Myrtle Beach Golf Holidays
The Grand Strand packs more than ninety courses into sixty miles of Carolina coast, from Strantz masterpieces on Pawleys Island to oceanfront classics. The original buddies trip destination, easy to reach and built for high volume golf, and we cost it to the head.
Who this trip suits
Myrtle Beach is the spiritual home of the American buddies trip. Large groups thrive here on the sheer density of courses, the value packages, the practice facilities and the lively off course scene of bars, seafood and entertainment along the strand. Few destinations make it this easy to play thirty six holes a day for a week.
It also rewards the discerning golfer willing to look past the volume plays to the genuine design gems. Pawleys Island, at the southern end, holds the area's best courses and a quieter, Lowcountry mood. We build a trip that mixes the marquee Strantz designs with the right volume courses and the right base for your group's energy.

Frequently asked
When is the best time for a Myrtle Beach golf trip?
Spring, from March to May, offers the best turf and weather and is the busiest, most expensive season. Fall, from September to November, is nearly as good with thinner crowds. Summer is hot but excellent value, and even winter holds plenty of playable golf days on the Carolina coast.
How many courses are there in Myrtle Beach?
The Grand Strand has more than ninety courses across roughly sixty miles of coast, from value plays to genuine design gems. That density is exactly why it became the original American buddies trip, with stay and play packages built to keep groups on the course.
How much does a Myrtle Beach golf trip cost?
As a guide, expect indicative 2026 prices from around 1,200 USD per head for a value summer week up to 3,800 USD and beyond for a premium spring trip with the marquee rounds. Stay and play packages often beat rack green fees. Prices move with the season, so always confirm directly before booking.
Which are the best courses to prioritize?
The Mike Strantz pair on Pawleys Island, Caledonia and True Blue, are the must plays, alongside the historic Dunes Club and the tournament polished TPC Myrtle Beach. We build the volume around these signature rounds rather than filling a week with forgettable golf.
How much golf can a group realistically play?
Many groups play a round a day, and the keen ones add twilight nines, which Myrtle Beach is built to accommodate. We pace it to your group so the golf stays fun rather than a forced march by day four.
The rounds worth traveling for.
Every other week we send new course openings, the trips our concierge is quietly building, and the booking windows worth moving on before everyone else.
