But I think the layouts are terrfific, particularly the Moorland and Heathland courses.

If you are already set to play at Barefoot, I would suggest you play all of your rounds there. The Fazio, Love and Dye courses are all worth playing. The Dye is under  appreciated IMO.

If you are looking to play elsewhere, I highly recommend the Dunes Club.

Prestwick is also worth playing. It has a wide variety of holes.

A nice set of courses close to Barefoot that has not been mentioned are the two courses at Grande Dunes.

Here are links to photos of the courses mentioned in this thread:

I am also shocked by the negative comments on oyster bay.  I played it and loved it.  Have also played moorland and prestwick.  Enjoyed both of those but both are very challenging.

I just was in Mrytle Beach this past May and I was impressed with True Blue and Barefoot Dye! The two of those courses are a little tough (From the Tips) but they have some very cool holes that are picture worthy! Barefoot Dye have two very long and hard finishing holes 9 & 18 so have fun, I played them at par and felt like I gained 2 strokes!

Played Oyster Bay and Barefoot Love last Wednesday and Thursday. Loved the Love course and enjoyed OB. Both places had fantastic greens, but love was in better shape overall. I would recommend both to anyone headed down. Customer service was top notch at both courses- I know they do it for everyone, but oyster bay even gave me $20 off plus breakfast, lunch, and two beers included in the price. Made me feel all warm and fuzzy.

I've been to MB once, we played 4 courses while there. We played Possum Trot and Wicked Stick, I thought Possum Trot was very nice for what we played to play. Wicked Stick was also fun. What I like about MB was that most of the courses were fairly inexpensive to play because there were so many. I would love to go back and vacation there again. IMO, the only thing going for MB is the golf, my family and friends didn't care for the beach, ocean or restaurants. Like I said, its been a long time since I last went, so it may be different now.

Living fairly close to MB, I've played quite a few courses in that area.  If you want to play a nice, relaxing round on a nice course, check out Thistle in Sunset Beach, NC.  I had a great time there.  The greens were a little slow compared to most that I played, but it's a nice course with some great scenery and nice wide fairways if you're not the greatest off the tee, it's pretty forgiving.  I also enjoy playing Wild Wing.  TPC is OK, but it's definitely not on my list of "Must Play' places when I go down to Myrtle.

I'm going to play The River Club in a couple weeks, so hopefully I'll have a good review of it as well.

Was in MB last week and played Legends Moorland and World Golf Tour.  Moorland was in fantastic shape and fun to play.  Its P.B. Dye intimidating with deep bunkers, mounds and water.  $64 included golf, cart, breakfast, lunch and 2 drink coupons.  Pace of play was terrible, as we had to wait 45 mins making the turn and it was a 5 hour round.

World Golf Tour's greens were in terrible shape and not worth the $79-$115 greens fee they charge.  The rest of the course was in decent shape, but its frustrating to play on greens where you have no chance at making a putt!
