This classic Arnold Palmer signature course opened in 1973, one of three Palmer designs at the Myrtle Beach National Golf Club. Arnold Palmer collaborated with partner Francis Duane to create a design that winds through a forest of Carolina pines, doglegs, fairway bunkers and natural hazards.
At a par 72 and 6,866 yards, the West Course, delivers plenty of challenge from the back tees, with numerous doglegs that require a well-placed tee shot. However, from the middle tees it is also considered forgiving on its wide fairways and spacious Mini Verde Ultra Dwarf Bermuda greens that are considered among the best on the Strand.
Myrtle Beach National is located off of Highway 501, between Myrtle Beach and Conway. With two other Palmer designs – SouthCreek and King’s North – Myrtle Beach National offers the perfect opportunity for a 36-hole day, so plan accordingly.
