Fairway weeds. Not every hole was this bad, but most holes had some form of this. Even some greens had stuff like this. Photo submitted by blamege on 09/19/2022

178 par 3 from blue Photo submitted by u000008123232 on 04/25/2021
Challenging but not draconian
Solid layout, not surprising given it's an RTJ design. Pricing fluctuates wildly; I played for under $50 but there are days when all GolfNow fees for the same track are $100+. Definitely NOT a $100 course but fertainly eorth $50.
Love trace
If the prices were lower during peak summer I would play this course regularly, challenging, fun and long ⛳️⛳️⛳️⛳️
Fall trip 2023
Stopped to play enroute to our annual fall golf trip. Absolutely a fantastic course. Greens are the best I have ever played. Augusta National quality. Entire course in fantastic shape and extremely well maintained. We arrived 2hrs early and pro-shop did what they could and got us off an hour early. This is a definite inclusion in our spring and fall trips to Myrtle. In fact we might stay for a for a days next trip just to play it a few times.
Nice course, a little abusive because 4-5" ruff
Some holes are a little quirky, outside of the collar for the greens had a 4-5 inch Bermuda ruff, so a little abusive. But overall a nice course.
Carolina Trace Creek
I enjoyed the course. The only complaint is that 17(?) of the 18 holes all had blue flags on the green which according to the sign just outside the clubhouse, means back of the green. But the blue flags were in the front, center, and back of the greens. Not a huge deal for my game, but made it a little more difficult to decide on a club if it wasn’t clear where the flag was. I only recall seeing one other colored flag (white) which was on the 18th hole. And white should have been middle but this white flag was front. Just made it a little more difficult than it probably should have been and definitely didn’t jive with what the sign outside the clubhouse showed - red front, white middle, blue back.
Beautiful day
Had a great day . Fun group and course was in good shape after a week of ultra cold weather. Cannot wait to come back.
Good conditions for a winter golf day. Course was enjoyable and fair but sufficiently challenging as most RTJ courses are.
Great course poor maintenance
I loved the layout but the course from tee and including greens were covered in pine needles and oak leaves. I guess the course doesn’t invest in blowers. We played the Creek course As we were leaving we pasted by the lakes course and didn’t see a single leaf anywhere. Do they treat the creek course as their lost child and don’t take care of it.
Great course
Greens are in shape and staff very friendly. Can’t wait to play here again
Creek course review
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was empty, so pace of play was excellent. However, the cart path was extremely rough with lots of bumps and is in need of repair/replacement. The fairways had some weeds and bare spots while the greens were in good shape.
Interesting but needs work
Good course with a lot of potential. Beautiful day but lots of repair spots and bunkers were a disaster. Unplayable. Lots of debris from a storm but that was two weeks ago. Will try it again in a few weeks as I just moved to the area.
Interesting but needs time
They seem to be still recovering from the effects of the last hurricane. Bunkers are not in good shape and lots of limbs down in first rough. Paths and hole sequence is a little confusing but will try again soon
