Myrtle Beach Golf News & Updates

How do I plan my Second Season trip to the Golf Capital of the World?  No worries – we’ve got you covered! Here are the top three things you need to know to ensure you get the best deal and best golf experience.

While Tiger, Phil, DJ and the rest of the PGA TOUR are wrapping up their season, our Second Season is just getting started – offering the perfect alternative for the vacationing golfer who couldn’t make it in the spring, and whose summer activities were filled with family activities.

The Second Season offers three great reasons for your golf group to make Myrtle Beach your preferred vacation destination as the calendar year winds down.

As the Veterans Golf Classic drew to a close Wednesday, perhaps nowhere else along the Grand Strand was the American spirit and gratitude we all share for our servicemen and servicewomen on fuller display than at Long Bay Golf Club. The course’s surrounding community for years has embraced this event as an opportunity to express their love of country and, more poignantly, say thanks to all those who’ve served.

Whoever said “you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression” doesn’t know the Myrtle Beach golf scene. We’re the Golf Capital of the World for many reasons. One of them is that we don’t have just one peak season to show off award-winning designs and unforgettable stay & play experiences.

We have two, actually.

More than 120 firefighters from around the nation, their families and friends have gathered once more this week at Barefoot Resort & Golf for the 2019 edition of the Myrtle Beach Never Forgets Memorial Golf Outing.

History runs deep at Brick Landing Plantation, where a centuries-old property today boasts a championship golf design that plays scenically along the Intracoastal Waterway. Join us on a video and hole-by-hole photo tour of this beautiful setting.

Warm, sunny skies greeted 400 military servicemen and servicewomen Monday for the kickoff round of the 2019 Veterans Golf Classic, hosted this week on 12 Myrtle Beach-area designs.

The Golf Capital of the World is about more than just its busy spring season. Come September 1, golf’s Second Season on the Grand Strand kicks off, and offers another premium opportunity to enjoy a one-of-a-kind golf getaway. Get a sneak peek at what’s in store!

Our all-star panel – Golf Channel/Sirius XM’s Michael Breed, renowned swing guru Hank Haney, Golfweek’s Geoff Shackelford, Golf Channel/PlayGolfMyrtleBeach.com’s Charlie Rymer, pro golfer/social media personality Paige Spiranac and Golf Tourism Solutions’ Bill Golden – goes in-depth on the second of many topics surrounding the welfare of the game. This discussion talks about distance: as players at all levels are hitting it longer, what does it mean for the future of the sport?

Ted Frick and Stefany King of the Classic Swing Golf School at Legends Golf Resort in Myrtle Beach, S.C. demonstrate a more modern approach to chip shots, and how you can use three different clubs around the green to do so.

After two days of trading body blows with Big Ten Conference foe Ohio State, Illinois delivered the knockout punch to the entire field in Wednesday’s final round at the Myrtle Beach Regional of the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship, hosted by Coastal Carolina University at TPC Myrtle Beach. The five-shot victory earned the Fighting Illini (-25) one of the regional’s five qualifying bids to the NCAA Finals next week in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

When the playing field was announced last week for the Myrtle Beach Regional of the 2019 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship, Western Kentucky Senior Stuart Easton was on the outside looking in. But when one individual competitor withdrew the next day, Easton’s college career was given new life – and with it, one last shot at championship glory.

There’s a Big Ten/ACC battle brewing in the Lowcountry. One day after Illinois sprinted out to a big lead in Round 1, the Fighting Illini leveled off as conference foe Ohio State and ACC power Wake Forest each surged with 7-under par performances in Round 2 of the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Regional Tuesday at TPC Myrtle Beach. Ohio State (-11) now holds a two-stroke lead on Illinois and Wake Forest heading into Wednesday’s final round.

NCAA Myrtle Beach Regional host school Coastal Carolina made a strong statement in Round 1 with the play of Zack Taylor (T2, -4). Hear from Taylor and his coach, Jim Garren, on how much it means to him and his school to represent the Chanticleers as well as he has with his strong play; on how TPC Myrtle Beach is shaping up as a championship venue; and the unique, free opportunity this event presents local spectators to see golf’s rising stars in action.

A decade after its last appearance at TPC Myrtle Beach, the University of Illinois men’s golf team is making the most of its return engagement. Paced by individual leader Adrien Dumont de Chassart (-5) and Michael Feagles’ T2 performance (-4), the Fighting Illini (-9) finished Round 1 of Monday’s Myrtle Beach Regional of the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship five shots clear of the field.
