Lions Paw Golf Links

Myrtle Beach Golf course video player.



Awarded 4 stars by Golf Digest, Lion's Paw features 2 distinct but equally challenging and impressive styles. As with any Willard Byrd design, you will find breathtaking scenery and water lurking everywhere. Expect sharp bends and twists springing up in front of you, an abundance of elevated tee boxes, fairway mounds and pesky sand traps pawing at your golf ball. The front nine incorporates a more traditional layout featuring tall Carolina Pines and a fair amount of natural elevation changes. The back nine embraces the links-style feel of a Scottish course, wide-open with fields of flowers, no trees and nothing to block the sometimes brutal winds. Wild and untamed, don't let the Lion be a thorn in your paw.

This par 72 course measures 7003 yards from the Championship tees, has a slope of 137 and a course rating of 75.0, with Bentgrass greens. This well-designed course offers an exciting round for all those that dare to take the challenge.
