One of the most enjoyable rounds on the Grand Strand awaits you at PineHills, one of two courses at Myrtlewood Golf Club, located just minutes from downtown Myrtle Beach. Originally designed by Edmund B. Ault and later redesigned by Arthur Hills, the PineHills Course offers a modern, shotmaker’s layout that’s become a favorite among both locals and returning golf groups.

Where its sister course, Palmetto, offers wide corridors and a more traditional resort feel, PineHills is narrower, more strategic, and a test of accuracy and finesse.

Course Overview

PineHills trades distance for precision. It’s not the longest course, but it places a premium on keeping the ball in play and working it around gentle doglegs, bunkers, and water-lined holes.

The Golfer’s Review

This is one of the best-maintained courses in central Myrtle Beach. It plays smooth and fair, with conditions that rival many higher-end layouts. What makes PineHills shine is its playability for all skill levels—high handicappers won’t feel punished, and better players can test themselves with tight tee shots and subtle green contours.

It’s a must-play for anyone staying near the heart of the Grand Strand.
