What's Myrtle Beach Golf Like in May?
May keeps the momentum from April going strong, with warm weather, excellent course conditions, and a little extra buzz thanks to the PGA TOUR rolling through town. It's prime buddy-trip season — get here before the summer heat takes over.
Temperatures & Conditions
Expect warm, strong conditions with temperatures regularly climbing into the 80s. It's noticeably hotter than April, but the humidity hasn't fully ramped up yet, so it still feels like great golf weather rather than a summer slog.
Turf & Course Conditions
Turf is still excellent in May, carrying over the strong spring conditions from April. Courses are fully in their groove, with healthy, well-established fairways and greens that hold up well to the warmer temperatures.
Crowds on the Course
May brings its own wave of energy thanks to the PGA TOUR's Myrtle Beach Classic, drawing golf fans and players to the area. Combined with buddy trips looking to sneak in a round before summer heat sets in, tee sheets stay busy throughout the month.
Rates & Value
Rates remain elevated, similar to April's peak pricing, though they can start easing slightly as the month goes on and the calendar edges toward summer.
What to Pack
Lightweight, breathable golf gear is a must as temperatures climb into the 80s. Sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water should be standard gear by this point in the season.
Who May Is Best For
Buddy trips looking to get one more great-weather trip in before the summer heat arrives, and golf fans wanting to combine a trip with the energy of the PGA TOUR's Myrtle Beach Classic.
