About
Designed by Gene Hamm, the Burning Ridge 18-hole, par 72 course is what was formerly known as the East Course when the club opened as a 36-hole Myrtle Beach golf course in 1980. When the West course was closed in 2005 and developed for residential housing, the East course, then known as a “difficult” course, underwent extensive renovations. Trees and bunkers were removed, making the course much more playable while remaining “challenging.”
Burning Ridge Golf Club is also known as a woman-friendly course. The women’s tees were not put in as an afterthought, but were carefully placed to provide a fair challenge to our extensive women membership and numerous ladies groups.
Burning Ridge’s popular all-grass practice facility includes a large putting green and a separate pitching and chipping area with a practice bunker, and a three-tier tee box out on the practice range.
