Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations

Being a golfer and a third generation Californian I have a growing desire to leave my comfort zone in the West coast and discover new golf courses in other beautiful areas of the United States. Probably South Carolina, located on the East coast’s Atlantic coastline, is one of the most beautiful golfing locations. The people are friendly and eager to extend that special southern hospitality and charm that they are so well known for.

Myrtle Beach is located on the coast in beautiful South Carolina and is considered to be the “Golf Capital of the World.” There are over 100 challenging courses all within a reasonable driving distance of many luxury hotels and condos in the area. During a one week golfing vacation you could literally play on a different course each day.

If you are like me and most other golfers you are always looking for that great golfing vacation deal on Myrtle Beach golf vacations. If you dig deep and search hard you can find a resort style luxury hotel for the price of a “Motel.” These discounts can be found all year round but May is the best time of year to look for these specials for three reasons:

The courses are in great condition
The weather is beautiful
 “Off Season” prices are still in effect

In early spring the greens are in pristine condition. There is still a little nip in the air in the early morning but by half way through your game the weather will be perfect, not too hot and not too cool. The “off season” prices apply to your green fees as well as hotels. In addition, the courses, hotels and restaurants are all far less crowded.

Myrtle Beach is also located on the “Grand Strand”, a 60 mile crescent of beach that has earned the title of #1 family beach in America. So, while you are enjoying your golf vacation the kids can enjoy the many amusement or water parks, miniature golf and shopping malls or just hang out at the beach.

Since you are saving money on one of the packages available with Myrtle Beach golf vacations you can experience a live show in the evening. The area is home to the Carolina Opry and to Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede, Medieval Times, Legends in Concert, The Palace, the Alabama Theatre and more.

You will not be disappointed with a golf vacation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Be careful, you may decide to pack up the kids and move to the east coast with the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the warm and friendly people.
