Myrtle Beach Golf Kicks Off 2025 Tournament Season Monday with the Brittain Resorts Classic

A full field of more than 240 players descended upon the Grand Strand golf scene this week to kick off Myrtle Beach’s 2025 tournament season by teeing it up in the 11th edition of the Brittain Resorts Classic.

Tournament entries are comprised of two-person teams, with two flights of competitors playing on four sets of tees (Men’s, Women’s, Senior Men’s, Super Senior Men’s). The Brittain Resorts Classic is being contested at each of six popular Myrtle Beach layouts, with Blackmoor and True Blue hosting Monday’s round (best ball); The Wizard and Shaftesbury Glen hosting Tuesday play (combined Texas scramble); and The Byrd Course at Sea Trail and Glen Dornoch hosting final-round play on Wednesday (scramble).

Myrtle Beach’s early-season tournaments are a great way for traveling golfers from wintry climates to cure their cabin fever, with players from 26 states arriving from such faraway states as Colorado, Wisconsin and Illinois. Aside from entries from the Carolinas, four additional states are represented by 11 or more players – including Maryland (16), Virginia (15), Pennsylvania (13), and New York (11).

Players are being greeted with pleasant playing conditions, with the Myrtle Beach forecast calling for sunny skies Tuesday and temperatures climbing from today’s upper 50s to the low 70s Tuesday and 60s on Wednesday.

Each entry includes three rounds of tournament golf, a tournament gift apparel item, $50 gift card to Sea Captain’s House restaurant, a Sunday welcome lunch and awards lunch following Wednesday’s final round. Prizes are awarded to the top finishers in each flight, with daily contest prizes in each flight and random drawing prizes also up for grabs.

Each of 10 premier Brittain Resorts properties offered special lodging rates for tournament participants, including Bay View on the Boardwalk, The Breakers Resort, Caribbean Resort & Villas, Compass Cove Oceanfront Resort, Grande Cayman Resort, Monterey Bay, North Beach Resort & Villas, Ocean Reef Resort, Paradise Resort and The Strand Myrtle Beach.
