★ The rundown
THE SCOUTING REPORT
A Myrtle Beach golf trip is the one every other buddies trip gets measured against, and for good reason. The Grand Strand packs 90-plus courses into a single 60-mile strip, which means short drives, easy tee sheets, and a lot more golf per day than you'll get just about anywhere else. Prices run friendly (this is a value destination, not a second mortgage), the lodging is built for crews (oceanfront condos with full kitchens and enough beds that nobody draws the couch), and when the clubs go back in the bag, Broadway at the Beach and the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk keep the night going. Whether it's a bachelor party, an annual reunion, or the first trip the group chat ever actually books, Myrtle is the path of least resistance: world-enough golf, beach time between rounds, seafood by the bucket, and a per-head number that leaves room in the budget for round two of everything. Never planned a golf trip before? Start here.

Hand-picked by people who have actually carried a bag here. Mix and match in the builder. Per-round prices shown per player.
Legends Heathland
StoutTom Doak doing the British Isles in South Carolina: running ground, wind, and par threes that want a long iron. Golf Digest four stars.
$110per round
Legends Moorland
StoutP.B. Dye with the brakes off. Bulkheads, waste areas, and a bunker on 16 literally named Hell's Half Acre. Send your best player first.
$105per round
Legends Parkland
CruiserThe classic test of the trio: tree-lined corridors and bunkering that punishes lazy swings at both ends. The fair fight of the three.
$100per round
Grande Dunes Resort Club
Bucket List7,600 yards on a bluff with five holes along the Intracoastal, renovated tip to toe in 2022. The 14th is the best par three on the Strand.
$165per round
Caledonia Golf & Fish Club
Bucket ListLive oaks, Spanish moss, and a closing hole over water with a porch full of hecklers watching. The Strand's crown jewel.
$145per round
The Dunes Golf & Beach Club
StoutA Robert Trent Jones classic on the ocean. 'Waterloo,' the famous boomerang par 5, will take at least one ball as tribute.
$150per round
Barefoot Resort Dye Course
StoutPete Dye doing Pete Dye things: railroad ties, waste bunkers, and angles that punish the brave. Bring extra sleeves.
$120per round
Arrowhead Country Club
Cruiser27 friendly holes along the Intracoastal. The right call for day one when half the crew hasn't swung since last trip.
$75per round

★ Crash pads
WHERE THE CREW CRASHES
Oceanfront condos built for crews: full kitchens, balconies for sunrise coffee and sunset debriefs, and enough beds that nobody draws the couch. Probably.
Marina Inn at Grande Dunes
Two-bedroom suites over the Intracoastal: a king room, a two-queen room, two real bathrooms, and a full kitchen. Ruth's Chris is downstairs, so the big night is an elevator ride.
$95head / night
Legends Golf Resort Villas
On-site villas a walk from three championship courses: four real beds, full kitchen, washer and dryer. Park the car on Thursday and don't move it until Sunday.
$60head / night
★ After dark
THE 19TH HOLE REPORT
Broadway at the Beach and the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk keep the night going long after the last putt drops. Live bands, mega-bars, and at least one guy in your group claiming he could've gone pro.
★ The blueprint
A SAMPLE RUN OF SHOW
How three days here usually go down. Yours gets built to order. This is just the scouting film.
- 01
Wheels down, wedges out
Land, drop bags at the condo, and sneak in a warm-up 18 before the seafood buffet humbles everyone.
- 02
The 36-hole flex
Morning round at a Strand classic, lunch at the turn, afternoon round to settle the morning's debts. Boardwalk after dark.
- 03
Money game Sunday
One last round with everything on the line, then a beach hang while the scorekeeper does the math nobody agrees with.
