The only Fred Couples Signature Course on the Grand Strand Carolina National is 27 championship holes comprised of three nine-hole courses, each with its own distinct characteristics and named for the large native birds that can often be seen during a round- the Egret, the Heron, & the Ibis. The course winds through low country marshes and by the Lockwood Folly River. 400-year-old majestic oaks, large waste bunkers and manicured undulating large greens await your challenge

No fault to the course but we got drenched through 5 and quit after 6. Course looked like a good track, little disappointed they didn’t offer a drink credit or anything after only playing a few holes. When we got back in, it seemed the staff pretty much called it a day too as there wasn’t anyone around to talk to besides the guy who pulled the bag (alone seemingly).
Beautiful course.

The greens were in horrible condition. Sand piles were present on 16 of 18 holes. They should never have allowed play with conditions like that.
