Why Spring Is the Best Time to Golf in Myrtle Beach
Spring is the one everybody already has on their bucket list, and honestly? They're not wrong to. This is peak Myrtle Beach — but we'd be doing you a disservice if we didn't tell you upfront: it's also the busiest and priciest window of the year. Let's talk through both sides.
Masters Season Energy, Everywhere
There's a specific buzz that hits the Grand Strand every spring, right around Masters week. Azaleas are blooming, courses are green and dialed in, and every group you pass on the cart path is riding the same high you are. If you've ever wanted to feel like the pros for a weekend, this is the season that delivers it.
Prime Playing Conditions, Full Stop
Courses are transitioning out of winter overseed and dormancy and playing their best — fairways are firm, greens are rolling true, and superintendents have spent months prepping for exactly this stretch. If peak playing conditions matter to you, spring is genuinely hard to beat.
The Biggest Buddy-Trip Season of the Year
Spring is when the buddy trips descend, and it's not subtle. Groups book out entire weeks, courses fill up fast, and the whole destination leans into that big-group energy. It's a blast if you're part of it — just know you won't be the only crew with the same idea.
Book Ahead, Seriously
Here's the part we tell every group that calls us in February asking about April tee times: you're already a little late. For peak spring weeks, especially anything touching Masters week or a holiday weekend, we recommend locking in tee times and lodging several months in advance at minimum. Popular courses and the best packages go first, and rates only climb as the calendar fills in.
The Bucket-List Trip
Spring earns its reputation honestly — the conditions, the energy, and the crowds all peak together. Just plan like a local: book early, expect company, and you'll have the trip everyone's been talking about.
