Designed by Arnold Palmer, King's North at Myrtle Beach National is one of the most visually exciting and challenging courses in America, as well as one of the most requested courses on the Beach. By adding bunkers and greens, planting new Crenshaw bentgrass greens, and enlarging lakes, Palmer created what many believe to be the finest and most intriguing course on the Grand Strand.

Many of the holes on King's North have earned their own reputations. One such hole is the par-3, 3rd hole with its island green and SC shaped sand-traps make it the signature hole. The hole also gained a wooden bulkhead to create greater definition to an enlarged green. The par-5 6th hole, which has earned the nickname "The Gambler," features an island fairway which offers a risk-reward shot for golfers. It's a short-cut to the green for a chance at an eagle but the two precise shots required bring a challenge. In fact, "The Gambler" was christened by singer Kenny Rogers himself and his spike marks were cast in concrete near the tee box to celebrate the opening of one of Myrtle Beach's most famous holes. With a landing area that's 100 yards long and 50 yards wide, it's not an overly difficult shot when you don't have the wind against you. By hitting the island, you will have an intensely shorter approach. However, it is still dangerous with water coming into play on the left and right.

The 18th hole, which has earned the nickname "The Bull's-Eye" by Golf Magazine, has 42 sandtraps which guard either side of the fairway. The green here reaches out into a lake and requires pin point accuracy to miss the multiple sandtraps.

With a slope of 136 and a course rating of 72.6, the Crenshaw bentgrass greens enhance the already manicured and designed landscaping. The course also features many difficult pin placements often bringing greenside bunkers and water into play. This makes King's North a course which will make you think carefully before every shot. The narrow fairways don't allow much of a landing area.

The colorful layout, island greens, vast waste bunkers, rolling mounds, and crafted waterfalls add to the wonderful golfing experience awaiting you at King's North, making it a course fit for a king!
