MBN – West Course
Go west, golfers, to the West Course at Myrtle Beach National Golf Club, where scenic adventure and the richest treasures in challenges await at every turn.
Open in 1973, the West Course is a classic Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane combined design that winds through a forest of Carolina pines, doglegs, fairway bunkers and natural hazards. At a par 72 and 6,866 yards, the West Course, however, is also considered forgiving on its wide fairways and spacious greens.
The public course alludes to a private club feel, which is one of countless reasons Golf Digest ranked the West Course 4.5 stars in “Places to Play” in 2010.

View This Resort"The course is forgiving, but yet interesting. I would recommend it to anyone and is a great course to start a golf trip with, especitally if you are trying to "shake off some rust."
Definitely play this course or any of the others...you won't be disappointed. From the moment we arrived, everyone..I mean everyone was professional, informative and friendly. Any questions we had being first timers and arriving at the peak of a busy saturday morning rush were answered completely and with additional useful information. Course was in great shape, lots of great views and water features. Will be planning on playing the trifecta next year's trip to include the South and Kings North courses as well. Can't wait to get back out there next year.
We suggest MBN South & West to be great value, and the conditions are much better than the most affordable early afternoon prices.
Course in excellent shape for late summer. Fairways had perfect lies and putts rolled well and the greens were at a perfect speed. This is a relatively easier course for 12 handicap and below and it’s also fun for higher handicappers who can punch out of woods and still make bogey. Wide fairways, not a lot of water and not overly penal.
Course was in great shape for mid July. Since my sons don't get to golf as often as I do, I chose West for its wide fairways and fewer water hazards. Despite the blistering heat we had a great time. Will definitely be back to play again.
If you like a course that has that old school design MBN West is a good choice. No houses on this course. The fairways were nice and the greens were in good shape. I will be back!
Had rain the night before but this course was still extremely over priced for the conditions and the overall experience. The greens had been over seeded and you could see the new grass growing up through the Bermuda. Which didn’t produce a smooth or fast roll. The bunkers had not been drained and the fairways were extremely shaggy. Late fall and winter golf in Myrtle just really isnt that great unless you want to pay $80-$100 or more for your. round. Many better courses in the area and some will even grant you complimentary meals with your round.
Myrtle Beach National West is a good golf course! As far as I'm aware West and South are the original two designs on property and Arnold Palmer came in a few years later and put his touch on the course.
I enjoy the West, no houses or condos on the course. No out of bounds. Misses are not penalized by more than a punch out through the pine trees. 18 is a great long par 3 finisher towards the clubhouse!
MBN is an older course in the area. Having played here some 20 years ago I was eager to see what I had forgotten.
First off the entrance to the golf course off of the main highway is odd as it connects onto a side street before reaching the main road to the golf course. This "false entrance" was once impressive but now it looks neglected. The main road to the clubhouse winds through a nice residential neighbourhood.
When you arrive at the course it's clubhouse is impressive in size but does look a bit tired on the outside. The pro shop is large, well stocked and the staff were friendly.
The day we played the west course was completely vacant possibly the result of warmer than normal weather and the fact that it was Mother's Day. The starter was chatty and offered sugestions on sister courses to play.
This course has very wide and level fairways lined with large pines throughout. Precision off the tee is not necessary and in many spots the tees and parts of the fairways were "baked". The greens were green and receptive but many were pot marked. Almost all of the greens are slanted in one direction or another so choosing the right line and pace is needed in order to get your first put in the hole. This course has a number of parallel holes but doesn't not wind amongst the neighbourhood homes. Overall the course layout is good however you can tell this course is aged and has not been updated (I.e. Washrooms dated, sand trap rakes were damaged, and cart paths were uneven and spotty). We paid $40 to play on a Sunday afternoon and finished in just over 3 hours so not complaining.
Overall I'd say this course is well priced for what you get. However, with the name "Palmer" associated to it one would expect a bit more TLC.
Course was in excellent condition for being late winter. Played long because off the rain the night before. Highly recommend this course.
