Possum Trot
1170 Possum Trot Rd, North Myrtle Beach, SC
6.4
Possum Trot is a course one can truly enjoy year round, and perfect for average golfers with wide fairways. That being said low handicappers find the course friendly yet still a test of ability. With onsite practice facilities and driving range complete with chipping, pitching, and putting greens one can make a day of golf. Enjoy the golf school and practice bunkers while perfecting your shot and understand why guests feel that they are truly treated like #1.

Not a difficult course so I'd recommend it to other hackers like myself; lower handicaps won't be challenged much. Despite what I read in other reviews the staff was very friendly and helpful, course in pretty decent condition for this time of year, great practice facilities. Juniors 17 and under playing free is a huge plus.

One of my favorites! Holes into the wind play pretty long, even from the white tees. The 18th par 5 is a fun finishing hole.

Possum Trot is always a fun course to play. Some of the tees were not in good condition, and hopefully this is an isolated situation to this year.

Again, the sand traps were very inconsistent. We contemplated not hitting out of them because they were so bad. There were 2 greens that were sub standard in condition.

Because of the bad winter in Myrtle Beach the course was not visually applealing because of the dormant grass.

The staff was very friendly and only charged me the walking rate for 9 holes even though I needed a cart. We played the front nine and the greens were in really bad shape. Most greens only had about 50% coverage and were obviously difficult to putt on. We were told after the round that the greens were going to be resurfaced in May. I don't blame the course for not investing time and resources into making the greens more playable since they are being overhauled in the near future. However, it would have been considerate of the staff to inform us prior to our round what we were getting into.

This was our second time playing Possum Trot, and we were familiar with the course. The course was very wet due to some rain prior to our arrival and it made for some soggy conditions. We were very disappointed in the condition of the greens; they looked like there was hardly any grass on them. I don't know if they had "lost them" and were in a recovery phase, but it didn't affect our overall experience. It is a fun layout to play, and plenty of opportunities for birdies. The staff was very friendly and courteous; we were even given free range balls!
The only negative thing we could think of was that it cost more to play than MBN does.

This is a nice course for the money and a great choice for higher handicappers. My wife, who is a beginner, really enjoyed it. I really liked the layout of the holes. The greens were in rough shape and very slow but the rest of the course was in fairly good shape (even with a lot of rain over the previous week or two). The entire staff here was very friendly. We played on Thanksgiving and were given a complimentary turkey sandwich for lunch after the round ... nice touch! If you're looking for a decent, reasonably priced course in MB, I recommend playing here.

Not the most glamorous course on the Grand Strand but one of the funniest with the best folks around. Older course that is a lot of fun without all the glitz and glamor they put in many courses these days. So good we played it twice in one day!

It's an OK course. Nothing exceptional. Our group typically plays a 'non-premium' course on our first day as a warm-up. I believe the greens fee w/ cart was close to $60. In my opinion, it should've been $40.

Played there early July of this year for the first time. The purpose was to play a good warm-up course to start the week. It is wide and playable but the greens and fairways were in fair shape at best. If you compare to other Glens courses, the on-course maintenance and service is far behind. Also the pro shop would need some upgrade.

I totally agree with the previous comment from A.E. I have also been golfing at courses in and around Myrtle Beach for more than 15 years and I have never had a bad experience as the one I had at Possum Trot, specially from the people on the course. They were not very welcoming. They probably don't understand how to be nice with people. I will not play that course again.

The course was OK for a $50 course, but not great. I have been golfing at courses in and around Myrtle Beach for years and by far the staff at this course are the rudest I have ever encountered. Apparently this is a theme for this course based on previous reviews. As stated before the course was average, top it off with the ridiculously rude staff I will never play there again, and will ensure my friends and family will not either.

We all found this to be a really fun track. The facility is not as fancy as some of the other places we played, but it has everything we went there for - - a golf course with lots of interesting holes, a good pace of play, and a tasty hot dog promptly served at the turn. We played 27 holes and had a blast.

I am not sure why top or over seeding should prevent you from driving your cart on the fairways. As wide as your fairways are, often it was quite a walk to your ball on the other side of the fairway. It also slowed up play, especially when you had to get another club because you had to shape your shot differently.

Our tee-time was 1147 hrs. We enjoyed the course, BUT, the guys in the pro shop and the guy working the grill were grumpy and not very welcoming.
The starter and his assistant (African-American guy) were very warm and friendly. Another old -timer who loaded the bags was rude when one of our foursome started to load his own bag on the golf cart.
Again, we all enjoyed the course, but the behavior of a few of the employees was what we talked about after the round.
