at Willbrook- the different varieties of trees with the moss hanging from many of them. We golfed with a couple who lived on the course & were very helpful with information about the course & the area
John
Only played back nine due to rain. Rain check given for future play. Course is nice will play again
Jean
Love this Course...Good shape, beautiful layout
Michael
Old style course lots of trees very nice setting.Try to play it every time we go to MB
Julie
Did not feel helped as much as other courses. Late start due to weather and was told "we will let you know", when we asked for update.
Thomas
Great experience, great course
Phil
Green are very fast and in great shape. Great layout and can be very challenging at times. The wind was blowing and it was cold that made it tuff to score but it was fun. Great staff from the head Golf professional Kevin to the snack bar lady.
Jim
Nice course. Well groomed. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I will return to play another day.
Tony
My first time playing here. Course was in real nice shape for January and will definitely want to return. Course is challenging but doesn't beat you up greens were very nice and seemed to roll true. Very good experience highly recommend.
Don
In great condition especially for January. Our group of 8 locals had a great time. On the 18th hole, our foursome had 4 par putts. 3 about 15-20 feet and one about 10 feet. We all drained them, making for a memorable finish.
Michael
Very well maintained and staffed, a great value and I really appreciate their children's policy.
Dave
Course was in great shape, even though it is "Overseeding" time this time of year. Will be perfect once all the "Winter Grass" grows in. Very scenic holes.
JOHNNY
Fair and balance (local resident) A great Maple design but fair throughout even with the water holes. The course at this point in time is immaculate from tee boxes to greens. If you are on a golf package make certain to include this one as part of the outing. You will enjoy a scenic view, superb conditions and great staff...have fun!
Timothy
I have to say the course is in very good condition tee to green. My complaint is that I booked a threesome and they added a fourth to my group which is not uncommon but I was forced to share a cart with someone I didn't know. They told me they didn't have enough carts to give the other guy his own cart. This is not a comfortable position to be put into, so I will think again before booking at Willbrook. To me, they did not consider my feelings, they just were packing in as many players they could for the money. If you care more about the course than the customers, you will lose customers.
Charles
Lots of water on the front. Island green. Great course in great condition.
Mike(Oneida,NY)
This is a great layout. The course was in very good condition, a little dry from lack of rain. Unfortunately it was a very slow round, not really the course fault, it was just very busy. Great gal in the grill, super hot dogs.Play here often and will be back again.
JA
This was one of the last courses I played in the Primetime Founders Group but moving forward it will be one of the most frequent. We loved this course and as mid/high handicappers it was fair and it was in spectacular shape. This is one of my favorite courses down here now and we will be back very often.
Teresa
The course was in great shape with fast greens. Excellent service. I will definitely be back.
Laura
Very scenic course. Beautiful setting.
Ken
Tees, fairways and the green were very good on my visit. I had plenty of roll in the fairway and the green were of good speed. Starter let me play by myself and I got my round in under 3 hours with a stop after 9 holes.
Brenda
I love this course. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The stories that are told along various holes makes it unique. I rated the course condition as good and not excellent because this time of year they are reseeding and its almost end of season.
Dustin
Beautiful historic property, course was very eye appealing and in great condition. We will return.
Susan
Really enjoyed it. Good value, nice course.
Allen
Good.
Mark
Accommodated a single, really appreciated that.
Tim
The design of the course and the beautiful layout on a plantation with moss covered trees was picture perfect.
Beastlybill
Staff of starters need to get a clue. We were a twosome paired with another twosome. Teed off at 8:30. No one was in front of us for atleast two holes. At the seventh hole this ancient little Irish guy told us we needed to pick up the pace. He was totally off base. We were hitting from the whites. Two groups in back were threesomes with some hitting from the yellows. We played the front nine in two hours five minutes and the 18 in four hours 19 minutes. Well within reason. Tough crap if a threesome has to wait. Foursome has priority. It threw off our game for a couple holes until we realized we were within the proper time. Guess what Will room this is a resort course. Take your misplaced authority and stick it. Another time I was here and ten minutes before my tee time I was pressured to hurry because of twosomes they let out early but couldn't make the turn because of the double teeing. This is total BS. The starters and Marshalls need some lessons in etiquette. I told this to the golf pro and was given lip service that they would take to the Marshall. Check prior reviews and the staff here is full of themselves. Greens were not cut and shaggy. Minimal rain day before.
