The course

What Panthers Run Golf Links plays like.

Designed by Tim Cate and opened in 1999, this course features a scenic layout with marshlands and mature pines defining its character. The fairways are generous, but the strategic bunkering and undulating greens demand precision. The par 5 10th hole, with its challenging water carry, stands out as a memorable test. Known for its well maintained Bermuda grass, the course suits both seasoned golfers and those seeking a strategic challenge.

Would have been higher but greens were not up to par

Jimmy, Pamplin
★★ ★★★

Greens were not in good shape and had to ride cart paths only for 9 holes when course was not wet. they may over seeded but course was not wet and morning was no different than the afternoon. Service on and off the course was good

Kendall W, Pamplin
★★ ★★★

The fairways and tees were in fine condition. The greens however were not. They were very brittle and bumpy, it was difficult to put on a line as they did not roll true or consistent.

Nothing special about this course. Average at best for Myrtle Beach.

John, Edmond

Mark, Alexandria
★★ ★★★

Poor condition

Bradley, Herkimer

Panthers Run was very slightly better than Lions Paw. There was still quite a bit of Poa in the greens

Wesley, Kernersville
★★★★ ★

Greens were a bit burned on some holes but overall its still one of the jewels of NC golf.

John, Whitesboro
★★★★★

Great course. Great shape staff was great and very helpful. Recommend this course

Dave, Frostburg
★★★★ ★

Nice track pretty good shape

Andrew, Orillia
★★★ ★★

Greens a little rough

Jon, Sanford
★★ ★★★

Several of the greens were bad shape and needed to be aerated, fertilized and over seeded.

John D, Gastonia
★★★★ ★

Great course but clubhouse management could be a lot better. We arrived an hour before our 8:30 tee time, hoping to get some coffee, a bite to eat, and some range time to warm up. No one had arrived yet to staff the snack bar, and they had to search for someone to help us. So we lost time that we wanted to spend at the range. We were also told we couldn't take the cart over to the range, which seemed odd, so we just skipped our warmup. At lunch, between our 2 rounds, it took 40 mins to get a couple of hot dogs and fried pickles. The gentleman behind the counter seemed confused and was very slow. Seems like they just need to improve or increase staffing.

Cindy, Amissville
★★★ ★★

greens were bad

Jeffrey, Kelly
★★ ★★★

Greens were not in the best shape. General condition of this course is getting worse. This I would consider to be a good $25.00 course.

Samuel, Stanley
★★★ ★★

Several greens had problems

Bob, Charlotte
★★★★ ★

Carts paths need repair

Doral, Richmond
★★★★★

Nice course

Gary, Chesapeake
★★★ ★★

Very dried conditions, needed more manual watering. Several greens in disrepair.

Mark, Newington
★★ ★★★

Poor condition. Needs fertilizer and water.

Don, Elon
★ ★★★★

Weeds in the greens..... course in terrible shape. Won't ever play again....

Timothy, Lauderdale by the Sea
★ ★★★★

Course conditions terrible.

Timothy, Lauderdale by the Sea
★ ★★★★

Course was in terrible shape. Big disappointment but consistent with its reviews.

Jeff, San Diego
★★ ★★★

Very disappointed in the condition of the course. Some of the greens had bare/dead spot and crab grass spots. Overall condition of the course was surprising based upon previous times we had played the course. Would not play again.

Rick, Louisville
★ ★★★★

Horrible conditions (greens and fairways)

Dave, Neshanic Station
★ ★★★★

Worst course conditions I've ever seen, ever. Greens baked and brown, no grass. Fairways were just mowed weeds. One of our carts actually died. Will never go back. Staff was not friendly (were actually surprised at my disgust), just a horrible experience. This course should be closed.

Todd, Bristow
★ ★★★★

Course is in terrible shape. Greens are diseased and brown with crabgrass stumps. Bunkers are uncared for. Fairly interesting layout ruined by poor condition. Staff is either in denial, told to deny/deny/deny condition of course when confronted, or totally incompetent and do not recognize how poor the condition of the course is. We had another 9 holes scheduled following the initial 18 and declined to play - that bad. Will not play here again.

