The King's North at Myrtle Beach National Golf Club opened for play in 1996. The course was designed by Arnold Palmer.

The North Course was completely redesigned in 1995 by Arnold Palmer, and is now known as the King's North Course. There are lakes, ponds, and marshlands coming into play on sixteen holes. There are two famous holes on this course: Number six, a par-5 that is dedicated to Kenny Rogers and named "The Gambler" in honor of his famous song. "The Gambler" tempts golfers with a shortcut to the green via an island fairway. (Two great shots allow a chance to eagle). The second signature hole is number 12, a 140-yard, par 3, requiring a shot from an elevated tee over water, to an island green with a bunker on the right side and two bunkers on the left. With over 40 sand traps guarding the fairway on Hole 18 you can understand why golfers think of this course as being not only beautiful, but also challenging. Carts are mandatory on the King's North Course.
