Players familiar with the Myrtle Beach area know that our courses offer less crowded and less hurried playing at prices that encourage multiple rounds per day, all year long. PGA and fund-raising tournaments are increasingly finding host clubs locally. Most local courses are semiprivate, which means they're open to the public and club memberships are available. Membership, of course, offers various benefits and privileges, such as lower fees or preferred tee times. Greens fees vary according to season and location.
Many courses offer practice ranges.
Overall, the region's courses offer an excellent balance between price and playing conditions. Summer rates and discounts for seniors, corporations and groups are commonplace. Many pro shops at the courses rent clubs. Below we describe some of the better courses, judged by overall beauty, location and variety of challenges. We've also included a few independent driving ranges throughout the area, retail shops that offer equipment and repairs and come highly recommended by Insiders, information on golf package and services, and local annual tournaments.
