Eagle Nest Golf Club in North Myrtle Beach is not just known for its challenging length and gleaming lakes, but for the pristine wildlife that inhabits the course, including an eagle that is known to nest in one of the many Carolina pines. This course has been on the Myrtle Beach map for decades and many golfers migrate to play here, year after year. The course was renovated in 2001 from tee to green and features Bermuda fairways and greens with gentle contours and generous playing areas. Although this course has been named “a gentle giant,” you will find it an easy challenge to conquer, even with the length swinging at 7,000 yards!
Your round will no doubt be pleasurable, but Eagle Nest is also renowned for creating memories with the “Grand Strand’s Toughest” final three holes. The sequence of the three final holes include: par 4, par 5 and finishing hole par 3, each which contain plenty of water and present a tricky challenge. Be prepared to carry water on these holes. The biggest carry will be on the par 3 #18, at 150 yards from the back tees. Having the most challenging holes positioned on the last three is the reason why this course has been one of the most popular courses in the North Myrtle beach area for more than 40 years and counting.
Great course and well kept. The greens were great for putting and the fairways were good to play off.

Course is nice but greens are a bit rough and fairways can be dried out and hard giving long runs that can get you in trouble with water if you know what you normally hit. Best to take one club less if any chance of reaching water. At times I would get some 25 yards more than my normal tee shots. Tees are rough but playable. Greens putted pretty true and only had some problems when ball was hit soft and taking a few unexpected turns at times as though there were some unnoticeable depressions. Best to hit it firm when near the hole. Last three holes can be a bear but are still fun. Traps are well placed around greens and in good shape and still present decent openings to green if you don't want to go over them.

Eagle's Nest has maybe the fastest greens on the Grand Strand. The roll fast and true. The mini-verde grass that is now on the greens really putts well. The nest is an older course that has upgraded itself. The last 3 holes are as good as any finish on the Strand. If you have not played Eagles Nest recently, it is well worth a visit. Great Greens!

Need a starter at hole one and a ranger on the course. Didn't like the sand covering the greens. The practice green was nothing like the greens on the course. If people do not wish to use bag drop the attendant needs to allow that and respect that. And no need to be grumpy in the morning to a person about to give you a tip. Overall good experience.

Beautiful layout and surroundings, but course is in bad need of repair. Fairways are tolerable, greens are terrible and appear to be painted or stained a green color. The rough is nonexistent in most areas. This would be a beautiful coarse when someone invest in the maintenance and up keep of greens.

I played this course about 18 months ago and was disappointed this time. The course does not appear to be well maintained. The greens were ragged and slow and the grass in the fairways was barely grown in and spotty. It was still fun to play 16, 17 and 18, but if conditions don't improve, Eagle Nest could be off the rotation for a while.

Played on a Sunday morning in July. Got a tee time the day before, and the course was not very busy. Paid $35 and honestly was a little bit let down. Just expect more when I play at the beach but there was good and bad. The good - not crowded at all, friendly staff, and good layout with some challenging holes and some carries over water, but not ridiculously long carries. The last three holes are really fun but I don't know about them being the 3 toughest finishing holes on the Grand Strand. I played the last 3 holes at 2 over par and lipped out a par putt on 17, but like I said still fun. The bad - course was not in great shape. You could tell that parts of the fairway were not hit by the irrigation system. I understand it's hot and summer and dry, but the parts of the fairways that were getting water had not been cut in several days. In many places the rough was shorter than the fairways. The grass on many of the tee boxes was also rather long. Finally, the greens were very sandy and slow. Not a bad course but I will probably not go back. Too many other good courses around.

Really like the squirrels who came up to us, and the crows that stole a Cliff Bar out of the cart was too funny. We had a hard time on the fairways that were being aerated. The maintenance people are not very considerate of guests as they go flying by, and don't consider the noise they are making. No water fountain at the restroom and nobody out on the course offering drinks. The bathroom in the clubhouse is nice, but don't try to sit down on the toilet, you almost have to sit sideways. It was way to small for the average man. The last 2 holes are tough but challenging.

Course was in great shape. Thunderstorm night before play, but course took water well. Played lift and place, but for most part you could just roll ball over with club & you were good to go! A couple of tees on backside needed work, burnt out & bare. 17th was my favorite, longer par 5 with water to carry front of green, very scenic & fun to play! Take your GPS, tough to find this place.

The course was just okay. It's similar to Possum Trot, Beachwood, Azalea Sands. I was expecting a little better but on the same level as those courses. When we called to make a tee time they made a point to say the course is in excellent condition. It wasn't. It was cart path only, standing water in fairways, lots of brown paths everywhere, greens were a little better. I was expecting better since they made a point to say it was excellent. They would have been better off saying nothing. There was not really a starter, it was just one bag drop guy who sorta was a starter. Nobody was there to tell the guy who hit 4 balls in a row in front of us to step off the first tee. The 3 finishing holes weren't too hard, easier than expected. The course is pretty open and forgiving. If you go left or right you just have to punch from under the pines. I wasn't blown away. I won't be going back for a while.
