Outdoor recreation just got a whole lot more exciting along the Grand Strand. A brand-new 18-hole disc golf course set inside a cypress forest has officially opened in North Myrtle Beach, giving locals and visitors alike a fresh way to enjoy the area’s natural beauty.

The course, reported by both the Myrtle Beach Sun News and WMBF, is tucked among towering cypress trees — a setting that promises a one-of-a-kind playing experience unlike the typical open-field disc golf layout. Whether you’re a seasoned disc golfer or picking up a disc for the first time, the wooded terrain adds a scenic and challenging twist to every round.

Disc golf has been one of the fastest-growing recreational sports in the country, and the addition of a dedicated 18-hole course in North Myrtle Beach gives the community a free or low-cost outdoor activity the whole family can enjoy. Playing through a cypress forest also means players get to soak in some of the Lowcountry’s most distinctive natural scenery right in their own backyard.

The opening is a welcome boost for outdoor enthusiasts on the Strand, rounding out the area’s already impressive lineup of parks, trails, and green spaces. So grab your discs, head into the trees, and see what North Myrtle Beach’s newest attraction has to offer.
