UPDATE: King’s North Renovations Continue Full Steam Ahead

In the first part of its two-year, two-phase renovation, King’s North at Myrtle Beach National is modernizing the front nine of its Arnold Palmer signature design this summer, with the first phase work set to be completed by October 2024 and phase two work set to begin in summer 2025.

Check out the hole-by-hole, “before” and “during” renovation comparisons to get a visual sense of the scope of work currently being performed on Holes 1-9.

Phase one will include renovation to the greens, which will be restored to their original size and reclaiming 30,000 square feet of putting surface in the process. Pin positions previously eliminated by encroachment will be regained, and new greens will feature TifEagle ultradwarf bermudagrass.

Every bunker on the course is being renovated with Capillary Concrete bunker liners installed, which will eliminate washouts and improve drainage. New bunker sand is also be installed.

Changes to the layout itself will place an emphasis on reimagining the green surrounds. Mounding that currently limits approach and recovery shots is being removed to create a layout that can be attacked both through the air and along the ground.
