Fortunately, you have a lot of quality options who are incentivized to make sure your next trip to the game’s most popular destination is the best one yet. As you prepare for your next vacation to “The Golf Capital of the World,” here are four package companies that might be the perfect fit for your group!

It’s the penultimate stop in his “Breaking Par” journey, and Charlie Rymer is feeling nostalgic as he visits the Palmetto Course at Myrtlewood Golf Club. Join him as he looks back on some fond memories of previous visits from his youth, and tries to card a birdie here on the par-3 17th!

The “Big Cats” of Ocean Ridge Plantation feature three designs of master architect Tim Cate, including his work at Panther’s Run Golf Links. Join us as we explore this adventurous track in both our video feature and a hole-by-hole photo gallery.

Nearly 600 veterans made the trek to the Grand Strand golf links this week for a fun-filled gathering of competition and camaraderie at the 41st Annual National Retired Military Golf Classic (NRMGC), a 72-hole event hosted by six award-winning courses in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Three courses to go, and Charlie Rymer has one location for two of them in his “Breaking Par” journey. Here at Myrtlewood Golf Club, “The Big Timer” is taking on the par-4 finishing hole at the PineHills Course. Let’s see if there’s another red number in the cards!

It’s been all smiles across “The Golf Capital of The World” this past week. The Myrtle Beach golf community has been abuzz on social media, with players sharing their favorite moments and memories from the past week. From the 41st Annual National Retired Military Golf Classic taking center stage across several top Myrtle Beach courses to casual rounds with friends and everything in between, this week has truly had it all. Let’s dive into the action, courtesy of our great friends across Facebook and Instagram!

Our latest stops along the Myrtle Beach golf scene included two courses that have undergone recent upgrades, Brunswick Golf Club and Prestwick Country Club. Brunswick completed its 27-hole bunker renovation plan in early spring that included new drainage, shaping, new sand, and removal of several unnecessary traps, while Prestwick is entering a summer phase of upgrades after completing extensive winter work on its front nine.

It’s a simple but effective drill that’s a favorite of Stefany King at Classic Swing Golf School at Legends Golf Resort in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Practice this three-step sequence, and your days of topping the ball are a thing of the past!

It’s another Intracoastal Waterway setting, and a beauty: the par-5 8th hole at Tidewater Golf Club, where Charlie Rymer’s trying for more than just birdie. Can “The Big Timer” get home in two, and give himself a prime opportunity for eagle as he hits the final stretch of his “Breaking Par” journey?

Despite all the attention to “The Golf Capital of the World,” the northern end of the Grand Strand golf scene occasionally gets overlooked. The stretch from Little River to just across the state line into Brunswick County, N.C., is home to many outstanding courses, chief among them are Glen Dornoch Waterway Golf Links, Leopard’s Chase Golf Club and Tiger’s Eye Golf Links.

At Barefoot Resort & Golf, renowned designer Tom Fazio put his one-of-a-kind stamp on an award-winning golf complex. Join us on a dynamic video and hole-by-hole photo tour of the Fazio Course at Barefoot Resort & Golf and its Lowcountry design.

Three of the next four stops in Charlie Rymer’s “Breaking Par” journey are situated along the Intracoastal Waterway. The first is at River Oaks, where “The Big Timer” is taking on its par-3 3rd hole. Let’s see if he can kick off this part of the home stretch with a birdie!

The fairways have been buzzing with excitement and stellar performances all week long across the Myrtle Beach area! From breathtaking drives to clutch putts, our vibrant golf community has once again shown what makes Myrtle Beach “The Golf Capital of the World!” Take a look at some of the fun, courtesy of our friends behind lens on Facebook and Instagram.

Most recently, Joe Novak paid a visit to Long Bay Golf Club while Jim Maggio took to the skies to capture some early-morning aerial images at the Love Course at Barefoot Resort & Golf.
