Most Scenic Myrtle Beach Golf Courses
Myrtle Beach golf is about more than birdies and beach bars. One of the biggest reasons golfers keep coming back to the Grand Strand is the scenery. From moss-draped oaks and marsh-front fairways to Intracoastal Waterway views, some Myrtle Beach golf courses feel like nature preserves that just happen to have flags on the greens.
If you're the type of golfer who stops to snap photos between shots, these are some of the most scenic golf courses across North Myrtle Beach, Central Myrtle Beach, and the South Strand.
North Myrtle Beach & Brunswick County Scenic Courses
The North Strand delivers some of the most dramatic water views in the region. Tidewater Golf Club is spectacularly built between the Intracoastal Waterway, Cherry Grove Inlet, and salt marshes, and constantly puts nature front and center.
Nearby Glen Dornoch Waterway Golf Links features an unforgettable finishing hole running alongside the Intracoastal Waterway, while River Hills Golf & Country Club winds through towering Carolina pines and rolling terrain rarely found near the coast.
Cross into Brunswick County, and the scenery continues. Oyster Bay Golf Links blends marshland, tidal creeks, and native grasses into a true coastal golf experience. The Pearl Golf Links and Rivers Edge Golf Club also emphasize natural wetlands and untouched Lowcountry landscapes throughout their designs.
Central Myrtle Beach Scenic Courses
Central Myrtle Beach offers a mix of resort golf and waterway scenery. Grande Dunes Resort Course may have the best combination of conditioning and scenery anywhere on the Grand Strand. Several holes overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway create postcard-worthy views from tee to green.
The Dunes Golf & Beach Club remains one of the area's most iconic courses thanks to its massive live oaks and its renowned three-hole stretch wrapped around Lake Singleton, including its famous "Waterloo" hole.
Golfers seeking more natural beauty should also look at Arrowhead Country Club along the Waterway, Wild Wing-Avocet for its lakes and wetlands, and Prestwick Country Club for its tree-lined fairways and elevated greens.
South Strand & Pawleys Island Scenic Courses
If you're looking for pure Lowcountry beauty, the South Strand is unbeatable. Caledonia Golf & Fish Club is often considered the most beautiful golf course in South Carolina. Moss-covered oak trees, marsh views, flower beds, and historic plantation scenery make every hole feel cinematic.
Right next door, True Blue Golf Club takes a more rugged approach, using massive waste areas, native grasses, and sprawling natural landscapes to create a completely different kind of beauty.
Additional South Strand scenic standouts include Heritage Club, Willbrook Plantation Golf Club, Tradition Golf Club, and Pawleys Plantation Golf & Country Club, where marshland and centuries-old oak trees define the experience.
In Myrtle Beach, the scorecard matters — but sometimes the views steal the show.
