King’s North at Myrtle Beach National

King’s North at Myrtle Beach National is Arnold Palmer’s signature design on the Grand Strand and one of the most beloved public golf courses in the region — a bold, dramatic layout that The King personally redesigned in 1996 to create one of Myrtle Beach’s most talked-about rounds. The course is famous above all for The Gambler — the par-5 6th hole, which features a thrilling island fairway that demands a calculated risk-reward decision from every player. Choose conservatively and you’re safely on the mainland; go for it and you’re rewarded with a dramatic short iron into the green. The hole has made King’s North’s reputation and ensures that no round here is soon forgotten. Beyond The Gambler, King’s North delivers 17 more holes of thoughtful, exciting championship golf built on a generous piece of property that offers both wide-open meadow holes and tighter tree-lined corridors. The course is part of the Founders Collection at Myrtle Beach National, a three-course complex on Highway 501 inland from the beach strip. Ranked 9th on the Grand Strand by area PGA professionals and in the midst of an ongoing renovation program that has consistently moved it up rankings in recent years. Multiple tee boxes make it playable for all skill levels while still challenging low handicappers.
