100+ Golf Courses. The common misperception is that all 100+ courses along the Grand Strand are right on top of each other. Not the case. (It’s not named the Grand Strand for nothing.) From the southern chunk of North Carolina to Georgetown County 20 miles south of Myrtle Beach, the Grand Strand (or as numerologists call it, Hwy. 17) stretches over 60 miles with golf courses that range from the sublime high-end daily fees to cheap munis. It seems there’s literally every type (and price range) available for all kinds of budgets and skill levels. Penny-pinchers will gravitate to courses like Azalea Sands and Diamond Back, while those looking to tackle best-conditioned tracks, such as Barefoot Resort and The Dunes, will pay considerably more. One constant remains: to find the best deals, buy a package. www.mbn.com
Waccamaw Golf Trail. The 12 courses that make up the Waccamaw Golf Trail wind their way through old rice plantations, massive moss-draped oak trees and the black waters of the Waccamaw River. One of the highlights is the 18th hole at Caledonia, Mike Strantz’s low-country gem. The second shot requires a short mid-iron over some serious agua to a green guarded by numerous sand traps. If that doesn’t put a lump in your throat, the dozen or so onlookers relaxing on the nearby clubhouse porch will. Chances are, they’re wagering whether your ball gets wet, sandy or lands on the green stuff._Ê www.waccamawtrail.com/gt
World Amateur Golf Championship. In 2006, more than 3,000 participants from every state and 21 countries flocked to Myrtle Beach for the 23rd annual World Amateur Golf Championship, a four-round, good-natured net golf tournament. Competitors play four rounds of golf (on four different golf courses) and gain admission to the PGA Tour Superstore at the Sheraton Myrtle Beach, site of the world’s largest 19th hole. Hey, where else can you mingle with 3,000 other people who love the game as much as you do? www.worldamgolf.com
Glory Days Alumni Golf Classic. Can’t get enough of your buddies from college? 2007 marks the inaugural year of this four-man, 54-hole Ryder Cup-esque event, which pits alma maters against each other. More than just a chance to relive your glory days, there are some serious bragging rights to be won, plus you can tailgate, down a couple cold ones and win some cool prizes. May 16-20, 2007. www.glorydaysgolf.com
Golfapalooza/Monday After The Masters. Think Masters and you immediately picture Augusta National, azaleas and Amen Corner, but for a lot of people without passes to that hallowed tournament (and for some who do have passes—John Daly made a cameo last year), there’s Golfapalooza, a blowout event that broadcasts the tournament on a jumbotron and features a massive golf equipment demo and competitions. Come Monday, Hootie and the Blowfish host the Monday after the Masters Pro-Am Charity Tournament. No jacket required. www.golfholiday.com/golfapalooza.cfm
Broadway At The Beach. In recent years, most of the nightlife in Myrtle Beach has gravitated to this city walk. Bars, restaurants, stores, cinemas, the Palace Theatre and a wave park for the kids dot the landscape that crisscrosses waterways stocked with ravenous koi. Even KISS, the heavily made-up heavy metal quartet, has its own coffee house. www.broadwayatthebeach.com
Barefoot Landing. Located along the Intracoastal Waterway, this shopping complex brings to mind an old fishing village. Hey, can you name another mall with a 27-acre lake in the middle of it? Tired of polite waiters? Go to Dick’s Last Resort, a cheeky joint where they treat you like a_â”well, rudely. Greg Norman’s Australian Grille doesn’t serve shark, but they do make a mean slow-roasted prime rib. Sink your teeth into the 18-ounce “Shark Cut.” Barefoot is also home to Myrtle Beach’s House of Blues, home of Golfapalooza and Hootie and the Blowfish’s Monday after the Masters Jam. www.bflanding.com
Coastal Federal Field. Longing for the days when athletes played for the love of the game? You know, presteroid/premultimillion dollar contracts? Check out the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, the Advanced Class-A Affiliate of the Atlanta Braves. What’s more, they play in an intimate (6,000 capacity) ballpark that was rated the number-two ballpark in the country at the Class-A level. If the seats look familiar, it’s because they’re from the old Fulton County Stadium. www.myrtlebeachpelicans.com
Affordable Seaside Lodging. And we mean really affordable. It isn’t every day that you can plop down $39 for one night at a beachfront motel, but in Myrtle Beach, it’s practically the norm, particularly in the low-season months. Granted, the accommodations might not always be The Ritz, but for budget lovers who dig waking up to the sounds of the surf, there’s no better deal anywhere.
