The course
A Gene Hamm design from 1992 just west of Myrtle Beach off U.S. 501, Burning Ridge was named the 2006 Myrtle Beach Golf Course of the Year.
Burning Ridge plays like a tournament course, with gently rolling fairways framed by towering pines, plenty of lakes, and undulating TifEagle greens. The par 72 layout stretches to 6,780 yards from the championship tees, with men's tees at 6,216 and ladies' tees at 4,524. It is a true shotmaking test built for competitive play.
The defining challenge here is the green complexes. Most putting surfaces are elevated with moderate undulation and guarded by clusters of greenside bunkers, so approach shots and short game carry the round. As the locals put it, it is not how you drive, it is how you arrive. Bring your best iron play and Burning Ridge rewards it.

★★★★A norther nice course
★Skip this place.
★★★Fairways were in rough shape due to all the recent rain
★★★Fairways not in great condition
★★They said they were having a hard time maintaining the course because of all the rain and then dryness and it was true because the fairways were very soft and mushy with a lot of grass missing. But the greens were very n..We also got lunch and 2 drinks so that was very nice.
★★★★★Very nice course with courteous people
★★★Greens were good but course was underwater otherwise. I guess nowhere for water to drain from all recent rain.
★Very nice course layout. Course was in very poor condition. Hardly any grass in fairways.
★★★★There was some repair work on the fairways but other than that, the course was great.
★Fairways didn’t have grass/ poorly managed. Would never play again . It was a waste of time
★★Fairways and tee boxes have very little grass. So much mud.
★Greens were great but fairways were basically unplayable
★★★The course condition was not very good with areas of the fairways and tees just dirt since the Bermuda grass had not sprouted yet. All other course we played had not iisues like this.
★This course should be closed. No grass at all and no sand in traps.
★Never will go back there. There was no grass on tee boxes and fairways.
★Was told that Burning Ridge was in great shape from the gentleman in the pga superstore tee time kiosk. Course conditions were absolutely brutal.. fairways and rough burnt to crap.. greens were slow .. haven’t play anything like since I was young.. We were truly disappointed.
★The course was in terrible shape.
★Course has a wonderful lay out, however, it was burnt out and is in terrible shape. I would not play here again.
★★Fairways had no grass.
★This course was almost unplayable. I have never see a course that literally had no grass on the tee boxes and fairways. The greens were fine oddly enough. I’ve played golf in MB for 35 years and have never seen a course in this bad of shape. I’m disappointed that you would have them on your list of courses to play. That’s almost like stealing from your customers. I’m not sure how much we paid to play it, but if it was more than $10 then we got taken advantage of. I read reviews before we played it and they were pretty consistent with what we saw, so I know this has been an ongoing issue for a while. I think you should have known this and therefore not use it for your customers.
★The worst course I’ve played in 10 years. They should have moved us to a different course.
★★Course was in terrible shape except the greens.
★★★Played this course for years. Worst shape it's been in years.
★★★★Loved the picturesque trees. Good pace.
★★★★Good layout but the greens need a little TLC.
★★★★better condition 2 years ago
★★The course was the worst of the three we played. Fairways were like concrete. Not much grass.
★★Greens and fairways not very well taken care of
★★★★Staff was great. Course was fun.
★★★★clubbing very outdated
★★★★(Winter golf) course in average condition.
★★★★★well ,maintained course condition , especially greens!!
★★★Rude staff. The workers were really rude to a couple of our guys who are new to golf.
★★★★We enjoyed this course.
★Very difficult for the ladies
★★★★★The course was challenging, but playable. The greens were a little slow. Everyone was very friendly in the clubhouse. Starter was very good. Good driving range.
★★★Course OK, our least favourite. Golf staff were rushing us pre and post round it was the only time all week that we didn’t feel the starter staff valued our business. Restaurant and cart girl were great
★★★★★Course was lush and green
★★★★Great set up and layout. The fairways a d greens were in great condition. The only detractor was the 1st cut on most fairways were thick and a foot off the fairway had players taking the full 5 minutes to find balls or drop. Overwise, excellent course and will come back
★disgusting condition
★★over watered, extremely wet during drought conditions. Greens were inconsistent and rough at times
★★The staff was great, the course was in terrible shape. I’ve never hit off dirt and sand in the fairways so much, and I’ve played some rough courses. The tee boxes were in terrible shape as well. Greens were ok, lot of burnt grass and dirt and sand patches to putt around.
★★Fairways were dry and full of hard pan son all fairway clubs bounced. Layout was tough but good.
★★★tee boxes ,greens and fairways good sand traps lacked sand were unraked and hard
★★★★I liked this couse also small greens made for good ballot placement.
★This was a horrible experience. We will NEVER play this course again. From the start we were rushed, they followed us around the course on a cart and kept pushing us through. They would not allow us to order anything off the menu except hotdogs, chips and a drink as they said it would take too long. There were three occasions that the team behind us HIT A BALL INTO OUR TEAM AND ALMOST HIT OUR PLAYERS DUE TO BEING RUSHED. All of the employees were pushy and rude. When you are spending your hard-earned money to play golf at a course, these people should be appreciative - that is their JOB SECURITY. All seven of our players were disgusted with this course and their staff.
★★★★★Really liked this course. We had never played this one before. Thank you ! Will play it next spring if we come back down.
★★★little burned out
