Welcome to Myrtle Beach and the real world of American golf, as in real golfers, real friendly and real fun!
If you’re a golfer—young or old, rich or budget-conscious, duffer or stick—it’s a good bet the Grand Strand has what you crave. It’s the kind of place where you run into people you’d actually like to join your foursome. A place with the variety, affordability and quality that got Myrtle Beach voted the No. 1 golf destination in the world.
Did you know that Myrtle Beach drew more than 14 million visitors and hosted more than four million rounds of golf last year? That’s about 3.5 million more rounds than the nine courses at Pinehurst and the seven at St. Andrews combined. And that’s why locals like to call the Strand golf’s favorite home away from home. Myrtle Beach may lag behind a few other destinations in clout and snob appeal, but that’s not what the place is about. Myrtle’s more about putting tasty golf and Southern hospitality together in a world-class recipe.
That’s why some say this is where you’ll find American golf at its best—for everybody.
