Myrtle Beach Golf News

For this edition of “Ask the Pro” we venture north to Sea Trail Golf Resort, home to the signature designs of Willard Byrd, Rees Jones and Dan Maples. From there we get triple-course perspectives on two topics, each from Sea Trail Golf Resort General Manager Jimmy Biggs. With 54 holes from which to choose, Biggs has no shortage of options for identifying the Resort’s top birdie holes and par 3s.

Planning a Myrtle Beach golf package shouldn’t feel like a second job. That’s the whole pitch behind Myrtle Beach Golfmasters: local pros who live and play the Myrtle Beach area, matching golfers with courses, tee times, and lodging that actually fit their trip — not just whatever’s easiest to sell. Two packages on their site show exactly how they pull that off.

Par 3s have a funny reputation. They’re the shortest holes on the scorecard, but ask any Myrtle Beach golfer which hole had the biggest impact on their round, there’s a good chance a par 3 comes up. Architects love using these one-shotters as a canvas for dramatic, photogenic design work — which is exactly why the Myrtle Beach area’s best par 3s are as beautiful as they are terrifying. Here are the ones locals and visitors talk about most.

“Course Cases with Aaron Chewning” comes to you here from the birthplace of Myrtle Beach golf, Pine Lakes Country Club, where Aaron heads to “The Granddaddy” to find out what makes this place so special. With “The Granddaddy” approaching its 100th birthday and centennial celebration in 2027, you won’t want to miss this episode!

We make the rounds and delve into the sights and scenes that make it so special, and present it daily to keep you informed on the latest and greatest the Myrtle Beach golf scene has to offer. Check out what we’ve been up to this past month!

This week’s photo tour of The Golf Capital of the World® keeps us at ground level as we visit two of the area’s most requested designs. Play Golf Myrtle Beach’s David Williams made morning visits in the past two weeks and captured an assortment of great images, both at Clyde Johnston’s signature design at Glen Dornoch and the Tom Jackson/Raymond Floyd layout at Arrowhead.

Play Golf Myrtle Beach (PGMB), the premier content platform and definitive resource for The Golf Capital of the World®, today announced the launch of its official Centennial Collection, marking the beginning of a yearlong celebration of Myrtle Beach’s golf history and the experiences that have brought generations of golfers to the Grand Strand. 

In collaboration with Style Driver, the Centennial Collection features limited-edition men’s and women’s commemorative boxes, along with a special selection of apparel and accessories designed exclusively for the celebration. Boxes are available in different style options from popular golf and lifestyle brands, including Style Driver, Johnnie-O and Salty Golfer. 

If you’ve ever dreamed of a golf trip headquarters that feels less like a rental and more like a clubhouse you never have to leave, meet the Myrtle Beach Birdie House. This 6-bedroom, 6.5-bath retreat sleeps up to 16 golfers and sits a quick drive from dozens of area courses — including Arrowhead Country Club (3 minutes away) and TPC Myrtle Beach (19 minutes).

A big part of a great golf experience in The Golf Capital of the World® is when the staff you meet at our courses go above and beyond to make it special. They’re our “Everyday Heroes of Myrtle Beach Golf,” and we’re proud to feature them here to show you what you can expect the next time you visit their courses.

This week’s nomination comes from Blackmoor Golf Club, which submitted a staff with more than two decades of course experience for consideration.

You just finished 18, the scorecard’s tucked away (or torn up), and now it’s time for a cold drink and something better than hotel-room TV. Myrtle Beach has one of the liveliest live music scenes on the East Coast, and the good news for golfers is that most of the best spots are exactly the kind of low-key, walk-in, no-ticket-required hangouts that fit perfectly at the end of a long day on the course. Here’s where to go.

Join us on a one-of-a-kind video tour of one of the Grand Strand’s most popular and requested designs: Tom Jackson and Raymond Floyd’s Arrowhead Country Club, a superbly conditioned track that has become a staple of many returning golfers’ golf trip itineraries.

This edition of “Ask the Pro” takes us to Murrells Inlet and Blackmoor Golf Club, the area’s lone Gary Player signature design with a variety of creative holes to its credit. Blackmoor Head Golf Professional Brian Boggs, PGA has his own thoughts on three that stand out not only as the design’s best, but that also present unique challenges.

After a disappointing loss from Cass and Hannah, they’re bringing in reinforcements. This time, Bradford Wilson will be joining them as they try to get back at Aaron and Bobby. Can they pull off the comeback? Or will they be back to the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk for another Myrtle punishment?

GolfTroop’s Myrtle Beach Ultimate Golf Package pairs a massive private beach house with three of the Grand Strand’s most-talked-about courses — True Blue, Caledonia, and TPC Myrtle Beach. It’s their staff pick, and once you see the lodging and the tee sheet side by side, it’s not hard to see why. Here’s the breakdown.

Georgia Southern (-26) stayed in command from start to finish to capture the men’s team competition while UNC Wilmington (+2) held off a late push from Campbell to win the women’s team division of the 2026 Golfweek Fall Challenge Tuesday at True Blue and Caledonia.

The tournament also marked the college golf debut of Kai Trump, the granddaughter of President Donald Trump.
