Golf & Seafood Weekend in Murrells Inlet
Golf & Seafood Weekend in Murrells Inlet
If your ideal golf trip includes championship golf by day and fresh seafood by night, Murrells Inlet and Pawleys Island might be the perfect weekend getaway. The South Strand combines some of the best golf courses in Myrtle Beach with legendary waterfront restaurants serving fresh local seafood, oysters, shrimp, crab cakes, and cold drinks overlooking the marsh.
Better yet, most of the area's top courses sit within 15-20 minutes of the famous Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, making it easy to pair a great round with an unforgettable dinner.
Day 1: Caledonia + Hot Fish Club
Start your weekend at Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, one of the most scenic and beloved golf courses in South Carolina. After your round beneath the oak trees and Spanish moss, head north to the MarshWalk for dinner at Hot Fish Club.
The Hot Fish Club is a Murrells Inlet institution known for waterfront dining, fresh seafood, and its famous Lobster Pot Pie. The relaxed marsh views and outdoor gazebo bar make it one of the best post-round hangouts on the South Strand.
Day 2: True Blue + Wicked Tuna
On day two, tee it up at True Blue Golf Club, Caledonia's bold and sprawling sister course. After tackling one of Myrtle Beach's most memorable layouts, reward yourself with dinner at Wicked Tuna.
Located directly on the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, Wicked Tuna has become one of the area's most popular seafood restaurants thanks to its "hook-to-plate" fresh seafood, sushi, waterfront patio, and lively atmosphere. Golf groups especially love the seafood towers, sushi rolls, and local catch specials after 18 holes.
Day 3: TPC Myrtle Beach + Pawleys Seafood Dinner
Finish the trip with a round at TPC Myrtle Beach, one of the Grand Strand's premier tournament-style layouts. Afterward, head back south toward Pawleys Island for dinner at Captain John's Seafood Grill.
This local favorite is known for exceptionally fresh seafood, crab cakes, New England-style seafood dishes, and a laid-back atmosphere that's perfect after a long golf day. The restaurant consistently ranks among Pawleys Island's top seafood spots on Tripadvisor.
