Enjoyable Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations
With so many wonderful places around the world offering great golf vacations, you may have a hard time choosing. One that you should definitely consider is Myrtle Beach, located in South Carolina. It’s considered to be one of the top tourist destinations in the continental United States with nearly 14 million visitors a year.
At Myrtle Beach they offer a variety of golf resorts and courses that you can choose from. Depending on your budget, you’ll find everything from casual to luxurious golf resorts.
Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort is a Myrtle Beach Golf Vacation resort perfectly located in the beautiful Litchfield Beach/Pawleys Island section of the Grand Strand. This location affords our guest easy access to all the sights and sounds of Myrtle Beach, yet still offers that secluded, “away from it all” feeling.

From there you select the golf package of your choice, which courses you want to play (and tee times) and which rooms you want to stay in. Availability is checked in real time, any conficts in your chosen dates/times are highlighted. The total price is displayed every step in the process.
I did a sample booking just now and chose the Myrtle Beach Signature Golf Vacation with a free round. From there I selected 4 courses to play along with dates and tee times. Finally, I chose a villa for my accomodations. The total price was $1021.
One of the four courses I picked was Arnold Palmer’s sensational King’s North Course. It was crowned ‘South Carolina’s Course of the Year’ back in 1996. Also it was ranked among the ‘America’s Top 75 Public Courses’ by Golf Digest. The famous island green features a sculptured bulk-head and ‘S’ and ‘C’ shaped sand traps. Forty-two bunkers line the 464-yard, par-4 18th fairway. But the most memorable hole may be the 6th, ‘The Gambler,’ a par-5 reachable in two with a courageous tee shot, 220 yards over water to an island fairway.
Again for my sample booking I opted for the Scenic Villa, which includes a full kitchen, washer/dryer, patio or balcony. Resort Amenities include: 3 On Site Golf Courses, Water Park, Health Club, Bike Rentals, Tennis Courts, Fishing Lake, Business Center, Private Beach Access, Day Spa and Starbucks with Wireless Internet Access.
Another ideal option for Myrtle Beach golf vacations is the Long Bay Club Golf Resort. It’s a fan favorite designed by golf professional Jack Nicklaus. This resort features a demanding 137 slope from the championship tees to a difficult 127 for the ladies, countless large manmade mounds, bottomless bunkers surrounding Long Bay’s small Bermuda landing surfaces. A striking horseshoe waste bunker on the courses signature hole, the 353-yard No. 10 has become one of the most recognized in golf.
