Early morning tee time on a weekday was quite enjoyable. Not particularly long, but challenging course with a lot of right dog-legs. Everything was well maintained and in good shape for a mid-March round. One of the best bang for your buck golf courses in the Myrtle Beach area.

I really wanted to like Blackmoor Golf Course. The layout is decent, the fairways and greens are in fair shape, and it has the potential to be an enjoyable round. We played on November 7th, 2025 we had a group of 6 and called ahead to play together. Said we should be fine. Unfortunately, all of that got overshadowed by one thing: the attitude of the ranger. From the start, his tone and behavior were unnecessarily aggressive. Instead of offering helpful guidance or maintaining the flow of play like a good ranger should, he seemed to go out of his way to be rude and confrontational. He spoke down to players, barked orders, and carried himself like he was looking for an argument. Golf is supposed to be relaxing — not a battle of patience with an angry staff member. It’s one thing to enforce pace of play, but it’s another to treat paying guests with complete disrespect. Everyone in our group left irritated, which is the opposite of what a day on the course should feel like. For what you pay to play here, you’d expect basic professionalism and some courtesy, not an attitude that ruins the round for everyone. Blackmoor really needs to take a hard look at how their staff interacts with players. The ranger’s behavior was completely out of line and reflected poorly on the entire facility. Until that’s addressed, I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone looking for a pleasant or welcoming experience. There are plenty of other nearby courses that treat golfers with respect — and that’s where I’ll be spending my time and money from now on.

★☆☆☆☆ Great course and friendly front staff, but a condescending ranger ruined our visit. We booked 18 holes for 6 guys to tee off around 2:30 pm on 11/7/25 on our Myrtle Beach boys’ trip, choosing this course because of how “nice” it was supposed to be. Shortly before arrival we were told they close at 5:30 pm, so our 18 would be cut to 9. Frustrating, but we accepted it and still checked in. The cart/bag attendant was excellent, the front desk was friendly, we paid for our tee times, and headed out. The issue started on the green of hole 1. A course ranger rolled up and immediately barked that we couldn’t play as a six and had to split, threatening to shut off our carts so we’d have to walk back. He added, “I don’t care what you were told,” and “I don’t know where you play, but that’s not how things work around here.” The tone was condescending, like he was talking down to us, despite us being paying customers who were just trying to enjoy a quick 9. For the record, we were not falling behind—we were maintaining pace, and a group was right behind us without an issue. Pace wasn’t the problem; attitude was. Had he spoken respectfully, we would’ve split without an issue. As he left, he kept grumbling and making a scene under his breath—throwing a little fit while we stood there in disbelief. Shortly thereafter, the beverage cart attendant came by, and she was amazing—she apologized for what happened and treated us with the professionalism we expected from the start. The course itself was in good shape, and most of the staff we met were great. Management, here’s how to fix this: 1. Don’t schedule 18-hole tee times around 2:30 pm if you close at 5:30 pm. Publish clear last-18 and last-9 start times and honor them. 2. Communicate the no-sixsome policy at booking and again at check-in so guests aren’t blindsided on the first green. 3. Train rangers to enforce rules with basic respect. There’s a right way to deliver a message; threats and condescension aren’t it. Bottom line: nice course and friendly front-of-house, but one ranger’s aggressive, dismissive approach soured an out-of-state trip we were excited about. We won’t be back.

Called to get a tee time for the following day and the guy was super rude. He ask if I was going to play in the rain. Rain wasn’t even forecasted till afternoon. I wasn’t calling a meteorologist for the forecast. I was calling to get a tee time to spend time with my son. Not the first time I had a problem with rude guy at the checking people in at the clubhouse.

We played on November 7th, 2025, with a group of six. We even called ahead to confirm it would be fine to play together, and were told it was no problem. Unfortunately, all of that got overshadowed by one thing: the attitude of the ranger. From the start, his tone and behavior were unnecessarily aggressive. Instead of offering helpful guidance or maintaining the flow of play like a good ranger should, he seemed to go out of his way to be rude and confrontational. He barked orders at us, talked down to us, and carried himself like he was looking for an argument. It’s one thing to enforce pace of play, but it’s another to treat paying guests with complete disrespect. (Also, please check your records- our group was at least 15 minutes ahead of pace play) I was especially disappointed because I am a local resident and am the one who recommended Blackmoor to my five friends visiting from out of town. We were all looking forward to a great day, and instead left frustrated from this very poor experience. For the price you pay to play here, you’d expect a basic level of courtesy and professionalism. Blackmoor really needs to address the behavior of the ranger that was working on the afternoon of November 7th, 2025. The ranger’s behavior was completely out of line and left a lasting negative impression on all of us. Until that’s addressed, I can’t recommend this course to anyone looking for a pleasant or welcoming golf experience. There are way too many other nearby courses that treat golfers with respect—and that’s where I’ll be spending my time and money from now on.
