Prince Creek is the master-planned heart of inland Murrells Inlet. Spanning roughly 2,800 acres along the Highway 707 corridor, it was developed around TPC Myrtle Beach, the Tom Fazio-designed course that opened in 1999, serves as the community’s golf anchor, and is home to the Dustin Johnson Golf School. What distinguishes Prince Creek is breadth: it is an umbrella over many separate neighborhoods, each with its own builder, price band, age profile, and amenity structure.
Understanding Prince Creek means understanding its neighborhoods. Seasons at Prince Creek West is a gated 55+ community with its own amenity center and a boat launch to Collins Creek. Linksbrook, built by a national production builder, draws younger families and value buyers. Collins Creek Landing, Bellwood Landing, Highwood, and the other enclaves each sit at different points on the price and lifestyle spectrum, from gated to open, single-family to active-adult.
TPC Myrtle Beach gives every neighborhood a shared anchor, and a golf-cart-friendly street network ties the enclaves together so residents can reach the amenity centers, Collins Creek, and the course without leaving the community. That continuity is the practical payoff of the master plan: the same household can move from a family home to an active-adult section as their needs change without leaving Prince Creek — an unusual flexibility on the south Strand.

Pricing across Prince Creek is a function of which neighborhood you buy in. Choosing the right neighborhood matters more than the corridor-wide average, since two homes within the same broad price range can carry very different HOA dues, amenity access, and rental rules depending on their section. The right first step is choosing the neighborhood that fits your stage of life, then shopping within it. See the relocation guide for a broader value context.
Prince Creek sits on the Horry County side of Murrells Inlet and is served by Horry County Schools, generally within the St. James attendance area on Highway 707: St. James Elementary, St. James Intermediate, St. James Middle, and St. James High School. Because Horry County redraws zones as new schools open, confirm the current zone for any specific address with the district before buying.
Prince Creek is made up of several neighborhoods, each with its own HOA, amenities, and community rules. Some sections, including Seasons at Prince Creek West, are gated and have additional dues.
