Difficult but fair golf course. Excellent conditions.

Loved playing here, shot my best round of the week and didn't lose a ball on the gambler. Nice conditions

started on the back 9, tee boxes looked like they had not been mowed for a week. The fairways were bare, no grass, hitting off of hard pan! They are working on putting a sprinkler system in, but don't bother telling you. The only hole that had grass was #18, nice fairways. Moving onto the front 9, it was much better, green fairways, but the greens were bumpy and wet. The mowing grew was in the fairway on #7, two tractors mowing in the fairway back and forth and would not stop so you could tee off. Once you got teed off into the fairway they ran as close as possible while you hit your second shot. After that we gave up in frustration and left the golf course.

Course in good shape, different from others and fun to play.

Great experience, excellent conditions from tee to green

Liked this course very much. Nice conditions and fun

Nice shape greens rolled good. Fast and firm fairways. Tough pin placements on this particular day. One of my favorite designs.

favorite course of the week, great shape. played additional 9 on the West course and enjoyed that as well.

Enjoyed our round. Was my favorite of the four Barefoot courses. Will play here again, friendly staff too

Great conditions and challenging

challenging but fun and the greens rolled great. Outstanding staff

Our family liked this course. I haven't played many times in the past few years but it was enjoyable. The staff was very welcoming too

love the layout with the exception of #17 but many of the tees were burnt out and dirt and many of the fairways were dirt. Fairway shots were of of hard pan and very thin lies which more times then not produced thin iron shots.

Scenic and challenging, nice conditions

Beautiful and scenic. nice conditions

Very nice course and friendly staff

Loved this course outstanding conditions and fun to play

Enjoyable round. Course in excellent condition

They had us start on the back nine. It took 2 hours and 50 minutes to play just the back nine. Took a look at the back up on the first hole and decided we had enough.

Beautiful and very user-friendly. Played with my 13 year old son and we both enjoyed it. Very good shape too

Great golf course perfect conditions. Very friendly staff

Our groups favorite of the week, great conditions

nice shape and friendly staff

Nice conditions was windy but fun. Friendly staff

Great shape our groups favorite as we try to play here every year during our trip. Excellent bar and restaurant as well

had a fun day and liked the concept. course in excellent condition

Friendly staff- made a serious effort to make you comfortable. The course was in great shape,especially the greens. They were receptive and rolled true.Superb value.

Nice place to play

Six greens had not recovered from winter kill . This ruined what should have been a great golf experience. There was no reduction in green fees. Call before you go. Greens this bad will take a good length of time to recover

Friendly course if you keep the ball in the fairway, not overly long and we enjoyed it. Staff does a nice job having 3 courses there

Tough, sandy but fun. Would like to play again to see if I could play it better

Beautiful. Our family had a great day

Not too challenging and fun. Was our first day so a good course to start on after not playing for a few months.

We have been traveling to Myrtle Beach to play golf the last week of March for no less than 24 years. How is Gem ever slipped our radar is beyond me. We played seven courses this week..I would gladly play this course every day for the week that I was downplaying. The condition is impeccable, the pace of play was perfect, and just an overall fantastic day with once again, the best conditions on the grand Strand

One of our groups favorites, excellent conditions and a great day

Very nice course. Great staff at the pro shop. The course was a lot of fun and in great shape!"

Outstanding conditions quick greens and fun

Nice shape and friendly staff

Course in nice condition and didn't want to ding it for that. The course was backed up due to lake of tee time management and marshaling. The first nine played really well time wise. Then we headed to the turn and had four groups on the 1st hole on the Meadows course. After that long wait we still had to wait on every tee there after. We got to know the group we followed pretty well. With discussion with them they said a group of 12 was playing load music and was slowing down the rest of us, no one was in front of them. We also found out there was a group 12 was late for the tee time. We got to the par 3 number 8 hole and we had four groups on that hole and group behind us was practicing there putting on hole 7 due to wait and holding up the group behind. Complained to the desk and was told the group of 12 was trying to play as a group and was only playing 9. I think they were more interested in partying than playing. He apogeic but the friends I brough will not come back and the people in front of us stated they will not be coming back.

Challenging but fun and good greens

Tournament like conditions, great greens excellent conditions. Second cut is very tough

What a great course, fun layout, great risk reward holes. Conditions were immaculate, beautiful fairways, greens rolling perfect, enjoyed the challenges of the water holes and the challenging second shots into the par 5s. Great clubhouse with an awesome tribute to Arnie with a display of his clubs, some hand written letters, photos etc. Will go down as one of the best courses I have ever played. Cart staff was awesome, friendly and full of knowledge. Cant wait to come back next year.

Fast greens, nice conditions
