Myrtle Beach National's West course offers golfers the biggest challenge out of all the Myrtle Beach National courses. Arnold Palmer pulls out all the stops in this course, making it yet another golfing masterpiece. The course is fair for golfers of all abilities but be prepared for a professional challenge as Palmer throws plenty of doglegs, bunkers, and natural hazards in your way.

The West course has to have something to stand out with considering that its sister course, King's North is one of the most renowned courses on the Grand Strand. Palmer gave the West course a few things to make it stand out including a closing par 3. Measuring 221 yards to the pin, the hole could make or break your scorecard, with water running along the entire left side of the hole.

There are fantastic par 4's on the course including numbers 15 and 16. These holes will give you huge openings from between the trees to allow your tee shot to fly. One of the most memorable holes, hole 14, forces you to stare down into a water carry off the tee with a fairway that takes a sharp dogleg left. Number 17 on the other hand, is a 492 yard par-5 that may fool you. Its short yardage may make it seem like a pushover but beware as danger does lurk on this hole in the form of a huge bunker and a big tree.

With the beautiful Carolina pine forest in your background, West provides a more relaxed golfing setting than most courses in the area. Make sure to not leave this course out of your golfing vacation because West is ready to challenge your mental and physical golfing game!