T-Shirts. Myrtle Beach might have the largest T-shirt stores in the country. Up and down the Grand Strand, superstore-sized T-shirt stores rise from the ground like fluorescent-lit airport hangars. There’s literally one (sometimes two) of these behemoths on every block. They aren’t just packed with cotton crewnecks; you can also find beach towels, hats, sunglasses and every other imaginable beach item priced to sell.
When To Go
Year-round accommodations are available. (Late summer through spring is the prime time with premium rates. Low rates are available in winter and early summer.)
5 Places to Stay
1. Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort

4. Long Bay Oceanfront Resort

5. Myrtlewood Villas

5 Player-Friendly Courses
1. Wicked Stick Golf Links
Its name might give you the wrong impression, but this John Daly and Clyde Johnston design is relatively flat and only slightly waterlogged, making it the perfect chance to knock some strokes off your index. Plus, you can’t beat the price. Some rounds ring up as low as $48.
www.wickedstick.com
2. King’s North
Now in its 10th year, this Arnold Palmer redesign of the Myrtle Beach National North Course is forgiving and challenging—even if the 18th hole features 40 bunkers. Hit it straight on 12, it’s an island green.
www.mbn.com
3. Lockwood Folly CC
This semi-private William Byrd design lies at the northern end of the Grand Strand in Shallotte, N.C. It winds through groves of hardwood trees and features views of the tidal estuary. It’s tight and tree-lined, but that doesn’t mean low numbers can’t be posted.
www.lockwoodfolly.com
4. World Tour Golf Links
This 27-hole facility boasts three nines that draw inspiration from some of the world’s most famous golf holes. Augusta National (Amen Corner), St. Andrews, Cypress Point and Winged Foot are just a few of the famous courses represented.
www.worldtourmb.com
5. Possum Trot Golf Club
Opened in 1968, this Russell Breeden design remains one of the best values on the Grand Strand. It’s also short and forgiving and a favorite among women. The red tees max out at just over 5,100 yards and the whites stop short of 6,400 yards. Still, it’s the greens fees that we love. $30-$69 for a round.

It’s not hard to see why the people at Cuscowilla Golf Resort really love golf. Just look at the place. For starters, the grounds unfold about 70 miles from Atlanta in Eatonton, Ga., at the banks of the spectacular 20,000-acre Lake Oconee. The centerpiece–err, masterpiece–golf course is a tremendous work of art, a collaboration by arguably one of the hottest design duos in the world (Ben Crenshaw/Bill Coore). And the clubhouse is stunning, starkly reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most prestigious designs. The vacation cottages, restaurants, villas and club amenities rival the best in the country, and Cuscowilla’s merit as a hybrid country club/shared private residence club/full-time residential community has been proven by consistently ranking high and above the rest on many “best” and “top” residential and getaway vacation lists. By that, we mean it has earned an exhaustive list of “Number 1s” in a heap of categories. Speaking of hybrid communities, Cuscowilla used to be an expansive nursery for the development of hybrid pine tree specimens. Today, the tradition of maintaining the land in its former nursery tranquility is in full effect.

For golf lovers there’s no better place on earth than Myrtle Beach–or more appropriately, the Carolinas’ “Grand Strand.” The 60+ mile stretch between southeastern North Carolina and Georgetown, South Carolina, with the Sun-Fun City of Myrtle Beach at the center, offers 100+ golf courses designed for every kind of golfer.

