Exceptional golf experiences in The Golf Capital of the World® don’t just happen on their own; they emerge when the staff you meet at our courses go above and beyond to make them special. They’re our “Everyday Heroes of Myrtle Beach Golf,” and we’re proud to feature them here to show you what you can expect the next time you visit their courses.

This week’s nomination comes from Prestwick Country Club, which submitted a staff member with nearly three decades of course experience for consideration.

Four courses. Four legends. One day. And a pontoon boat nobody talks about.

Barefoot Resort & Golf in North Myrtle Beach is one of the most recognizable names in Grand Strand golf. Four championship courses, four prominent designers, a resort address on the Intracoastal Waterway — most golfers know the broad strokes. What they don’t know is the stuff that makes this place genuinely fascinating. Here’s what the scorecard doesn’t tell you.

The Myrtle Beach Golf Hall of Fame welcomed two influential figures into its prestigious ranks when Charlie Floyd and Bob Drum were enshrined during Wednesday’s ceremony at the historic Pine Lakes Country Club.

Created in 2008, the Myrtle Beach Golf Hall of Fame honors individuals who have made an indelible mark on its golf industry. Located at the Pine Lakes Country Club, the Hall of Fame recognizes men and women who have played significant roles in all aspects of the industry’s growth in this area.

Michael Fincham has been playing in the Play Golf Myrtle Beach World Amateur Championship for a while. He’d come close in years past but was never quite able to get over the line. In 2026, it all changed. We sat down with Fincham moments after his World Am win to get his thoughts.

For this edition of “Ask the Pro” we venture north to Sea Trail Golf Resort, home to the signature designs of Willard Byrd, Rees Jones and Dan Maples. From there we get triple-course perspectives on two topics, each from Sea Trail Golf Resort General Manager Jimmy Biggs. With 54 holes from which to choose, Biggs has no shortage of options for identifying the Resort’s top birdie holes and par 3s.

Planning a Myrtle Beach golf package shouldn’t feel like a second job. That’s the whole pitch behind Myrtle Beach Golfmasters: local pros who live and play the Myrtle Beach area, matching golfers with courses, tee times, and lodging that actually fit their trip — not just whatever’s easiest to sell. Two packages on their site show exactly how they pull that off.

Par 3s have a funny reputation. They’re the shortest holes on the scorecard, but ask any Myrtle Beach golfer which hole had the biggest impact on their round, there’s a good chance a par 3 comes up. Architects love using these one-shotters as a canvas for dramatic, photogenic design work — which is exactly why the Myrtle Beach area’s best par 3s are as beautiful as they are terrifying. Here are the ones locals and visitors talk about most.