David
The course plays much longer than the indicated yardage. This is due to the fact that there are many subtle angles that reside within each hole. Failure to position the ball in the correct side of the fairway can make the course very difficult. Having said that, by locating the ball in the correct locations many greens provide that opportunity for a very fun and enjoyable afternoon of golf. I played with my wife and she was inside of 125 yards on many of the par 4 and par 5 holes hitting to the green in regulation. Hope this provides useful information for the women who are interested. There were a few burnt spots due to lack of rain. None of these impacted the play of anyone in our group.
Tony
Great course!
Stan
Every hole on the course is interesting. You really have to have a keen sense of managing your game and where to be for your next shot. Course management is very important.
Kevin
The course is very attractive. Holes are challenging, fair, and all are very different from one another.
Richard
Great, fantastic experience... but played like crap. My son and I will definitely play this course again. Loved seeing the 10 foot gator, glad my ball wasn't near him
Scott
(Liked the) greens
Steven
Willbrook Plantation was the best course we played out of the eight courses we played.
Linda
Extremely slow. 5 hrs and 45 min way too long.
Mark
The course overbooked. It took us almost 5 and a half hours to complete our round. That is unacceptable. Will not golf there again.
Steve
The golf course is in phenomenal shape. Highly recommend playing Willbrook!
Jon
Great all around experience. We really liked this course.
Brian
Always enjoyable
Andre
(Good) Staff
Patrick
Course was in excellent shape. Was interested to play another Dan Maples design (one of my favourites is his Oyster Bay) and was definitely not disappointed with Willbrook.
David
Course was great as always. One of my favorites. Didn't disappoint, highly recommend.
James
I have played this course many times and it is always in great condition.
Jim
Golf Course is in great shape. Greens are rolling nice. A must play if your in or around Pawleys Island.
Ed
Nice layout. Good conditions for time of year.
Michael
Best course in the southern tier. Takes a bit longer for this course to dry out. Greens in great shape.
James
Real nice tract -- great layout -- enjoyed -- target golf for sure .. I wish tree could talk -- a lot of history there .
Timothy
Had a great day. Pace was good, about 4 hours. Fairways were wet but we could still run the fairways, 90 degree rule. Overall nice shape, with only a few bare spots on the greens but it appears the maintenance was working with them to get them back to normal. Always a good spot with very nice scenery being a plantation course. We will return soon.
Gary
The course was in great shape. Played from the senior tees challenging but not overly difficult. Really makes you choose your club carefully. Plays 1-2 clubs longer probably due to the huge greens.
Benjamin
Course was in great shape and always enjoy playing this course when we visit Litchfield. Challenging course that requires accuracy off the tee and into the greens but visibly attractive with the Spanish moss off the trees and well shaded.
Sims
The entire staff - starter, attendants, course marshalls, grill - super friendly and professional! Beautiful course.
Dayrell
Played here before this is a special place with its History. Excellent service.
Nancy
A really pretty course, due to a lot of previous rain, was cart path only, we understand why but always feel taken advantage of when not told or notified ahead to choose to play under those conditions or inform us and a course 1/2 price discount, or carry bag and walk it and don't charge the cart fee. we respect the clubs course protection, but we met players due to health can't do all the walking, or driven a distance to far to decline and leave. Customer service should be job one.
Paul
Nice golf course. Food at the grill could be better.
Ron
The Course was in great condition, greens rolled true, fairways lush and fair and tee markers to match age and handicap of golfers. A good golfing experience for our foursome.
William
The best course I've played in the area. Bring all your clubs. You can bomb it and will need precise shots as well. Southern charm at its best.
Levi
Beautiful course. Of the three courses I played while visiting, this one by far was the best. Staff in the clubhouse were friendly, and even got a cigar for the back nine. The views were great, holes were challenging but not too difficult. I will be playing this one again when I am back. The greens had been plugged on the 11th, and by today were about 85% back, but still rolled nice. I would like to play it when they are at 100%, but I still had a great time.
