Course Description
You'll admire the incredible beauty of Blackmoor. The course was built on the historic Longwood Plantation, whose heritage as a successful ante-bellum rice plantation along the majestic Waccamaw River accounts for much of its charm. The 18 championship holes exist in harmony with flowing lakes, moss-draped oaks, lofty pines, and the ever changing cypress. The scenic lay of the land is not all you'll capture. The sensation of catching a glimpse of a wild turkey, graceful deer, or alligator will take your breath away.

The mood at Blackmoor is so tranquil and the atmosphere so serene that you'll marvel at the songs of the inhabitant birds and the echoing breeze as it travels down the river. Experiencing Blackmoor is more than just playing a round of golf, it is revitalization to the senses. The maintenance of the fairways and greens is as magnificent as the surroundings. Attention to detail is noticeable from tee to green. For cold weather play, the course is kept green from tree line to tree line to give a refreshing view for those from snow covered northern climates. Unparalleled fairways focuses your attention on one hole at a time. "hit every shot in your bag" is Gary Players idea of how to play golf...and Blackmoor fits that description to a tee.

Many challenging holes of risk and reward. Cut the dogleg and be on the green... fall short and you're in the marsh. Moderate undulating and average to large greens and plenty of greenside bunkers. Several holes have dual fairways. Some of the shorter holes are the most challenging as you have to decide to "go for it" or lay back. This is a thinking man's course. Go brain dead and record a snowman. Most fairways are average in width with few fairway bunkers. 400 year old oaks and majestic pines border most of the fairways.
