Myrtle Beach National (King's North)
Myrtle Beach, SC — The Waikoloa Beach Resort Kings' Course, a collaborative design by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, is a championship layout known for its strategic challenges and its unique integration with the ancient lava fields of the Kohala Coast. Weiskopf's design philosophy often emphasized the reintroduction of drivable par-4s and creating courses that demand thoughtful shot-making, a characteristic evident throughout the Kings' Course. He famously described it as 'a second shot course, much like Augusta,' highlighting the importance of approach play. The course is consistently ranked among the best golf challenges at Waikoloa, offering a distinct contrast to the resort's Beach Course. The 16th hole, a par-4, is considered the toughest on the course, featuring an immense bunker on the right side of the fairway and water down the left. The finishing 18th hole, a 500-yard par-5 named Lanakila Ali'i (Kings' Victory), is a double dogleg left that provides a dramatic and rewarding conclusion. The Kings' Course offers a memorable and challenging round for golfers seeking a strategic and visually striking experience.
