A Renowned Signature Design
By The Golden Bear
Long Bay Golf Club is one of two Myrtle Beach area courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, and the 18-time major champion’s original plans for the layout continue to resonate more than 30 years after its opening.
Just months after winning the 1986 Masters, Nicklaus toured the property and told local reporters, “Frankly, a tree-lined course can be boring. But I like what I see here, and I know you will like the course.”
Nicklaus and his design team delivered a layout that is defined visually by waste bunkers and mounding, allowing players to be creative in how they attack and even recover on a course that continues to delight locals and traveling golfers. Speaking to the quality of the design, three back nine holes at Long Bay - 10, 13 and 18 - have been ranked among the top 100 along the Myrtle Beach golf scene, and each challenges players in a different way.
Long Bay, which underwent a greens renovation project in 2023, has remained true to the Golden Bear’s vision and golfers are the beneficiaries.
