Myrtle Beach Golf

[Towelboy]

do you have favorite courses and places to stay? some of my buddies want to have a golf weekend in may down at myrtle beach. my thoughts were to find a decent place to stay and just find a daily deal on golfnow.com each day we are there.

 

have you guys ever booked a golf trip at myrtle and what are your suggestions on places to play and stay?

Stay in Brunswick County, NC (it's cheaper) and you're less than 30 minute from Myrtle.  Brunswick Plantation has great condos.

 

Lots of great courses up that way too...  Carolina National, Crow Creek, Farmstead, St James, Sandpiper Bay, Thistle...

 

I personally do not like River's Edge and The Pearl, but that's just me.

 

 

I've played a couple of courses in Myrtle, but not a lot... we usually stay somewhere up north and just drive into Myrtle at night.

Listen to Biscuit.  The Pearl is great.  Sandpiper is one of my favorites to play.  Carolina National was really nice but Its been awhile, There was either a lot of damn sand or I was in it A LOT.

I don't hear that a lot so thanks...

 

There is a LOT of sand on Carolina National.

Lot of great courses right inside NC line like Biscuit has already mentioned.

Played the Pearl years ago and after that round it made me reevaluate and reinvent my golf game. I had a bad day and the Pearl took no prisoners

Tidewater in cherry grove is real nice. The Barefoot courses are good. And Caledonia on the southend is great.

I should elaborate on that before I inflate your ego.  Only listen to biscuit in this situation because he plays golf a lot and lives in the area, otherwise pay him no mind. lol

 

National was when I was just starting to play and breaking 100 consistently.  I had a terrible day and it was hotter than fuging 100 hells that day too.  Isn't that a Fred Couples course?

I go down every year for a week with 3 other guys usually in the fall. We have done golf packages most of the years but I'll be honest, I am terrible at remembering which course is which. I just wake up, take a handful of aspirin and play where ever we are scheduled to play that day.  

 

 Recent trips have been to Seatrail courses (Sunset Beach); Legends Courses, and Barefoot courses. Out of those 3, I definitely prefer any of the Barefoot courses, honestly they are all very good. Legends had a couple good ones but Barefoot was definitely the best.

 

As others have mentioned, The National is good and I played TPC Myrtle which I think was a one of my favorites also. Most of those course have a regular rack rate of almost $150-$200 so make sure you look for deals as you mentioned.

 

If you want an inexpensive fun course that no one ever talks about, check out Possum Trot. It's an easy course that is also a lot of fun and good for golfer's of all skill levels. I have played that more than any other course down there.  It's not the serious business as many of the other courses are down there.

Before I moved to Texas, I used to do the same. Group of guys from work would setup a weekend with those golf packages. 3 nights, 4 courses for cheap. And you usually get strip club passes as well. Don't go in the water trying to get golf balls. And if a gator is on the green, automatic birdie. Happened more than a few times.

Too late.

 

Yes, it is a Freddy course.  It's very short, but has a lot of trouble.

 

If you guys get up towards Wilmington, Cape Fear National is fairly new and well worth the drive/time.  It's fantastic.

Holla if you get up this way.