Kristian
Really fun golf course!
Claude
Excellent.
Marcia
Course was in great condition and beautiful scenery as always. I played at 5:00 so didn't use the grill and starter wasn't there so I gave an n/a. Guy at the pro shop was super polite and friendly. Club has that beautiful old southern plantation charm. Always been one of my favorite places to play!
Rick
I enjoyed playing this course and I would play it again. The starter deserves special recognition as he quickly made a decision to start my wife and I on the 10th tee instead of playing behind a large group of 6 foursomes. His quick decision allowed us to finish in 3 hours rather than the 4 1/2 hours it would have taken if he had placed us on the 1st tee at our original tee time. My only issue with the course was the grass on the tees was little too high.
Phil
Very nice golf facility. Good layout and fun golf course to play. Golf course in very good condition considering the summer heat is playing havoc with some of the local courses. Willbrook is planning aeration of the greens on 6/9/15. In a couple of weeks this golf course will be playing as well as most of the other golf courses in the area. Very nice, professional staff and with a nice grill and Pro Shop. I would recommend this golf club to anyone.
Richard
Course design is outstanding and challenging. Course condition was not so great. Tees and fairways were spotty with respect to grass. Greens rolled fairly well but were bumpy in spots probably due to ball marks previous groups didn't fix.
Tim
I enjoyed the course. It was a fun layout. The historical markers were a nice touch. I would love to play it again on my next visit to Pawleys Island.
Brian
Very good.
Jack
My wife found the course enjoyable and woman friendly. It was the most beautiful day of the year so far.
John
Great traditional course design. No gimmicks or convoluted hole layouts. Very enjoyable for the higher handicap players in our foursome.
Beverly
It is our favorite of the area courses...love the natural surroundings.
Lora
Just a real nice experience being as it is built on a 1800 working plantation. Especially liked reading the plaques, very enlightening. Staff very friendly and helpful and welcoming. Our favorite course among all the nine games we played. Highly recommend playing here.
Roger
Great course.
Derek
Great experience and can see why it's rated so highly so would not hesitate to recommend it to friends.
Robert
Trees in the fairway are a problem. Your ball hits the Spanish moss and drops like a stone. Cold and windy on the back.
Philip
Love it now with GPS on the carts.
Mike
The course is challenging but quirky. Loved it and will play again.
Timothy
We had a nice day playing Willbrook. We had an afternoon tee time and got out a little early which is always nice. We saw a few gators and an Osprey diving for fish while were out. The course is in great shape at this time. GRASS on the greens is better than a lot of courses at this time of year. Pace of play was a little slow and no ranger in sight which took a little fun away because the group in front of us could not keep the pace. Overall it was a good experience.
Daniel
I wish I knew before hand that the club overbooked the day so they had to start on both the 10th and 1st tees. I was taking someone out for the first time so I thought getting the last tee time for the day would have been perfect but the course was packed. We stopped after 11 holes because the wait on each hole was too long. Will not play Hillbrook again because of this.
Jason
If you want a place filled with elders that have zero golf etiquette that make you wait and wait, this is the place for you. The people playing must be clueless or too old to be aware of their surroundings, maybe they should learn to give up golf or learn how to play ready golf.....
Michael
Very playable.
Blaise
Course was in great condition. For the novice player, the homes around the course were far enough away not to intimidate, but close enough to keep you aware of your ball striking to avoid wayward shots.
Thomas
Nice mixture of long and short, easier and more difficult holes. Beautifully maintained, surprisingly light play that afternoon.
David
Great course, I try to play it every time I'm in Myrtle Beach.
Gordon
Everything was perfect. My son played the white tees and I played the senior tees. The replay round was very reasonable and we walked which we like.
Robert
Fun layout! Challenging but not overly penal. Wide landing areas off the tee! Wives really enjoyed the course! Greens were shaggy and slow. Maybe in transition between seasons? Would definitely play again!
Robert
Everything was OK.
Anthony
The course was flawless. Pace of play was good and the staff was excellent. Definitely a course to visit on my return trip.
Donna
Outstanding
Debbie
Enjoyed playing. Starter had a great personality.
