Now, I know there are some excellent bargains to be had on Myrtle Beach golf vacations this fall, so that got me curious.  Read more →

Spirit will begin new, non-stop flights from Chicago for Myrtle Beach golf vacations on its Airbus A319s.

Given the small airport there, it’s not always easy to fly non-stop when taking Myrtle Beach golf vacations, and based on the unreliable nature of air travel today, we always recommend the fewest number of stops possible.

That’s why we were very interested to learn that there are plans for new, non-stop flights to Myrtle Beach from another major market: Chicago, Ill., via O’Hare International Airport (symbol: ORD) and Spirit Airlines.

Service is scheduled to being on March 1, 2009 (just in time for prime, springtime Myrtle Beach golf vacations) with one early afternoon flight per day to (and from) Myrtle Beach International Airport (symbol: MYR) aboard Spirit’s fleet of 145-passenger, Airbus A319s, a seating chart of which can be found hereRead more →

Q: I’ve been taking Myrtle Beach golf vacations with my buddies for a long time. Is there another location in the Southeast we should consider that is equally easy to reach, offers multiple golf courses, dependable weather, and is not overly expensive? Elliot D., Westchester County, NY

Hilton Head is one of several southeastern alternatives to Myrtle Beach golf vacations.

A: The first alternative to a Myrtle Beach golf vacation that you might consider is a Hilton Head golf vacation. Hilton Head, just a little farther down the South Carolina coast, has a similarly high density of golf courses as Myrtle Beach (it doesn’t call itself “The Golf Island” for nothing), but the overall look and feel is more upscale. Not snooty, just a bit nicer and definitely still “fun” enough for a buddies trip. Prices are slightly higher than what you’ll find on Myrtle Beach golf vacations, but they’re not insane.  Read more →

Whenever I take a Myrtle Beach golf vacation, I make sure to get down to Pawleys Island, which not only has some of my favorite courses along the Grand Strand (Caledonia, True Blue, the Heritage Club) but also some of my favorite Myrtle Beach restaurants.

The best one-two dining combination I’ve found is at Louis’s at Pawleys (louisatpawleys.com) and the adjoining Fish Camp Bar, located on Highway 17 in the Hammock Shops specialty shopping/dining village.  Read more →

Glen Dornoch is one of the layouts that make North Myrtle Beach golf vacations so fun.

If you’re planning on taking a Myrtle Beach golf vacation this year, don’t slight the northern reaches of America’s most popular golf mecca. This area of the Grand Strand (just over the border in North Carolina) offers a variety of excellent Myrtle Beach golf courses.

Most Myrtle Beach regulars might play one or two courses in the north before moving on to the more publicized links in the center and south, but we think there is enough good golf here and enough good reasons to warrant multi-day North Myrtle Beach golf vacationsRead more →

Starting tomorrow, there will be a new course to play on a Myrtle Beach golf vacation, albeit toward the south end of the Grand Strand. It’s called The Founders Club at Pawleys Island, not to be confused with the Founders Club at St. James Plantation in the far northern reaches of the Strand.  Read more →
