Top Myrtle Beach Golf Courses

Myrtle Beach has without question, some of the best golfing in the country and even the world, and with over 100 options, it can be difficult to decide. Here we have a few top Myrtle Beach golf courses to make things run a bit more smoothly.

For a scenic, upscale course related closely to its Scottish namesake the Prestwick Country Club provides deep sand bunkers across a natural dune filled field framed by native pine, oaks, and dogwood trees. The course is designed by Pete Dye, who received a 4.5 star rating for the course from Gofer’s Digest for the naturally challenging terrain, and 50-acre lake that sits between the 9th and 18th holes. Prestwick also received the best hospitality award in 2006, for their stunning restaurant and club where you can unwind after a tough day of golf.

Indigo Creek, another exciting course just south of Myrtle Beach, away from the crowds, boasts lakes, marshes, waste bunkers, and beautiful, vast greens. Willard Byrd chose the site for its scenic marsh, set in the "Grand Strand" low country plantations, and won "Best New Course" at its inception in 1990. Par is 72, but the braver ones may challenge "Golf Master Jim" who holds a 62 record on the course. The club and restaurant offer a number of choices for meal or quick snack.

For stunning views and an enjoyable, player friendly experience, one would be hard pressed to find a course more suitable than Sea Trail. Another Willard Byrd course, it is known best for wide easy fairways, roll it on pitch, dogleg holes, and the occasional sand bunker. Playing here also means you may use all 3 courses for one reduced rate, which, as any golfer knows, can make all the difference. If you wish to practice, there are driving ranges, putting greens, and a designated area to practice sand and chipping. The clubhouse is known for it full service restaurant, and friendly staff, while the locker rooms offer showers and other amenities to get ready for a delicious meal at one of Myrtle Beach’s award winning restaurants. One of the other Sea Trail Courses, designed by Reese Jones is tricky, but known for large greens, and even larger waste bunkers, which makes the course ideal for those who enjoy chipping around a green as opposed to straight shots, as well as more than enough chances to blast the ball out of the sand.

Regardless which course you choose, Sea Trail or otherwise, Myrtle Beach has literally over 100 different choices just to make your golf vacation as enjoyable, or challenging, as it can be!
