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 vacations. Read more →
You may have read that more than 15 Myrtle Beach golf courses have closed in the last few years. Well, here’s one that’s bucking the trend.
The Founders Club at Pawleys Island is a
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 →
Get around to playing this hole on your Myrtle Beach golf vacation.
If it were designed today, and by anyone other than a top-tier architect, the 13th hole at The Dunes Golf & Beach Club might be dismissed as a gimmick.
The fact that this boomerang-shaped hole is the most famous (and still respected) one you can play on a Myrtle Beach golf vacation owes largely to the fact that it was created, in 1949, by the late, great Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
Named Waterloo, this hole is the American prototype for what Jones called a “heroic hole,” its V-like shape wrapping around Lake Singleton. At 590 yards from the tips, it is exceedingly hard to reach in two, and it has stood the test of time and every type of equipment advancement thrown at it. Read more →

After slapping the Surlyn around all day in what often resembles the wilderness, it’s easy to develop an unusually intense hunger. Well, with all due respect given to chicken, fish, pasta and veggies, it’s often the type of itch that only a thick, buttery steak can scratch.
So, the next time you’re on a Myrtle Beach golf vacation and you get one of these carnivorous cravings, make a point of posting up at New York Prime, the best steakhouse we’ve found on the Grand Strand. Read more →