Mike
Enjoyed the whole experience
Bob
Starter could of been more friendly.
Richard
This course especially on back nine is surrounded by beautiful wildlife and settings. The course itself was in the best spring condition of any we played in MB
Richard
Alligators 4 separate holes. Too windy and wet to judge course properly.
Thomas
Like the setting.
James
Courteous service, beautiful course, well manicured, very fair, but challanging
Jeremy
Great course. Staff very friendly
David
Historic markers from original plantation were interesting and informative
Frank
Great layout and quite challenging. Very enjoyable Will return to play it again the next time I'm staying in Pawleys Island
Fredrick
THE SELECTION OF SHIRTS AND HATS IN THE CLUBHOUSE WAS GLARINGLY INDEQUATE. HTE FEW ITEMS AVAILABLE WERE UNATTRACTIVE. I CANNOT EVEN SPEAK TO THE FAIRNESS OF YOUR PRICING...AS I NEVER GOT THAT FAR.
Luc
Beautiful trees. Fair challenge. Greens were hard to put. Not the best deal in town.
Don
We played the gold tees because we didn't know the course. Some of us would like to come back and play the white tees. The course is beautiful!
Lagan
This golf course is in great shape. I like the layout and it is a fun golf course to play. Greens were nice speed and in good shape. Fun place to play with good friends and the people who work here were helpful and made you feel welcome. I'll play here again.
William
Nice layout, not crowded, course in great condition. Beer is way too expensive.
Jeffrey
Very nice course. Staff was helpful and informative. I would like to know ahead of time IF we will be paired-up with other golfers. Willbrook is a great golf experience.
Robert
Tee boxes need work. Lots of bare spots. Would have been nice to know greens were recently aerated.
David
Delightfully surprised by the positive experience, including all aspects above that I just rated. Only downfall was a crowded tee sheet, which made for a slow round. Nothing anyone could do as marshalls were out enforcing best they could. Would definitely return and recommend to any friends in the area.
Steve
It is a beautiful layout and has some challenging holes. The downside is speed of play. No marshall on the course.
Brian
The course layout is fabulous. The course is very playable and women friendly. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful.
Donald
Slow play. No ranger to keep pace of play steady. Group of seniors in front of us refuse to let us through the entire round. Had cart attendant and pro shop staff tell us that the beverage cart is on the course, although we never saw it the entire round. Course was in great shape but the staff needed more training. I'd play it again if they got new employees.
Ed
How much water came into play. I had two beginners with me and it affected the playability of the course for them
Carroll
Staff was great. I played years ago, and forgot that trouble was reachable from the tee on some holes after hitting a what looked like a good shot. All in all a good experience, inspite of my score.
Thomas
Staff was friendly and accommodating while providing rain check
Ray
Nice layout and beautiful setting ... horrid greens -- long, fuzzy, bumpy -- ruined a great day.
Udo
Great course in great shape.
Albert
Disappointed that my credit card was charged the full amount of the four tee times. And not just held so the four players could pay for their own tee times individually. So now I have to collect the cost of the tee times from everybody and carry all this cash around. Will not use this web site for tee times, and will let others know about it.
David
I have property in the Pawleys Island area and play the courses on a regular basis including Caledonia, River Club, Tradition and Reserve (with a member). Got rained out at River Club but thought their staff was particularly accommodating and courteous.
Daniel
Beautiful course, friendly staff. My family and I completely enjoyed the day. One of the best courses in MB. Even though the course is becoming better known, the staff is remaining extremely friendly and goes out of their way to make your day a wonderful experience.
Wayne
My experience to play this course with my 10-year-old son was just great. All the staff was helpful and courteous. Even though the course was very soggy from all the recent rains they still had the carts at 90 degrees to make the round enjoyable rather no carts on fairways.
Joe
The course came highly recommended to me by some local folks as well as very favorable online reviews; I booked a round. I was staying over an hour away. But, figured ... what the heck ... great course ... no problem. Well, right after I booked the round, I received my confirmation. I was informed of the greens and fairways being aerated. Obviously, this needs to be done. I just wish I would have known before I booked. In fairness to the course, the guy in the pro shop said he could get me on another course if I wanted. It was a nice course/layout. Thanks.
