Blackmoor is the one course on the Grand Strand that carries Gary Player’s signature. It sits west of Murrells Inlet on the former Longwood Plantation, which runs alongside the Waccamaw River, and GolfPass gives its opening year as 1990. At a maximum of 6,614 yards it is short by local standards, and the club says plainly that it is not a grip-it-and-rip-it course. Nearly half the holes bend one way or the other, so the round is decided by where you place the tee shot rather than how far it goes. That makes it a sensible choice for a mixed-ability group.
Blackmoor Golf Club green fees and tee times.
Blackmoor is a public course and takes bookings in three ways: the online tee-sheet linked from blackmoor.com, a call to the pro shop on 866-952-5555 (toll free) or 843-650-5555 (local), or an email to info@blackmoor.com. The website also runs a chatbot, labelled “Ask me something!” on the tee-times page, that answers booking questions. The club says it hosts everyone from single golfers to large corporate groups, and group bookings start with a call to the pro shop, which also stocks rental clubs if you fly in without your own. Rates are shown on the tee-sheet for the date you choose rather than on a printed rate card, and GolfPass lists the cart as included in the green fee.
The round, in perspective.
The design leans on angles. The club’s own advice is that, with doglegs on nearly half the holes, early club selection may do more for your score than length off the tee, and it describes the layout as one that tests strong players while still giving a high handicapper a fun round. The best-known hole is the par-4 eighth, which Golfbreaks describes as having two fairways: a direct line through the trees for the bold, and a longer, safer route around. GolfPass lists Bermuda grass on both greens and fairways. A “#18 Live” page on the club’s website offers a live view of the 18th green, which is a quick way to look at conditions on the morning of your round.

Make the trip work.
Choose your tees with care. Beyond the 6,614-yard maximum, the club publishes Black at 6,372 yards, White at 5,945, Yellow at 5,556 and Red at 4,581, so most visiting groups will be happier off the White or Black. Because the course plays tight and angled rather than long, it fits well on the morning after a travel day or between two of the bigger south Strand courses. Golfbreaks lists a practice range, a short-game area and putting green, and a clubhouse serving food and drink after the round. The street address is 6100 Longwood Drive, Murrells Inlet.
Myrtle Beach International (MYR) is the closest airport, roughly a half-hour drive north-east. The club sits inland from US 17 Bypass in Murrells Inlet, at the end of Longwood Drive. Charleston (CHS) is about two hours south if flights are cheaper there.
Blackmoor has no rooms of its own. Murrells Inlet itself is the closest base, with rental houses and small hotels near the water. Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort on Pawleys Island, about 20 minutes south, rents oceanfront condos and villas and is used by many package operators. For a bigger choice of hotels, Garden City Beach and Surfside Beach sit just east of Murrells Inlet on the ocean, and central Myrtle Beach is roughly half an hour north.
Make a trip of it.
TPC Myrtle Beach is the nearest course of note, a few minutes away in Murrells Inlet, and Caledonia Golf & Fish Club and True Blue are a short drive south on Pawleys Island. Together they make a strong four-round south Strand week without long drives. Away from golf, the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk is a boardwalk of seafood restaurants over the marsh, and Brookgreen Gardens, a sculpture garden on former rice plantations, is a few miles south on US 17.
Find your season.
GolfPass lists Blackmoor as a year-round course. The main Grand Strand golf seasons are spring, from March to May, and autumn, from late September to November, when tee times and package prices are at their highest. Summer brings heat, humidity and afternoon storms, so take the earliest tee time you can. Winter rounds are quieter and usually cheaper.
Gary Player, the South African winner of nine major championships. The club describes Blackmoor as his only signature course on the Grand Strand, built on the Longwood Plantation beside the Waccamaw River. GolfPass dates its opening to 1990.
How do I book a tee time at Blackmoor?
Use the online tee-sheet on blackmoor.com, call the pro shop on 866-952-5555 or 843-650-5555, or email info@blackmoor.com. The website’s chatbot can also help with booking questions. Prices are shown for each date and time when you search, rather than on a published rate card.
How long is Blackmoor from the back tees?
It measures 6,614 yards at its longest. The Black tees play 6,372 yards and the forward Red tees 4,581. Nearly half the holes are doglegs, so it plays harder than the yardage suggests if you miss the corners.
Is Blackmoor near TPC Myrtle Beach?
Yes. Both are in Murrells Inlet, only a few minutes apart, so you can play one in the morning and the other in the afternoon or on the next day. Caledonia and True Blue on Pawleys Island are also within about 20 minutes.
