It’s hard to find a golfer anywhere who hasn’t heard of Myrtle Beach, self-proclaimed “Golf Capital of the World.” Examine the quality of courses, access to tee times, customer satisfaction, range of accommodations, and ease of travel to the South Carolina coast, and it’s simple to understand why the area’s reputation is so widespread!
The quality of Myrtle Beach golf is certainly well known. Major golf publications consistently rank area courses among the nation’s best, based on both reader surveys and critiques by golf experts. While some older, less challenging courses have recently fallen victim to rising real estate prices, there are more than 100 quality layouts to test any golfer.
Finding the right combination of tee times and accommodations is a breeze! Nearly all resorts and hotels offer golf packages, or with a little web surfing, golfers can easily put together the trip of their dreams. An added bonus: beach and golf seasons peak at different times meaning room rates can be a bargain.
Myrtle Beach’s appeal is enhanced by all there is to do off the links. Golfers can choose from more than 2,000 restaurants, exciting nightlife, and shopping for golf equipment and apparel.
Accessibility is another factor in the area’s continued appeal to golfers. An easy drive from the Northeast or Midwest, Myrtle Beach is also served by a growing number of airlines.
More than 1.2 million golfers annually agree with local tourism officials and cast their votes for the Grand Strand as “Golf Capital of the World.” |