Steven
A wonderful experience ... great conditions, great service, a lot of unique holes - including a short island green. Not to mention the wildlife. Saw a few alligators. Definitely would go again.
Bill
We loved playing in Myrtle Beach. Of the 7 times we played 3 were at Willbrook. That's how much we liked it! We'll be back.
Paul
Greens were in excellent shape. Active marshaling of course so played in 4 hours on hottest day of year so far. Nice feature to have would be cold water towels to cool off with.
Rainer
Green and course conditions were AAA+.
Neal
Great set-up, lots of water & sand in play. Course was in great condition, despite recent rain.
Glenn
Second time we played Willbrook in a couple of years. Course conditions were not as good this time around. Carts not available at check in (<1 hr), and we did not like the long walk from the clubhouse to the range. We also found out why the ladies like this course so much ... < 4,800 yards! They play half the course and a group of them were on our rears all day while we waited on the group of guys in front of us. A test for the men, easy for women.
Janie
Beautiful course. Starter was crabby. He fussed at us for letting a twosome start before us when he was supposed to be in charge of who started.
Aaron
The course was great! This was our second time playing the the course and was not let down. Tee boxes were a little rough and greens were a little bumpy.
Don
Fun golf course - fair and in good condition. Staff was excellent with the unusual exception of the senior starter at the 1st tee box who seemed annoyed to be there. I will certainly be back.
Daniel
Very nice course, first time we played it. Will be back for sure.
Kent
Nice layout but a little dry around the edges. Drought ... yes, I know but other high end courses were fine..
Kevin
Took over 3 hours to play 9. Walked off. Not a ranger in sight.
Tom
Service was top-notch.
Darren
Very playable layout. Course is right here in front of you. Greens are quite sloped, so you may have some quick downhill putts! Good practice area. Greens on front 9 had been punched, but it did not effect the speed or roll of the ball. Greens were receptive & a fair speed. Tees & fairways were excellent. Pulled pork sandwich at the turn was great. Staff very accommodating & friendly. It is a favorite of our group & we will definitely play it again.
Jonathan
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, but at Willbrook Plantation they should allow carts in the fairway on 18th hole as it slows the finish quite a bit ...
Thomas
I sent out an e-mail to all my golf buddies that evening to tell them that this is a must-play.
George
Course condition good. Grill service not up to par for a top-ranked course.
William
Due to the fantastic azalea bloom, I felt it was a mini Augusta National. I loved the course!
Bob
Played here on 3/7/12 for the first time. I really enjoyed the course. The set-up offered sufficient challenges. Greens were very good. Definitely on the list to play again.
Andy
My group and I played 36 holes here Friday, March 16, 2012. On the very first tee, the first person to tee off decided to hit another shot off the tee because he wanted to loosen up. The starter came up to the tee box yelling at us that at this course only one tee shot is permitted and that if he wanted to hit another ball, the driving range was over there. He said we were already a group behind which is odd because we had to wait 10 minutes on the tee box for the golfers in front of us to get out of the way. We also had a tee time that we had already reserved there so we didn't have to worry about not being able to get a replay. We were told we would have to turn our carts in and then get another cart when we only had a few minutes between tee times. All in all, a very disappointing experience from all of the staff at Willbrook and we will not be playing there ever again.
Timothy
Nice staff. Course in typical early spring condition.
Steve
This is an excellent course which golfers at any level would be comfortable playing. Unfortunately, we had a late tee time and ended up behind several very slow groups, and were unable to finish our round.
Timothy
A very good course with very nice people running it. I will be back. I was a little hesitant to book after reading a few reviews about thin fairways. I found the fairways in good shape for February. I would say this is one of better courses of the 10 that I have played since January.
Frank
Continues to be one of my favorites on the entire East Coast and my favorite on my Myrtle Beach golf vacation. Great layout and in wonderful shape every time I play here. The staff is always exceptional from Kevin in the pro shop, to Moe on the bag drop; the staff is always helpful. I forgot my $560 range finder last time and Moe waved me down before I left the parking lot to get it to me. Most places you would never see that thing again ... but not @ Willbrook. I can't wait to go back again in May!
