Most Popular Myrtle Beach Golf Courses by Season

One of the things that makes Myrtle Beach the Golf Capital of the World® is that there truly isn't a bad time to visit.

With more than 75 golf courses and year-round playing opportunities, golfers can tailor their trips around weather, pricing, course conditions, and travel goals. The best part? The courses that are most popular often change with the seasons.

Here’s a look at some of Myrtle Beach’s most sought-after golf courses throughout the year.

Winter: Snowbird Favorites

Winter in Myrtle Beach is all about value, availability, and frequent play.

Snowbirds and extended-stay visitors often gravitate toward courses that offer affordability, convenient locations, and layouts that remain enjoyable round after round. Popular winter choices include Myrtlewood Golf Club, Arcadian Shores Golf Club, Arrowhead Country Club, and World Tour Golf Links.

These courses offer excellent value while maintaining strong winter conditions. Many snowbirds play them multiple times during extended stays because they’re enjoyable, accessible, and easy on the budget.

Winter golfers also benefit from easier tee time access and less crowded courses compared to peak spring travel season.

Spring: Prime-Time Championship Golf

Spring is Myrtle Beach’s busiest golf season, and for good reason.

This is when course conditions shine, temperatures are ideal, and golfers from across North America flock to the Grand Strand. During spring, demand surges for premium experiences such as Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, True Blue Golf Club, Tidewater Golf Club, Barefoot Resort, TPC Myrtle Beach, and Grande Dunes Resort Club.

Golfers looking for bucket-list rounds and picture-perfect conditions often target these courses months in advance. If you’re planning a spring trip, booking early is essential.

Summer: Family Golf Season

Summer belongs to families.

With schools out and Kids Play Free programs widely available, many golfers seek courses that combine playability, family-friendly atmospheres, and great value. Popular summer choices include Myrtlewood Golf Club, River Hills Golf & Country Club, and Arrowhead Country Club.

These courses typically feature multiple tee options, forgiving layouts, and approachable designs that help junior golfers enjoy the game.

And when the round ends, the beach, waterparks, mini golf, and attractions provide plenty of family entertainment.

Fall: The Local Favorite

Ask many Myrtle Beach golfers when they prefer to play, and they’ll say fall.

September through November delivers exceptional weather, peak conditioning, and slightly lighter crowds than spring. Courses like Prestwick Country Club, Pawleys Plantation, King’s North at Myrtle Beach National, Glen Dornoch Waterway Golf Links, and Willbrook Plantation often become favorites during autumn.

The cooler temperatures and outstanding turf conditions make fall one of the best values of the entire golf calendar.

The truth is that every season offers something different.

That’s why Myrtle Beach remains one of the few golf destinations where golfers can find exactly the experience they’re looking for no matter when they visit.
