$$

Indigo Creek’s roots are planted in the deep Lowcountry, just minutes from the seaside town of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. This course was built over an old rice plantation, offering large, mossy oak trees and creeks scattered throughout that accentuate the natural beauty of the landscape. Get ready to encounter plenty of H₂0, as 13 of the 18 holes feature a water hazard that golfers will find themselves bargaining with while playing this challenging track.

One of the more women- and junior-friendly courses in the area, Indigo Creek offers four separate sets of tees for all levels of golfers to try out. Depending on the type of challenge you seek, you can make the course as easy or as difficult as you please. Designed by Willard Byrd, the back tees play from 6,747 yards with a layout that rewards well-paced drives and punishes bad ones. Sloping fairways help decent tee shots while an abundance of doglegs, out-of-bounds stakes lining the trees and bunkers lay in wait. If you’re lucky enough, you may even see an alligator or two tucked along the banks of ponds or resting near the tee boxes!

Be sure to check out the merchandise inside the pro shop, as Indigo Creek offers an abundance of apparel, accessories and equipment options. Given three stars by Golf Digest in its "Places to Play” guide, Indigo Creek does not disappoint. A combination of affordability paired with ease of play makes this course a standout amid an abundance of courses in the Murrells Inlet area. Worth the few extra miles of driving from Myrtle Beach, Indigo Creek’s charm is evident both on the course with Willard Byrd’s expert craftsmanship of each hole, and after the round in the surrounding local area where waterfront dining options are endless!