Louise
Great scenery. Historic plaque on old plantation. Nice course. Good shape. Things to see everywhere. Different setting to each hole. Warm and welcoming service. Fairways could be in better condition, however. Will come back for sure.
Robert
Had a 9 a.m. tee time booked in advance and was bumped because I was told the groups in front of me did not wish to play with someone they did not know. They were not even members. I watched two threesomes advance to the tee while I sat. Man in pro shop told me that everyone wins. Fortunately I was paired with a member who I enjoyed playing with. Great course! Every hole is a work of art. Will definitely play again.
Mary
This is a great layout, and in the past our experience has been with the course in excellent condition, but we were disappointed at the thin fairways, and many greens that were not up to the normal standard there. Always enjoy it there, but if we had known the current condition of the course, we would have opted to play TPC instead. No one mentioned anything about the course condition prior to our play. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great like it normally is, either.
Carl
Was cold and the course was wet, but was still good, considering the cold and wet fairways.
John
Nice course. Good staff. Good time.
Matt
Always an outstanding round of golf. Beautiful layout, superb staff, friendly grill. A thrill to play!
Bryan
Course was in very good condition.
Bill
Excellent course, a lot of fun to play.
Robert
We enjoyed the course despite the wet conditions. Would definitely play it again.
Jason
Really enjoyed the course. Tee boxes need to be more level, and sand down in the trap not all pushed up around the edges would help. Other than that had a great time. Got good tips on how to play the course and information wildlife etc. from Moe and Tom (I think that was their names). All staff was nice and the grill had good food despite what some reviews had said in the past. My buddies and I have decided that this will be a course we play every time we come down every 3 or 4 months. Thanks, Willbrook!
Kenneth
Great course with a great staff. There were two specific employees who made my experience even more enjoyable with their knowledge of the course, recommendations on how to play it, and just overall politeness. Thank Mo and Chow (hope I spelled that right). Great course one of my favorites on the EAST COAST!
Anthony
The winding trails were just beautiful along with all the history. We will be back! Thank you!
Marcel
Very good versus quality and price. Layout and course very nice. A typical plantation course.
Ron
Beautiful course. Historical signs on course made for great diversion from bad shots!
Andrea
Had a great time.
Vincent
It was in excellent shape and it was just a pretty course.
Christopher
Good condition ... not much character to the course.
Steven
Love this course. Fairways were in excellent shape. Unlike some other nearby courses, these greens were not like shag carpet and rolled good and smooth.
Nancy
One of the most beautiful courses I've played. Will definitely request to book it again.
Anthony
Good layout, good staff, great condition. Will be back.
Charles
The course was in great shape, the employees were very hospitable, but the schedule of players was not properly worked well. We were sent off the back 9 which was playing slowly, but the front 9 was SO VERY SLOW! We had to sometimes wait 15 to 20 minutes between shots which made it very difficult to get in a rhythm and it hurt my scoring. :(
Scott
Greens were extremely fast.
Jack
Everything was as expected. Beautiful landscape, tough but fair, everything rolled true. Definitely will be back to play again.
Bob
Excellent condition, beautiful greens. Staff treated us very well.
Steve
The staff made the golf enjoyable. The people on the desk and particularly behind the grill were outstanding. I thought more than one person could have helped in the grill during peak times.
Jay
The course was well maintained. The pace of play was good.
Brian
Willbrook was a great course, it has a lot of challenging holes but not too difficult for the average player ...
Dave
Outstanding course.
Judy
Loved the sand areas around the bulkheads.
Carol
The course provided an enjoyable golf experience. The oaks along the fairways were beautiful. The starter was a little less than charming but not rude. I found the fairways to be generous and there were several holes that allowed short hitters like myself to par. There were a couple of holes that forced me to lay up to the water because my tee shots weren't quite long enough to enable me to carry the water on my second shot, but once again, I am not a long hitter. This course was very pretty and very fair.
Steve
Played yesterday, found to be very enjoyable. Pace of play was fine and the course was in fine condition. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Will play again.
Anthony
Everything was great, from the staff to the ball-friendly trees.
