The mercury is rising and the beaches are filling, but Myrtle Beach remains the Golf Capital of the World in the summer months as well. If you are making a family beach trip, don’t forget to pack your clubs because summer is as good a time as any to play.

Summer has emerged as the “secret” season in Myrtle Beach. Course conditions are excellent, greens fees are lower and premium tee times are easier to get. With that in mind, here five tips as you prepare for a summer golf trip.

1.    Kids Play Free 46 Myrtle Beach area courses allow kids to play free (complete course listing) when accompanied by a paying adult. Whether your kid is a junior star or just taking up the game, take advantage of the opportunity to play world class golf for free.

2.    Play Early – If you are on your own, be among the first tee times. You can finish a round and be back on the beach with the family before your wife realizes you are gone.
3.    Play Your Favorite Course – If you are traveling with the wife and kids and are only going to play one or two rounds, it’s the perfect excuse to play your favorite course (if you can select just one!), because you can’t come to Myrtle Beach without playing golf.
4.    Bring Sunscreen and a Hat – The beach isn’t the only place you need to protect yourself from the sun. Apply sunscreen, wear a hat and stay hydrated (for every Guinness you drink, have a Gatorade!) and you will have a great day at the course.
5.    Enjoy Summer Family Golf Tournaments –If the whole family wants to play, the Summer Family Golf Tournaments are the perfect outlet. The weekly series of captain’s choice events allow the entire family to play in an environment that is inviting for everyone, regardless of skill level.
