What is Prince Creek?
Prince Creek is not one subdivision with one HOA and one home style. It is a large master-planned community in Murrells Inlet built around TPC Myrtle Beach, South Carolina’s Tournament Players Club course. Residents live among lakes, conservation land, golf corridors, and internal roads designed for cars and golf carts.
That scale is the main buying fact. Two homes both labeled “Prince Creek” can differ in gates, dues, rental rules, school assignment, and resale buyer. Shop by village first, then by price.
Home Guide Myrtle Beach lists Prince Creek and the surrounding Murrells Inlet market so relocating buyers can compare sections in one place instead of treating the whole map as a single neighborhood.
Who Prince Creek homes are built for
Retirees and pre-retirees. Many buyers want single-level living, a first-floor primary suite, a screened porch, and predictable amenities. 55+ pockets such as Seasons at Prince Creek West and StoneGate add clubhouse programming and, in some cases, lawn care in the dues.
Families. Larger single-family sections offer 3–5 bedroom homes, trails, playgrounds, and access to well-known Horry County schools. Confirm the school zone by street address before you offer. Parts of this large community are commonly associated with the St. James cluster.
Golfers and second-home buyers. TPC Myrtle Beach and the Dustin Johnson Golf School sit at the center of the master plan. Golf-view lots cost more and can take longer to sell if the view is the only feature.
Investors. Prince Creek is primarily a primary-home and second-home community. Short-term rental rules vary by village and are often restricted. Verify lease minimums in the HOA documents before counting on rental income.

HOA fees and maintenance in Prince Creek
Prince Creek uses a layered HOA model: a master community layer plus a village association. Two homes with the same list price can have very different monthly costs.
Before you write an offer, request:
- Master association dues and village dues
- Exactly what each fee covers (gates, pools, lawn, irrigation, trash, internet, clubhouse)
- Rental policy and minimum lease term
- Special-assessment history and reserve study
- Architectural rules for fences, paint, parking, and exterior changes
55+ sections such as Seasons often include more services in the monthly fee. Open single-family streets may have lower dues and more owner maintenance. Compared with oceanfront condos, Prince Creek dues are usually community-and-grounds fees rather than a high-rise insurance stack — but assessments still happen. Read the resale package.
Schools and commute times
Schools: Much of Prince Creek is associated with Horry County’s St. James schools (elementary through high school). Because the master plan is large, verify the assigned schools by the exact street address.
Typical drive times (off-peak; add time in peak tourist months):
- Murrells Inlet MarshWalk: about 10 minutes
- Garden City / Huntington Beach area: about 10–15 minutes
- Myrtle Beach and Market Common: about 20–30 minutes
- Myrtle Beach International Airport: about 25–35 minutes
Prince Creek is close to the beach, not on the beach. That is the trade most buyers here are making.
How to buy a Prince Creek home without overpaying
- Pick the village first. Price per square foot across the whole community is a weak comparison.
- Decide single-level vs. two-story before you tour.
- Get an insurance quote early. Inland of the ocean is not exempt from wind deductibles or flood-zone questions.
- Treat HOA dues as part of the payment.
- Read rental rules even if you plan to live there.
- Inspect drainage, irrigation, and rear privacy.
- Drive 707 and U.S. 17 in season.
- Use a buyer agent who already works relocating retirees. Jerry Pinkas Real Estate Experts focus on carrying costs, HOA risk, and neighborhood fit — not just list price.