Burt
Course in great condition and a must-play while in Pawleys Island. Great staff. Thanks.
Thomas
The staff and then greens are great!
Glenn
One of the best courses we have played in MB. The historic nature and quiet calmness made it an experience you will never forget. We will be back.
Joseph
The rough was tough but the course was in great shape. The grill staff was excellent.
James
Friendly staff -l oved the course. I played it the week before as well and shot 80. Brought all the guys to play it.
Harry
We love playing Willbrook. The course is usually in great shape, the staff is friendly and it is a very woman-friendly course, which my wife likes. We only played once on this trip and we picked Willbrook. Unfortunately it rained the night before and the fairways were really wet. However, we still enjoyed our round.
D.
Beautiful course, make sure to play from the correct tee for your handicap. Enjoy the outdoors.
Gary
1. Starter had an attitude problem. 2. The cross-over from 9 to 10 was unacceptable. After not waiting for anyone on the front 9, we had at least 30 minute wait to tee off on 10 and then wait every shot. Too many people!
Denise
Beautiful course with wide landing areas. Challenging, yet not too challenging. Only complaint: wish we had known about the bugs because we would have brought bug spray.
Robert
Very good course/condition; enjoyed the round this year.
Steve
Great course, great condition, FAST greens, friendly staff. A definite return trip.
Jimmy
Lots of water to make club selection essential. Loved hole number 11.
Rick
Played yesterday and course was very wet(cart paths only). Fortunately it was not busy so the round was not too slow. The course is one of my favorites, but the soggy conditions were less than enjoyable. Weather was great though. Nicest day since November.
Kristy
Beautiful setting. One of the prettiest courses I have played in Myrtle Beach.
Dickie
Wow, what a course! First visit for all 8 of us and we loved the place right from the start as we entered the parking lot at the bag drop! Southern hospitality at it's greatest! From the bag guys to the snack bar girls and the pro, this place was awesome! Course was beautiful and the holes were all different! Water, traps and turns made it a thinking man's place to score well. Greens were great and fairways were marked well. These guys want your business and made us feel wanted as guests, and that was nice. The pro was very helpful and comped us at the bar for a round of beers! We will now put this place on our list as a definite spot to play!
Amy
Very well maintained. Beautiful course. Nice, wide fairways.
Donald
Great course layout.
Alan
Course played long from the blue tees (it was wet). Greens and fairways were great. I don't like the double booking until 9:30; it should stop before 9:00. I had to wait 40 minutes to go off the back 9.
Buddy
My wife and I played several courses in the area in the time we were there. Of all the courses we played, Willbrook was the best track and in the best condition of any of them. We were impressed with the welcome we received from the pro shop to starters. We will definitely put Willbrook on our list for our next visit.
Donald
Course was in great shape. Landscaping at tees was very impressive. Pace of play was excellent with just a couple of waits on par 3's. Enjoyed playing Willbrook.
Brian
Very beautiful and enjoyable.
Bill
Short & simple. I LOVED it!
Jen
The most beautiful course I have ever played.
CX
Outstanding course - right up there with Caledonia.
Ann
Very woman-friendly. Thanks!
Dave
As usual, everything was excellent - the staff is the best on the Beach.
Tim
I enjoy the fun personalities of the staff like Taylor & Kevin.
Ed
Very nice and fairly difficult golf course.
Bonnie
Love the course; female friendly.
Michael
I really enjoyed the course the attendants were great but one of the starters gave another gentleman that we were paired up with an uncalled for hard time. This is my second favorite course right behind Caledonia and for the price Willbrook was a much better deal.
George
I was very impressed with this course. The grill staff was very helpful.
John
The starter was very helpful.
C.M.
Every person I talked to was great!
John
Played Willbrook this past Sunday and it was in fantastic shape. Golf staff from the starters to the pro shop are the best!
Cynthia
Very good course. Great condition this time of year.
Steve
Enjoyable round, beautiful course and I enjoyed the signage describing the history of the plantation. Greens were very dry yet the fairways were quite wet from the rain. Thought the greens would be in a bit better condition. Also, I thought the grill area was a little too basic and scaled back when compared to the course and clubhouse.