William, Trinity
★ ★★★★

Terrible condition. Probably one of the worst conditioned courses I have played on anywhere. Greens were literally brown and diseased. Fairways were weeds. It is a shame as several years ago this was a decent course.

Todd, Nokesville
★ ★★★★

Terrible condition. Greens were the worst I have played in all the times coming to Myrtle Beach; clumps of crab grass everywhere on the greens. Every single green was bad. Fairways were not good either.

Donald, Mobile
★★★ ★★

Greens and areas of the fairway were in bad shape. Lots of weeds growing on the greens.

Stephan, Blythewood
★★★ ★★

Not memorable

John, Providence
★ ★★★★

Course is a nice layout, but in terrible condition. Greens are brown with disease with crabgrass stumps throughout. Fairways are weed choked and bunkers unkept. Highlight if staff was cart lady who was friendly and present. Starter at bag drop was officious and took his position way too serious - retire please. Staff is either oblivious to course condition, under instruction to deny/deny/deny, or have no idea what they are doing. Do not go here. Not worth the trek.

William, Trinity
★★ ★★★

Poor shape also

David, Dunkirk
★★★ ★★

Disappointed in the greens, slower than the other times I played the course.

Jack, Greensboro
★★★ ★★

It's a great layout. Course was little rough due to a tornado that hit a month before. Probably should have switched courses or been advised too.

Anthony, Conway
★ ★★★★

Over seeded & disappointing. Should not be scheduled This close to over seeding. Fairways & tees all needed cut.

Thomas, Canonsburg
★★★★★

Another great course. An enjoyable golf experience.

William, Glenmoore
★ ★★★★

Horrible condition long shaggy fair ways and greens place looked neglected.

Steve, Lenexa
★ ★★★★

Course had just been overseeded with Rye, fairways were long and very wet. Greens were a mess. Rough wand around greens had more weeds than grass will never play this course again.

gregg, High Point
★★ ★★★

Terrible shape and no activity to improve course

Bruce, Burlington
★★★ ★★

Very wet and not from rain, balls constantly plugged in fairways, rough, and around greens. The greens were in bad condition and slow. Lost more golf balls in play than we did by hitting errant shots

Ricky, Taylors
★ ★★★★

The course maintenance was horrible. The course itself was in horrible shape. I would've rather stayed home and played the courses in Pittsburgh. For this to be a "mecca" for golf trips I was highly disappointed and have no plans on returning to the Big Cat courses or to North Carolina.

Walter, Monroeville
★★★ ★★

Greens were good, rough was bad and traps were bad.

SHANE, Salisbury
★★ ★★★

Fairway and greens need help!

Richard, Baltimore
★★★★★

Course was in great shape. Played challenging but fair.

Christopher, Severn
★★★★★

Great shape and layout.

Patrick, MCLEAN
★★★★ ★

Didn't drain well from day before rain.

Mike, Tavares
★★ ★★★

Fairway was ok, but the rough area and tee boxes were full of weeds. Greens were slow with many bare areas.

Paul, Bluffton
★★ ★★★

The course was heavily saturated. Some greens were flooded from watering. The greens were very slow and in bad shape the Bermuda grass has not come in yet.

Steve, Powell
★★ ★★★

Driving range was closed. No explanation given which was odd. Bunkers need replacing. Greens were horrible

Mickael, Roanoke
★★★ ★★

I know there was 5 days of rain prior to our arrival. I thought the layout of this course was really nice. Unique looking track with some challenging holes. The issue was the greens looked they hadn't been mowed in days. The bunkers, which there were a lot, needed to be raked. The hard sand and water trenches made the bunkers unplayable. The unmowed greens made putting a disaster. Would love to have the opportunity to play this one again when it was in the right condition.

Steve, Sandy Ridge
★★★ ★★

Greens were terrible. Tee boxes were soaking wet.

James Patrick, ACWORTH
★★★★ ★

Was better than expected after first day. Before was in line with lion's Paw

Mark, Pittsburgh
★★★★ ★

Greens a little rough

Charles, Suwanee
