Myrtle Beach Golf Courses
The Grand Strand offers many diverse course styles.
Central Myrtle Beach golf courses offer many various styles of play. Several courses offer panoramic views of the Intracoastal Waterway, while others present windswept hills and deep-faced bunkers reminiscent of links style of St. Andrews in Scotland.
The South Strand courses offer many golfers a taste of what Southern Plantation style golfing really is. Surrounded by scenic rivers, marshland views and the draping Spanish moss off of grand oak trees, these courses make for one of the most spectacular settings in golf.
The North End courses are a vacation within your vacation. Crossing into North Carolina, the North End courses get you away from the fast paced scene of central Myrtle Beach and bring you to a tranquil setting that allows you to get away from it all. The only thing you'll be focusing on up here is making that 3 footer to win the hole!
