However, a select group of Myrtle Beach golf courses steal the spotlight from the rest. Here are some fabulous courses to consider for your Myrtle Beach golf vacation.
Love at Barefoot Resort – If you like tradition, you’ll like Love. The course’s design was inspired by its setting, the ruins of a 17th Century plantation. This simple and stunning Myrtle Beach golf course is easy enough to be enjoyed by the beginner, but challening enough to keep the pros interested
Dunes Club – To many, the Dunes Golf Club is acclaimed designer Robert Trent Jones’ masterpiece. The waterfront course, with rolling hills, tall oak trees, and surprising bunkers, is one of the more difficult layouts in Myrtle Beach.
Caledonia – You’ll have to pay top dollar to play at this prestigious, award-winning course, but if you’re a discerning golfer, Caledonia is a hole-in-one.
Moorland at the Legends Resort – With a par of 72, golfers will experience many highs and lows on this topographically diverse and consistently demanding course – literally. Moorland has both elevated terrain and sunken in bunkers. Add to that every kind of hazard under the South Carolina sun, and you’ve got a ruthless and renowned course.
Myrtle Beach golf courses can be easy and breezy or fearful and frustrating! And it’s this variety that makes Myrtle Beach golf vacations such a hit.
