Beautiful course in great shape

Course was amazing. Greens, fairways, bunkers and tee boxes are in great shape. As far as playing, you will need to find the fairway, or might as well say farewell to those band new pro v1s. Lots of water, sand and waste bunker areas. Wasn’t a huge fan of the awkward, short layup, tee shots, but just personal preference. You will most likely not need your driver if you can get out over 250.

We were first ones off in the morning. so we had no problem with pace of play, even with the double tee times. Only caught up to some other groups on hole 15, but still finished round in under 4 hours.

Loved everything but the mosquitoes!!

This has become a sneaky little favorite of mine that I’ll play many more times.

Helps to know your way around so first time scores were higher than normal and that can be expected if you hit to the wrong spot.

Hit fairways and you’ll have no problems. Problems spraying the ball and you’ll claim this course is the problem😉!

We liked the course a lot. Be prepared to deal with waste bunkers from time to time. The staff was very friendly and accommodating! We’ll be back.

Great Staff. Pretty Good course

Staff was outstanding. Course was unique for me as I’ve never played with me with natural sand as part of the fairways. Greens and fairways were well maintained and actually green.

Windy weather

First time at Founders

OK.In all fairness we played after 4"+ of rain in 3 days. That being said; Course was playable and GRASS was not overly wet. As this course does not have cart paths you ride thru the Waste Areas This is where all the rain ended up! Watery mud areas would be more accurate.If your ball did find a dry area in waste area it was like plating off hard pan as everyone is allowed to ride everywhere in the waste areas.It looked like the waste ares have not been looked after in weeks if not months.
keeping carts to outer edges of waste areas and raking every few days would make and keep it a much more playable and enjoyable course.
When you do find the fairways it is a very nice layout. Slightly narrower fairways than most courses we have played in Myrtle Beach but not hurtful. need to be sure you have correct club in you hand or have extra balls to use. Over all we thought it was a nice course but will need to replay it in dryer .conditions to get a better read and to see if waste areas are maintained better.

Enjoyable round of golf for the price

Great layout. I love the waste bunker look.

Waste areas / cart paths were very wet and muddy.

Tee boxes were decent turf not great

Fairways and greens were good not great.

Bunkers were consistent.

For the price I was very happy to play here. Course layout was fun to hit different clubs off the tee.

I will play here again.

Only negative is no range. Hit into a net to warm up.
