Blackmoor Golf Club - Waccamaw Golf Trail
Blackmoor Golf Club is Gary Player's Only Signature Golf Course on the Waccamaw

By , About.com Guide

Blackmoor Golf Club, on the Waccamaw Golf Trail in Myrtle Beach, is Gary Player's only signature course in the area. Blackmoor Golf Club is built on the historic Longwood Plantation which parallels the Waccamaw River. It’s a spectacular, undulating design that takes full advantage of Longwood’s natural terrain and beautiful vistas making it one of Myrtle Beach’s most enjoyable places to play.

Few golfers are as passionate for the game as Gary Player, one of only four golfers to win all four majors. Gary, not one of the most prolific golf course designers, has brought his extraordinary passion to Blackmoor, his only Grand Strand signature course. There’s no doubt that Player has enjoyed a life-long love affair with Scotland and its golf courses. This is evident throughout the Blackmoor layout – simple, playable, challenging and rewarding.

Built along the banks of the scenic Waccamaw River, Blackmoor is widely regarded and ranked among the best maintained and well managed courses on the Waccamaw Golf Trail. Blackmoor was voted "Myrtle Beach's Golf Course of the Year" in 2001.

The course plays some 6,614 yards from the longest tees for a par of 72 with a slope of 128 and a course rating of 71.1.

Green Fees: From $49 to $133 depending on the time, day and season.
