Course Overview
Crown Park Golf Club is a par-72 layout that plays to just over 6,500 yards from the back tees. While it’s not the longest course on the Grand Strand, what it lacks in distance it makes up for in strategy, natural beauty, and excellent pace of play.

What Makes Crown Park Unique?
One of the standout features of Crown Park is what you won’t find: there are no houses on the course. This is a rare treat in the Myrtle Beach area, where many courses are lined with homes, condos, or developments. At Crown Park, it’s just you, the game, and the peaceful surroundings.
Other benefits include:
-
Wide fairways but subtle elevation changes that require thoughtful club selection
-
Lightly rolling terrain and native pines framing every hole
-
Friendly layout suitable for beginners, seniors, and mid-handicappers
-
Excellent value with some of the most competitive green fees on the Grand Strand
The course provides enough variety to stay interesting across multiple rounds, yet it remains playable even for those who are newer to the game.
Course Highlights
While Crown Park doesn’t rely on dramatic elevation or extreme hazards, it shines in its simplicity and flow. A few holes worth mentioning include:
-
Hole 2 (Par 4): A slight dogleg that tests your accuracy with bunkers flanking both sides of the fairway and a narrow approach.
-
Hole 6 (Par 3): A short but demanding tee shot over water with a sloped green — a great par-3 that looks easier than it plays.
-
Hole 15 (Par 5): A great scoring opportunity with a reachable green in two for long hitters, but water guards the lay-up area and the approach.
Each hole is surrounded by the natural forest setting, with very little outside noise or distraction.
