Gary Player has played and designed golf courses all around the world, but there’s only one Gary Player Signature Course on the Grand Strand - Blackmoor Golf Club. Blackmoor Golf Club plays 6,614 yards from the back tees, with a course rating of 71.1 and a slope of 126. Blackmoor is also a favorite of female visitors to the Myrtle Beach area and plays 4,807 yards. Play from the yardage that best suits your game and you’re sure to have a good time. This Gary Player signature course takes advantage of the natural terrain as well as beautiful vistas, producing a combination of shot varieties, which adds to your enjoyment no matter how good or bad you’re playing. Marshes, wetlands and/or water come into play on about half the holes and the green complexes are well protected with either sand or grass bunkers and swales. With all of the thought Player put into this course, he has made it challenging for low handicappers and enjoyable for high handicappers. Easily the most memorable hole on the golf course is Number 8, a par 4 that plays 347 yards from the White tees – much shorter with Option B. “A Tale of Two Fairways” would be an appropriate name for this hole. The conventional, aka wider fairway is to the left, making this a dogleg right. You can leave driver in the bag with this route and hit a 3-wood or hybrid off the tee. That should leave a moderate chip shot into the green. Option B is for the gambler in you. Number 8 gives you an option to go directly at the green, up a narrow alleyway which plays about 270 yards. Be warned, hit it straight or pay the price. Either way, you end up at a gently undulating green protected with bunkers left – or behind the green – depending on your route. Executed correctly, Option B could help you pick up a shot on the field. Even without the old slave cemetery that runs down the left side of this hole and dates back to the 1800’s, Number 13 (478 yards from the White Tees) would still be a good hole. Add in the cemetery and good becomes great! Calling this a dogleg right doesn’t do it justice; it’s more like a 45° right turn. A long fade off the tee goes a long way in lessening the burden on your second shot, where, depending on your length off the tee, you’ll have a decision to make. Anyone with a clear shot at the green needs to go for it; there’s not a lot of trouble around the green other than a bunker on the right side and trees on the left if you’re way off. The green slopes from back right to front left, so do your best to keep the ball below the hole. Half of the holes at Blackmoor are doglegs and will require not only proper club selection but also good placement if you want to score well. Many greens are elevated and require you to fly it on the green as opposed to running it on. All of the greens roll fast and true. Blackmoor also has an excellent practice area with a full-length driving range where you can hit every club in the bag to your heart’s content, and a putting green. The clubhouse features a well-stocked pro shop with all of your favorite logoed Blackmoor gear and a grill and bar that serves all of your favorite libations and clubhouse food. The burgers are unbelievable.

Im here on vacation. And since I live in an area that still has snow on the ground, I expected to be a bit rusty. Not having played in 5 months I was looking for a golf course that was challenging without being over the top difficult. Luckily Blackmoor fit what I was looking for. Generally large fairways, subtle elevation changes, consistent Bermuda greens. All in all a nice course and good overall experience. Numerous risk reward holes, including one of the par 3s which has a resident alligator. The bad. For early April I didnt think the course warranted an $80 price tag. Still a lot of dormant grass. I have no doubt that Blackmoor is worth $80 at peak season. One thing I noticed that may just be me being picky. At the tee box on 16, asphalt was being used as a retaining wall on the gold and red tees. Seemed aesthetically out of place and a bit tacky. Overall. A good experience. Nice clubhouse, very friendly and accommodating staff. Excellent course layout. Its a course that would satisfy the novice as well as the experienced golfer.

Girl in pro shop tried to upsell me a 5 round package to sister courses after questioning the green & cart fee based on quoted price at time of booking tee time. Course has more doglegs than straight holes if ya like hitting irons & 7 woods off tee. Alot of blind shots to green. Round took 4 1/2 hours due to slow play of group not allowing us to play thru.

An interesting course to say the least. With all the twists and turns it is a challenge. The course was in good shape but the greens seemed to have some thin spots, although they rolled pretty well. Greens are on the small side but I found that challenging. Clubhouse and staff were excellent and I do plan on playing here again.

First time playing this course. Played early March 2017: Blackmoor was a delight to play. Generous off white tees; greens smooth, ball rolled with good pace; conditions everywhere were very good. I recommend without reservation. Of note: course winds through residential community.

Good course that is well taken care of and a challenging layout. Very tricky with the dog legs and makes you think about every shot. Greens rolled true and need a strategy for every hole. Watch out for gators saw 3 of them today. Well definitely be back to play again.

Awesome course! Im an 18 handicap and this place was a ton of fun. Lots of dog legs and a few really interesting thinking holes. Love the split fairway, nothing like it. Great staff, must play. Ive played 50+ myrtle beach courses and this is a top 5.

Just got home from a great trip to MB. The weather was great & the courses were exceptional! I grow more fond of Blackmoor each time I play it. The ladies absolutely LOVE this course. There are a lot of memorable holes there. Ill be back!

Golfed with my husband on Dec 28. Course in great shape, especially the greens, which were fast, but not too fast. Pace of play was expertly managed be the starter. Price was very reasonable for the quality of golf experienced.

Practice is most important. According to Michael Breed the Golf Channel PGA Professional. I will bring my last session and warm up with the "Gary Player Signature" area landscape.
