Provider Profile: Why Kingston Resorts Offers the Ultimate in Golf Trip Lodging

Myrtle Beach is the Golf Capital of the World®, and Kingston Resorts puts you minutes from dozens of area courses. Here’s why golfers keep coming back.

Planning a Myrtle Beach golf trip? Start with your home base. Kingston Resorts sits on Myrtle Beach’s north end, right in the thick of the region’s golf scene, making it a seriously convenient launch pad for exploring a wealth of courses without burning your trip on car time. You get oceanfront rooms, great food, and a Golf Department that builds custom packages around your crew’s skill level and schedule — book direct for up to 30 percent off rooms, 25 percent off tee times, free golf gifts, an hour of simulator time, and waived resort/parking fees.

Fun fact: Myrtle Beach didn’t just become the Golf Capital of the World® — it earned the title, one legendary course at a time. It started in 1927 with Pine Lakes Country Club (“The Granddaddy”) and leveled up in 1948 with The Dunes Golf & Beach Club’s Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, which still hosts big-time tournaments. The Arnold Palmer/Jack Nicklaus TV boom of the ’60s sealed the deal, and the destination basically invented the “stay-and-play” golf package we all take for granted now.

Today, more than 80 courses stretch from Little River to Pawleys Island, designed by golf royalty like Pete Dye, Tom Fazio, and Greg Norman. Nearby favorites include Arcadian Shores (classic Rees Jones) and Barefoot Resort’s Fazio and Dye courses, plus historic Pine Lakes and The Dunes just a few miles away. Courses within two miles of Kingston Resorts even get a complimentary shuttle, so no one has to be the designated driver.

Rainy day? Hit Kingston Resorts’ 78Fitness on-site for three golf simulators, 100+ virtual courses, and an outdoor putting green.

Bottom line: a home base that makes tee times ridiculously convenient, plus the history and variety to back it up — Kingston Resorts is hard to beat.