Only 12 miles long and five miles wide, Hilton Head is a maritime jewel off the southernmost coast of South Carolina, about 40 miles northwest of Savannah, Ga. Remarkably, golf wasn’t introduced to this thickly forested barrier island until 1956 when the first course, the Ocean Course, opened. The course is in Sea Pines Resort, a 5,500-acre residential and recreational development pioneered by Charles Fraser, son of a timber magnate, who’s heralded as modern Hilton Head’s founding father.
Earlier this summer, PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem announced the 2007 Tour schedule. It was a moment many golf fans were anticipating, as the details of the long-awaited FedEx Cup, a NASCAR-like season-long point race, were revealed.
Perhaps no other region in the country has such a varied and stunning definition as the great Southeast. Depending on who you are and where you’re from, the states of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina probably have a different meaning to you. Take a 13-year-old kid from Wisconsin, for example, and Florida to him is all about thrill rides, waterslides and Jet Skis. To a middle-aged boating enthusiast from New York, the region is paradise for power boating, deep-sea fishing and sailing. But for the rest of us, the self-professed mass of golf freaks, addicts, aficionados, hackers and players, the Southeast means eclectic, Tour-proven golf, especially if you’re talking about hot spots like Kiawah Island in South Carolina, the Golden Isles of Georgia’s coast (including Sea Island, Jekyll Island and St. Simons Island), and the Sunshine State’s flagship destination cities of Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and Daytona Beach. When Spanish gold explorers came looking for precious metals off the coast of this region some 400 years ago, little did they know the gold they were about to find would manifest itself in the rich array of top-tier resorts and golf courses that visitors enjoy today. Truly, the blend of coastal layouts and inland courses that take full advantage of the natural, wild environs of the area are, as a group, without peer.
Just to the north across the South Carolina border lies the city of Charleston and golf’s East Coast Shangri-la: 
Known the world over as the home of Arnold Palmer, Bay Hill has a down-home atmosphere combined with supreme golf course challenges. Three nines, designed by Dick Wilson and retouched by Ed Seay and Palmer, encompass the facility, two of which host the PGA Tour’s Bay Hill Invitational. One of the strongest, yet fairest, tests of golf anywhere.
With five courses, including one notoriously named the Blue Monster, Doral has enough golf to satisfy anyone. The Blue Monster is one of the toughest yet most rewarding courses in all of Florida, and the new Greg Norman-designed Great White is destined to be a crowd-pleaser for its distinctive, sandy palms design. Each course truly has a different look and feel, making Doral among the best golf hangouts in all of Florida.
The New Course is a throwback to yesteryear, with replications of the Old Course in St. Andrews, Scotland. The course is replete with pot bunkers, stone walls and other idiosyncrasies normally reserved for courses across the pond. The Grand Cypress Resort is state-of-the-art, offering upscale accommodations for active travelers. Twenty-seven other stellar golf holes lie in wait, as well.
This true masterpiece meanders through ocean forests and undisturbed hammocks populated by migratory birds. The longest of the four Jekyll Island courses, Pine Lakes was completely renovated in 2002 by Clyde Johnson, who took what was a near perfection and added his vision and flavor making it the premier course on Jekyll Island.
One of the most highly ranked courses on the planet offers both beauty and challenge in huge amounts, with stern tests at every turn and ocean views on all 18 holes. Home to the 1991 Ryder Cup and 5-star rankings from every source imaginable.
One of the true favorites on the island, Osprey Point is a visual masterpiece, carving its way through natural lakes, fingers of saltwater marsh and dense maritime forests of live oaks, pines, palmettos, and magnolias.
With the dramatic Jack Nicklaus-designed Ocean Hammock Golf Club as its foundation, the Ocean Hammock Resort is a golfer’s paradise overlooking the Atlantic. There are five courses total, one for every day of the workweek, yet each has a unique personality. Just look at the architect roster to see why: Nicklaus, Trevino, Lopez, Palmer and more. This kind of diversity makes Ocean Hammock the ideal “stay (for a long time) and play” destination. Ocean Hammock Golf Club was the first Oceanside golf course built in Florida since the 1920s when it made its debut in 2000.
