Nestled along the scenic Waccamaw Golf Trail in Murrells Inlet, Blackmoor Golf Club is the only course in the Myrtle Beach area designed by golf legend Gary Player—and it shows. Blending championship-caliber challenge with player-friendly design, Blackmoor is a must-play for visiting golfers who want a taste of strategic brilliance in a serene lowcountry setting.
Course Overview
Opened in 1990, Blackmoor was built on the site of the historic Longwood Plantation and weaves through moss-draped oaks, wetlands, and natural lakes. Player’s design emphasizes risk-reward decisions, shot-making creativity, and strategic angles over brute strength—making it a favorite for golfers of all skill levels.
One of its most famous holes, the par-4 8th, gives golfers two completely different routes to the green—highlighting the kind of choices Player intended to make the game exciting.

Golfer’s Review
Blackmoor is one of those courses that keeps drawing you back. It’s fair but far from easy. You’ll use every club in the bag. The fairways are generous, but the real thinking starts on your approach shots. The greens are smooth and well-guarded. And best of all, it’s usually in fantastic shape and offers a solid pace of play.
