Myrtle Beach has long been golf’s most player-friendly destination, and that reputation is only enhanced by the area’s ongoing initiative that lets group leaders who bring at least 20 players on a Myrtle Beach golf trip play for free.
PlayGolfMyrtleBeach.com’s 65 member courses and 50+ golf package providers are all committed to the program.
“Group leaders are vital to the success of our destination, and this is our way of saying thank you to the people who plan and organize a Myrtle Beach golf trip,” said Kyle Oland, director of marketing for PlayGolfMyrtleBeach.com. “Nearly every relevant Myrtle Beach golf course and package provider is participating in this program and that’s a testament to the market’s commitment to the people who have made the Grand Strand the game’s most popular trip.”
Myrtle Beach is expected to play more than 2.5 million rounds this year, including what’s projected to be a strong fall season, and traveling golfers are at the heart of the destination’s strength. Players from all 50 states and across the globe annually make the trek to the area to play.
The Grand Strand ranges from Pawleys Island, S.C. to just across the state line in North Carolina, luring golfers with promise sun, surf and some of America’s best courses.
The Dunes Golf & Club, a classic Robert Trent Jones Sr. design and a consensus top 100 layout, was the course that first brought the national spotlight to Myrtle Beach, and it opened the floodgates for the high-profile properties that followed.
Highlighting the depth and quality of Myrtle Beach’s offerings, Golf Digest recently unveiled its list of South Carolina’s top 20 public courses and 11 of them reside along the Grand Strand.
In addition to the Group Leaders Play Free Program, the Myrtle Beach market has long been committed to helping grow the game via its “Kids Play Free” initiative, which allows children 16 and under to play for free when accompanied by a paying adult.
