Choose From Over 100 Myrtle Beach Golf Courses
Novices and expert golfers will enjoy the huge variety of Myrtle Beach golf courses.
The Grand Strand of South Carolina isn't only famous for its great beaches and family fun. This picturesque area of the southern U.S. is one of the premiere destinations for golfing vacations.
It's no wonder. The town of Myrtle Beach and its surrounding area features more than 100 courses. Thousands travel there each year, especially in the spring and fall, to check out these fine Myrtle Beach golf courses.
Booking a Golf Vacation
Because golf is such an important part of a Myrtle Beach vacation, the town boasts plenty of "golf experts" eager to help you plan your golf vacation.
These experts are well-versed in all the courses in the area and can help determine which are best for you by quizzing you in regards to your golfing experience. Because the courses are quite varied, there's sure to be several that fit your level of expertise.
Once you've found a Myrtle Beach golf course booking agent (many are available on the Internet), determine how often you wish to play and discuss the courses that fit your abilities.
Many avid golfers play more than one round a day. Others will just play in the morning and, during the remainder of the day, enjoy the beach or the other attractions in and around Myrtle Beach.
Accommodations
These golf vacation travel agents can also help you secure accommodations that feature the amenities you desire, such as indoor heated pools, hot tubs, onsite spas and fitness centers, or five-star restaurants.
There are a number of different kinds of accommodations available in Myrtle Beach. Choose from beautiful golf course villas that offer close proximity to that first tee or beachfront accommodations for a great view of the Atlantic Ocean.
Types of accommodations vary from basic hotels to luxury resorts to rental condos or private homes. All offer something a little different.
If you don't like the hubbub of a crowded hotel, you may want to consider a private home rental or a condo in a small facility. Many offer the same amenities of hotels or resorts, such as pools or hot tubs, but are certainly quieter and more private.
If you do, however, choose a hotel or resort, you'll find that quite a few of them boast their own golf professional who will be eager to help golfers schedule tee times before arriving in Myrtle Beach.
All-Inclusive Discount Golf Vacations
Most will find that booking a Myrtle Beach vacation is less expensive when it includes everything you'll need, not just reservations for Myrtle Beach golf courses.
Consider finding a company that will take care of all your vacation needs including golf reservations, lodging, additional attractions, and even, in some cases, dinner reservations.
This saves lots of money and enables you to travel without worrying about excess additional costs. Before you even leave for your vacation, you'll have a solid idea of what the trip will cost.
When to Go
Because the heat and humidity in the southern United States can be quite unbearable during the months of July and August, many golfers choose either the spring or fall months to try out the many Myrtle Beach golf courses available to them.
From April to early June and September to November, the weather is much more tolerable and usually quite beautiful. If you find, however, that you must travel to Myrtle Beach in the summertime, schedule your tee times for early morning.
Golfing in the early evening is also a comfortable alternative, as it stays light until around 9 pm but the sun isn't quite so hot.
Getting There
Myrtle Beach has its own international airport, serviced by most major airlines. Travelers may also choose to fly to Charleston, rent a car, and drive up the coast to Myrtle Beach.
