Canadian Golfer's Guide to Myrtle Beach
Canadian Golfer's Guide to Myrtle Beach
When winter arrives in Canada, golfers face a familiar reality: snow-covered fairways, frozen greens, and golf clubs sitting idle for months.
That's why thousands of Canadian golfers make the annual pilgrimage to Myrtle Beach.
For decades, the Grand Strand has been one of the most popular golf destinations for Canadians looking to extend their season, escape harsh weather, and enjoy world-class golf without breaking the bank. Whether you're planning a week-long golf getaway or a multi-month snowbird stay, Myrtle Beach checks all the boxes.
The biggest advantage? Value. Winter and early spring often provide some of the best pricing of the year. Golf packages, condo rentals, extended-stay accommodations, and green fees are frequently more affordable from January through early March than during peak spring season.
Availability is another major selling point. Unlike March and April, when peak golf season drives demand through the roof, winter visitors often enjoy greater flexibility when booking tee times, accommodations, and even preferred courses.
Then there's the weather. While Myrtle Beach isn't tropical, daytime temperatures frequently reach the 50s and 60s throughout winter, creating plenty of opportunities for comfortable golf.
With more than 75 golf courses available across the Grand Strand, Canadian visitors can play a different course every day for weeks. Popular winter favorites include Barefoot Resort, Grande Dunes Resort Club, TPC Myrtle Beach, Pine Lakes Country Club, Tidewater Golf Club, and World Tour Golf Links.
Many Canadians choose Myrtle Beach because it offers much more than golf — oceanfront walks, fresh seafood, shopping, live entertainment, and a large Canadian snowbird community create a welcoming atmosphere throughout the winter season.
January and February typically offer the best value, while March begins transitioning into peak spring golf season. For Canadian golfers looking to trade snow shovels for golf clubs, Myrtle Beach remains one of the smartest winter golf destinations in North America.
