The Perfect 4-Day Buddy Trip Itinerary
Planning a golf buddy trip to Myrtle Beach and not sure how to structure it? Here's the exact formula that works every time: an easy warm-up round to shake off the travel day, two marquee rounds to build the whole trip around, and a value round on the back end so you go out on a fun note instead of an expensive one. Base yourselves right in Myrtle Beach proper — near Ocean Boulevard or at Kingston Resorts — and you're centrally located for everything below.
Day 1: Arrival & Warm-Up Round
Fly or drive in, drop your bags at your Myrtle Beach hotel or rental, and get straight to the course. The West Course at Myrtle Beach National is the move here — wide fairways, minimal forced carries, and forgiving enough to work out the travel-day rust without embarrassing anyone. That night, head to Broadway at the Beach for dinner and a few drinks. Plenty of restaurant and entertainment options to ease into buddy-trip mode.
Day 2: Marquee Round One
Time to bring out the big stick. Play TPC Myrtle Beach, a Tom Fazio design with tour-caliber conditioning and a layout that demands precision from tee to green — easily one of the best "we came here for this" rounds on the trip. Grab dinner afterward at The Market Common, a walkable dining and entertainment district with plenty of solid options for a group that just wants good food and cold drinks after 18 tough holes.
Day 3: Marquee Round Two
Play Grande Dunes Resort Course, a demanding, country-club-caliber layout with some of the most scenic Intracoastal Waterway views in Myrtle Beach. This is the round everyone will still be talking about at Thanksgiving. Celebrate with dinner and live music down at the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk near Second Avenue Pier — an oceanfront staple that's practically required for a proper buddy trip.
Day 4: Value Round & Send-Off
Before you head home, get one more round in without draining the wallet. Blackmoor Golf Club is a great value pick — playable, fun, and easy on the group's budget after three big days of golf. Grab a casual lunch nearby and hit the road with sunburns and stories.
