You could rent a place in Myrtle Beach or Murrells Inlet or anywhere you please along the Grand Strand, and be within minutes of a golf course no matter where you chose to stay. In fact, if you stayed for about three months, you could play a different course each and every day. You wouldn't get at all bored, either. The courses of Myrtle Beach area offer a wonderful array of playing courses, each different from the others in some way. They come in so many shapes and sizes, degrees of difficulty and style, you will feel you've missed something if you don't golf on at least a few of them, to sample what there is.

The golf courses along the Grand Strand have been designed by famous golf course architects, as well as famous golfers such as Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. They have all taken care to incorporate the natural ecosystem of South Carolina in their designs, which are environmentally friendly in that they try to protect the indiginous habitat of the coastal and inland areas where the courses are created. For this reason, the golf courses are especially beautiful, with towering pines serving as backdrops for many of the golf courses, or giant oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, so beautiful you might have to put your clubs down and take a picture or two. There are ocean views, where you will find yourself putting over a bluff that looks down on ocean waves, or the Intercoastal Waterway in the background as you tee off. Water hazards may contain true hazards, like alligators. If you're lucky, you will find a golf course built on the grounds of an old plantation, which makes the experience a truly southern day of golfing. Where else but Myrtle Beach can you golf on an antebellum plantation?
