International Club of Myrtle Beach
A Willard Byrd design in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, International Club of Myrtle Beach blends Lowcountry scenery, player-friendly fairways, strategic bunkering, water hazards, and one of the most relaxed South Strand golf settings.
A quiet Murrells Inlet round with a polished Lowcountry feel.
International Club of Myrtle Beach sits in Murrells Inlet, about 15 miles south of Myrtle Beach, giving golf groups a round that feels removed from the busier center of the Grand Strand. The setting is part of the appeal: maritime forest, wetlands, palms, ponds, native grasses, and neighborhood corridors all give the course a calm South Strand rhythm.
Designed by Willard Byrd and opened in 2000, International Club is a par 72 layout that stretches to 6,857 yards from the back tees. The course gives players multiple tee options, wide fairways in the right places, and enough water and sand to keep the round strategic without making it feel overly demanding.
The course has long carried a reputation as a value-friendly Myrtle Beach tee time because it combines scenery, playability, and challenge without feeling crowded or overbuilt. Pines, oaks, native grasses, bunkers, and water frame much of the routing, while the greens put a premium on distance control and smart approach angles.
For a 2026 Myrtle Beach golf trip, International Club works especially well for groups staying on the south end, players looking for a quieter course day, and foursomes that want a round with personality, good value, and enough decision-making to keep matches lively.
Lowcountry setting
International Club feels tucked away from the beach traffic, with maritime trees, wetlands, native grasses, ponds, and quiet corridors shaping much of the round.
Player-friendly Byrd design
The layout gives golfers room to play, but fairway bunkers, water hazards, and green-side shaping reward players who think through angles instead of just swinging away.
International character
Each hole includes a country-themed plaque, giving the course a memorable detail that separates it from a standard resort round.

How International Club plays.
International Club is at its best when players treat it as an angles course instead of a pure distance test. Several holes reward placement over power, with tee shots asking golfers to favor the correct side of the fairway before attacking pins.
The greens can stretch deep, so pin position matters. A safe shot to the middle is not always a safe two-putt, especially when the flag is tucked on a back shelf or protected by water and sand. Wedges and mid-irons need a little more homework than the calm setting suggests.
The stronger holes use water, bunkers, and doglegs to create choices. Some tee shots invite the aggressive line, while others ask for a three wood, long iron, or conservative target. That keeps the course friendly for the group but interesting for the low handicapper trying to press a match.