Davis Love III, Sea Island’s resident touring professional, brought to life his finest vision as a course architect, remaking the original Retreat Course. The result is challenging enough for a pro, yet comfortable enough for the casual player. A favorite with Sea Island regulars.
The lighthouse. The tartan jacket. The world’s best struggling against a short that’s deceptively short yet long on challenge. Play at the home of the MCI Heritage Classic and one of the all-time modern classics–Harbour Town Golf Links. Ranked the top-ranked course in South Caroliona is a Scottish-style layout that, above else, requires perfectly positioned shots, arrow-straight accuracy and unwavering consistency.
The Pete Dye TPC at Sawgrass Stadium Course is the ultimate combination of brawn and beauty. As easy as it is on the eyes, it’s just as demanding on your ability to hit targeted golf shots with little room for error. Nevertheless, this Florida favorite is admired by the world every year at the PGA Tour’s Players Championship. Also noteworthy is its sibling, the Valley Course. The Marriott hotel on site is deluxe.
The natural beauty of the Florida woodlands also makes this course one of Disney’s toughest courses. Sparkling lakes and tropical sand, with strategically placed palms. Offers golfers plenty of challenge, just as it does during the PGA Tour’s Funai Classic.
The 18-hole Hampton Club, located on the historical Hampton Plantation on St. Simons Island, literally hopscotches several marshes, connected by a series of cart bridges that look as if they serve as anchors to make sure the holes don’t drift away into sea. The course looks challenging, but it’s more fun than it is demanding. It’s also a must-play for nature-loving golfers.
This 18-hole challenge with its trademark strategically situated fairway bunkers plays through some of Jekyll Island’s most pristine lakes and marshes. It’s named Indian Mounds after the large oyster shell middens deposited by aboriginal tribes hundreds of years prior.
Created in 1964 on the grounds on what was once the 34th oldest registered golf course in the United States. Oleander, a local favorite, challenges golfers with numerous doglegs and holes that play only 300 yards from the ocean–watch out for those trade winds!
Good value and great condition define Cougar point, a layout featuring holes that play hard against broad expanses of tidal marsh and which offe panoramic views of the Kiawah River and acres of needlerush and spartina grass. Cougar Point is designed to test the scratch player while providing an enjoyable round for all.
This Scottish-American-style course borders the historic Haulover Creek and the Kiawah River. Wide areas of windswept fairways stretch alongside salt marshlands interspersed with densely forested areas of live oaks.
Opened in 1981, Turtle Point is a low-profile design with fairways and green settings blended into the existing landscape. Nowhere is this more evident than along a specatular three-hole stretch woven through rolling sand dunes directly along the Atlantic Ocean. With sparkling renovations completed in 2000, the new Turtle Point invites both past and new guests to experience the beauty of the course.
Built on the Walter Travis’ venerated Plantation nine, the course was reshaped in 1998 and combined with Dick Wilson’s Retreat nine to create the brilliant 18-hole Plantation Course. Liberal sight lines between holes create a parkland feel with breathtaking ocean views, ancient live oaks, lakes, and flower-filled landscapes set against an artful canvas of fairways, bunkers and greens.
A 1999 Tom Fazio redesign transformed two of Sea Island’s brilliant original nine-hole courses into an 18-hole thriller. Elevated tee boxes inspire play with magnificent vistas of Seaside’s ancient oaks and cedars, the salt marsh and sand dunes, and the St. Simons Sound.
Located on St. Simons Island and home to 27 newly remodeled holes, each nine has its own unique character. The Tall Pines nine is narrow, the West nine is shorter but full of water, and the Great Oaks nine is a hybrid of the two. All three feature stunning vistas and a healthy mix of easy and difficult holes destined to become memory-makers for novices and advanced players alike.
Home of the LPGA and its Tour Titleholder Championship, the 36-hole International Club begins with the Rees Jones-designed Champions Course, a thought-provoking and picturesque layout with heavy Scottish influences and a variety of integrated nature preserves. The newer Arthur Hills-designed Legends Course is equally beautiful, with heavily bunkered greens and water on more than half its holes. Even though both these courses were designed specifically for women’s competition, both are man enough to challenge anyone.
