Planning a Myrtle Beach golf trip? The Grand Strand gives you plenty of ways to build a great few days around the game, from central Myrtle Beach golf courses to scenic rounds farther north. This is our five-course shortlist for visitors who want memorable golf and a comfortable home to come back to.

Our New Myrtle Beach Escape sits right next to Myrtlewood Golf Club, making it a particularly convenient base for a golf getaway. Mix a round or two with beach time, dinner, and a slower morning at home. For more ideas between tee times, explore our Myrtle Beach destination guide.

1. Myrtlewood Golf Club

Best for: a convenient round right beside your VALA home.

Myrtlewood Golf Club is our first pick for guests staying at New Myrtle Beach Escape. Our property is right next to the golf course, just a few minutes’ walk away. If you’re looking for a Myrtle Beach vacation rental near Myrtlewood Golf Club, that location makes fitting golf into your stay wonderfully simple.

Myrtlewood has two courses: Palmetto and PineHills. Palmetto pairs an Edmund Alt design with Intracoastal Waterway views, while PineHills brings Arthur Hills’ creative layout and characterful greens. Choose one for a quick golf break, or plan separate rounds to experience both. Confirm your check-in location and tee time with the club before heading over.

2. The Dunes Golf & Beach Club

Best for: championship golf and PGA TOUR history.

The Dunes Golf & Beach Club hosts the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, a PGA TOUR event that debuted in 2024. Its Robert Trent Jones-designed championship course makes it a standout name for visitors researching the best golf courses in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, or planning a trip around professional golf.

You don’t have to be following the tournament to appreciate its place in the Myrtle Beach golf scene. However, the Dunes is a private club with limited guest tee times, so confirm access directly before building your itinerary around a round. Tournament admission and a playing reservation are separate arrangements.

3. Pine Lakes Country Club

Best for: a round with Myrtle Beach history.

Known as “The Granddaddy,” Pine Lakes opened in 1927 as Myrtle Beach’s first golf course. Robert White, the first president of the PGA of America, designed its historic layout. It’s a lovely choice when you want your Myrtle Beach golf vacation to include a course with a story.

The par-70 course sits less than half a mile from the Atlantic Ocean and is known for its demanding par 4s. Instead of choosing only by length, consider the kind of round your group enjoys: Pine Lakes offers classic design and a strong sense of place. Check the club’s current tee times when planning your visit.

4. Grande Dunes Resort Club

Best for: Intracoastal Waterway scenery.

Grande Dunes Resort Club is a public golf option in Myrtle Beach with a Roger Rulewich design and five holes along the Intracoastal Waterway. Wide fairways and large greens give the round an open feel, while approach-shot placement still matters. The waterway setting makes it an appealing addition to a coastal golf itinerary.

For visitors comparing Myrtle Beach public golf courses, this is a good choice to explore alongside Myrtlewood and Pine Lakes. Be sure you’re booking the Resort Club, and review available tees and current rates on the official course website.

5. Tidewater Golf Club

Best for: adding North Myrtle Beach to your golf trip.

Tidewater Golf Club is a public course in North Myrtle Beach that welcomes daily-fee players, vacationers, and golf groups. It gives you a reason to explore a different part of the Grand Strand rather than keeping every round in central Myrtle Beach.

If your group is planning a multi-day Myrtle Beach golf getaway, consider Tidewater for one of your outings farther north. Allow for the journey from your vacation rental, check the club’s current tee times, and leave time to explore the North Myrtle Beach area after your round.
