North Myrtle Beach sits at the upper end of the Grand Strand, the 60-mile arc of coastline that has made South Carolina one of the most golf-saturated destinations in the country. With hundreds of courses competing for attention along this stretch, a club has to offer something worth returning to — and Eagle Nest has long been a reliable fixture in the North Myrtle rotation for players who know the area well.
The Grand Strand's layout was shaped by the Intracoastal Waterway, pine flatwoods, and the low-country marshes that push inland from the coast. Courses in this part of the Strand tend to work with that wetland topography — water comes into play, pines frame the corridors, and the flat terrain puts a premium on course management over brute elevation change. The air carries a coastal humidity, and afternoon winds off the Atlantic can quietly transform a straightforward round.
As a par 72 designed for resort-market play, Eagle Nest fits the Grand Strand mold: accessible enough for visiting recreational golfers, but with enough character to reward a second look.
