Spring Golf Trip Planning Tips
Spring Golf Trip Planning Tips
Spring is golf season in Myrtle Beach.
From March through May, the Grand Strand comes alive with golfers escaping winter weather, chasing perfect course conditions, and finally getting back to playing meaningful rounds after months of cold temperatures up north. If you're planning a spring golf trip to Myrtle Beach, there are a few important things to know before you book.
The biggest reason golfers flock here in the spring? The conditions are absolutely outstanding.
This is when Myrtle Beach golf courses typically hit their stride. Bermudagrass fairways begin greening up beautifully, greens roll smooth and fast, and temperatures settle into that perfect sweet spot for golf. Expect daytime highs ranging from the upper 60s to upper 70s for much of the season — ideal for 18 holes in the morning and, if you choose, even squeezing in an afternoon replay round.
Courses like Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, Barefoot Resort, Grande Dunes Resort Club, Tidewater Golf Club, and TPC Myrtle Beach are especially popular during spring because the layouts look spectacular this time of year.
But because spring is peak golf season, planning ahead matters.
If you're visiting during March, April, or early May, book your tee times and lodging early — especially for weekends. The best courses and preferred morning tee times can disappear months in advance. Myrtle Beach spring golf packages also tend to fill quickly for buddy trips and group travel.
Another smart move? Build flexibility into your schedule.
Spring weather in Myrtle Beach is usually fantastic, but coastal conditions can change quickly. Packing layers for early morning rounds is always a good idea, especially in March. A lightweight quarter-zip or pullover can make those sunrise tee times much more comfortable.
Golfers should also think strategically about where they stay.
Central Myrtle Beach locations make it easier to access courses across the Grand Strand without long drives. Areas near Restaurant Row, Barefoot Resort, or Murrells Inlet can all work well depending on the courses you want to play.
Beyond the golf itself, spring brings energy back to Myrtle Beach. Restaurants get busier, patios reopen, nightlife picks up, and baseball season returns with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. It's the perfect combination of golf, weather, entertainment, and coastal atmosphere.
And perhaps best of all?
You get to play championship golf while most of the country is still scraping frost off windshields.
