A Natural, Relaxing Layout
What sets Lockwood Folly apart from many Myrtle Beach-area courses is its tranquility. There are no loud crowds, no encroaching developments — just golf, nature, and water in every direction.
Standout features include:
-
Tight, tree-lined fairways that reward accurate tee shots
-
Multiple dogleg holes that challenge course management
-
Water hazards in play on more than half the holes
-
Large, contoured greens that roll fast and true
-
Breathtaking views of the Intracoastal and riverfront on several finishing holes
The course plays differently depending on tee selection and wind conditions, but it always offers a fun, fair challenge with a peaceful setting.
Signature Holes
Several holes at Lockwood Folly deliver both beauty and bite:
-
Hole 2 (Par 5): A sharp dogleg left with water on the corner and bunkers waiting for errant layups. A true strategy hole.
-
Hole 9 (Par 4): A narrow hole framed by trees and marsh, finishing with a challenging approach to a well-protected green.
-
Hole 16 (Par 4): A scenic riverfront hole with an open view of the Lockwood Folly River and marshland beyond the green.
-
Hole 18 (Par 5): One of the best finishing holes in the area — long, open, and ending near the water with wind and distance in play.
You’ll find yourself pulling out your camera as often as your wedge — especially on the back nine.
