The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
An Arnold Palmer redesign widely held as the best of Myrtle Beach National's three layouts and a bucket-list staple, headlined by "The Gambler" par 5 with its island fairway.
Consistently praised
- Golfers single out The Gambler's island-fairway gamble and the heavily bunkered, South-Carolina-shaped par 3 as holes that stick in memory.
- The design gives every skill level a route to score rather than simply punishing misses.
Worth knowing
- The Gambler's aggressive line is hard for mid and higher handicaps, so most golfers advise laying up unless you are a strong player.
Golfers recommend
- Take the safe route on The Gambler unless you are a single-digit player; the island fairway is a small target.
- Play a tee that fits your game; it rewards smart positioning over raw distance.
