The course
This 1974 Rees Jones design tests every part of your game with 64 creatively placed sand bunkers, natural lakes, and large Bermuda greens.
Arcadian Shores is a traditional par 72 that expects you to earn your score. The 64 bunkers are placed with purpose, natural lakes come into play, and the large Tifdwarf Bermuda greens put a premium on approach play and putting. Holes 2 and 18 were voted onto the area's Dream 18, which alone makes this a course worth adding to your lineup.
Despite the challenge, the course works for all golfers thanks to a selection of five tee boxes. The championship tees play 6,857 yards at a 73.2 rating and 137 slope, with men's tees at 6,055 and ladies' tees at 5,113, so every player in your group can find the right fit.

★Been coming to Arcadian Shores every year for the last 20+ years. Never in the best shape, but always great value. This year, course conditions were horrible, which is the reason I stopped playing other courses in the area (Myrtlewood, Barefoot, etc.), This may be the last time at Arcadian Shores as well since not only were conditions exceptionally bad, the also substantially raised the price.
★★★★★Great course to get my first round in.course was in pretty good shape considering lack of rain fairways had some brown spots but overall in good shape
★★★★★Course was in excellent shape. Easy access, bag drop courteous and helpful. Started on time. On course refreshment cart was a pleasant surprise. Will definitely be back.
★★★Close to the beach, tee times too close together. Old course that may need a makeover.
★★★★★Really liked course
★★★★★Close to where we stay but this year may have been thr best shape it has been in years of playing there.

★Don't understand why when your in the fairway there is no grass .What is supposed to be rough was dirt . The greens were exceptionly slow just did not enjoy the course
★★★A good course but not much as far as the clubhouse and the course was just average
★Greens were slowest of the week. Probably running 7 on the stimp. Course condition was poor. Course was poorly maintained. Would not recommend to anyone.

★★★Very cold....leaves not cleared away!
★★Good starting course. Nice layout not too hard good course to start your trip on
★★★Basic, old style inland Myrtle Beach course. Fun to play, meets constrained budgets.
★★★★White and gold tees were appropriate for age and skill levels. Have played this course many times and love par 4 13th signature hole.
★★★★★Greens were amazing. Held the ball on approach but putted fast and true.
★★★★★First time playing this course definitely going back great shape
★Would love to play this course again Will be back again next year
★★★Nothing outstanding
★★★Great layout, some fairways dried out
★★★Here the fairways are not too good. They can do better
★★Not what I expected for myrtle beach,also I've never heard of a golf cart with out GPS for hole yardage
★★Very poor course conditions. Greens were good but thats about it.
★★★★Staff was fine. Course was very “abused”
★Very disappointing. The marshals were ineffective if they even bothered to usher a group of 12 along. 6.5 hours to play 18 holes as the price we are paying is unacceptable.
★★★Had a 3 groups ahead who were together...they slowed the pace to the point that the round was unenjoyable....Marshall was asked to push them along as they were 2 holes behind the pace..nothing was done ...it made us not want to go back here again
★Horrible took six hours to play due to marshalls not doing their job. Never going there again.
★★★★Good course if you stay in fairway.
★★★Slow greens; hard to chip around greens.
★★★★Plenty of sand, quite challenging.
★★★★★Nice course and greens
★★★★Did enjoy this course. They were still doing renovation to the clubhouse so had to check in at the conference centre. Assuming the proshop has a patio for after golf beer I'd go back. Course condition were ok and staff were very friendly.
★★★★This comment pertains to all the above courses: You could not "roll" the ball into the cup - you had to "ram" the ball into the cup. The ball would approach the hole and then in the last 3 inches, would simply roll away. It was as if all these courses had the "Public Hole Ring" around the cup. As the greens are fast, a missed "ram" putt meant a long putt back. This was not an individual golfer problem as all our golfers experienced this on each course.
★★★Nice Course in decent shape.
★★★★nice opening course for our group.
★★★Course was okay
★★★★Nice course, not too long or difficult. Fun to play
★★★★Really nice layout. It had been some time since we've played there. Looked like they made some improvements. Staff was great.
★★★★Besides battling sand on most shots, our day at Arcadian Shores was very pleasant. The course was in great shape, and we had virtually no issues whatsoever. Great course and great people. This was the second time we played Arcadian Shores. I'm sure we'll return in the future.
★course in nice shape but cart path only for maintinence during peak of fall golf season is insane will not go back instead of letting someone know the chose money now instead of keeping customers happy
★★★Nice, not great course, areas of hardpan
★★The course was not in the best of condition, weather was perfect however the group of 16 golfers felt the staff was a bit unwelcoming and overly watchful throughout the round. Will remove this course from future consideration.
