Pebble Beach Golf Links
The Pacific sets the scene. The little seventh steals the show.
Tom Fazio’s public tournament course in the marsh country south of Myrtle Beach.

TPC Myrtle Beach opened in 1999 at Murrells Inlet, on the southern Grand Strand, after the PGA Tour decided it wanted a branded course in Myrtle Beach; the state governor marked it as the area’s 100th layout. Tom Fazio designed it with Lanny Wadkins, and Tom Watson won the Senior Tour Championship here in 2000. Unlike many TPC courses, it is open to the public, takes bookings online and lets children play free with a paying adult. It is a demanding, tournament-ready layout, and it now hosts qualifying for the PGA Tour’s Myrtle Beach Classic.
Book directly online through the TPC Myrtle Beach website or by calling the golf shop on 843-357-3399. You do not need to be a member or a resort guest. The course uses dynamic pricing, so the green fee depends on the date and time you choose and is shown when you search. The course website also sells multi-course packages that combine TPC with other Grand Strand courses and lodging. Children aged 16 and under play free when accompanied by a paying adult.
The course plays from 5,118 to 6,950 yards, par 72. Fazio’s associate Tom Marzolf has described the site as undeveloped land with varied contours, and the holes were placed where the ground moved most. The greens are MiniVerde ultradwarf Bermuda, Fazio’s firm rebuilt the bunkers in 2018, and Golf Digest gave the course five stars in 2008. The 5th is a downhill par three over water to a multi-level green. The 16th, 390 yards from the back, has a green perched above three deep bunkers, and the 17th is a par three to a peninsula green, a nod to Sawgrass. The 18th is a risk-and-reward par five ringed by spectator mounding. Watson won here in October 2000 at 18 under par, beating John Jacobs by one shot. In 2019 the course hosted an NCAA Division I Regional, where Collin Morikawa finished 14th a year before winning the PGA Championship.
At 6,950 yards from the tips this is not long by tour standards, but Lanny Wadkins wanted holes such as the 16th to make even a short-iron approach feel dangerous, so choose a tee box that matches your game; the shortest set plays 5,118 yards. The range is open to the public, and the Dustin Johnson Golf School is based at the far end. Have breakfast or lunch at the TPC Grille, which looks onto the 18th green, or a drink in the Champions Pub, opened in 2015.
Myrtle Beach International (MYR) is about 15 miles north, around 25 minutes by car via US 17 Bypass. Charleston (CHS) is roughly 95 miles south. The course entrance is on TPC Boulevard, just west of US 17 near Murrells Inlet, so you will need a car or a pre-arranged golf transfer.