Rolling fairways and surrounding wetlands give Eagle Pines a unique look and an equally matchless challenge. A low-profile, Carolina-style course that follows the natural contours of the land where water and sand await errant shots.
Another course that plays host to the PGA Tour’s Funai Classic, the Magnolia–with its beautifully manicured links and abundance of fragrant magnolias–offers a natural setting with large greens and tranquil water hazards.
Innisbrook is one destination where you can literally stay and play–for good. There’s no reason to ever leave this magnificent property, with 72 holes of golf, six large pools, 600 guest suites, four restaurants, numerous tennis courts and a nature preserve–literally everything is here. The golf ranges from subdued to difficult, with its flagship course being the treacherous Copperhead, home to the PGA Tour’s Chrysler Championship.
Nestled in the Sandhills of central North Carolina lies a roughly triangular area encompassing the villages of Southern Pines, Aberdeen and the quaint little walking village of Pinehurst (designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also created New York’s Central Park) and 
course designers includes Palmer, Maples, Nicklaus, Player, Jones and Fazio, but the name

Common local advice: “Play the Lake!”
The newly renovated Oak Point Golf Course, designed by Clyde Johnston, offers a variety of challenges from holes set in windswept tracts alongside salt marshes to fairways carved out of thick forests.
ocean views with 10 holes playing directly along the beach. It will host the 2007 Senior PGA Championship and the 2012 PGA Championship. Tom Fazio’s beautiful Osprey Point rests on a superb natural canvas and is a masterpiece in playability and variety.
Two great courses at this wonderful, full-service resort. Crooked Oaks is a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design and features the designer’s trademark rolling fairways and guarded greens, and weaves through centuries-old live oaks and majestic pines. Jones referred to Crooked Oaks as “one of my best.” Seabrook’s Ocean Winds Course takes you to the Atlantic Ocean and back. With its swirling breezes and plentiful sand dunes, it provides a challenging and ever-changing test of golf at all levels. Designed by Willard Byrd, Ocean Winds features tight fairways that are perfectly balanced by generous greens.
Home to Tom Fazio designs, the Wild Dunes Links and the Harbor Course. The Wild Dunes Links is ranked among the top 100 courses in the U.S., while the Harbor Course sends you island-hopping. Both are a lot of fun to play. Wild Dunes garnered the 2005 Charleston Area Golf Course of the Year award. Accommodations at Wild Dunes Resort include your choice of one of 350 oceanfront homes.
Located just outside the Charleston city limits in Mt. Pleasant, this Arthur Hills design will challenge golfers of all skill levels. Host to the 1999 U.S. Amateur Qualifier and recognized as a must-play in South Carolina. It’s an experience of superb conditioning, Southern hospitality and great golf.
Voted 2003 Charleston Golf Course of the Year, The Links at Stono Ferry combines beautiful scenery with unique Revolutionary War historic elements to create an unforgettable golf experience. This Ron Garl design winds through massive oaks in the front nine while the back nine is set along the Stono River and features panoramic views of the river and marshlands. The course actually sits on the grounds (though water is everywhere) of the 1779 Battle of Stono Ferry.
Located along the banks of Charleston Harbor, this exciting course has the spirit and feel of many of the great links of Scotland. The ever-changing breezes that sweep across the harbor shape and change the personality of this course from one round to the next, adding to the challenge of an excellent William Byrd design.
Myrtle Beach is one of those places that exists in pure dichotomy, where it seems you can be in two completely different places at the same time. On one hand, you have a jillion high-end golf courses to pick and choose from, most of which rival the best golf courses along the eastern seaboard. Several present not only a dazzling setting and an exciting challenge, but also a warm sense of southern hospitality, charm, class and sophistication. On the other hand, Myrtle Beach can be just as enticing off course, that is, if wearing a bib and chowing down on crabmeat or throwing back a pitcher of beer (or two) with your buddies is high on your list of things to do.
