Myrtle Beach is heaven for golfers. If you do not believe me, ask anyone who has been there. With so many courses, you could stay in Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas for almost a year straight and play a different golf course everyday. Literally, everywhere you walk, there is a course. You can not drive down a major street without seeing a couple. Because of this, people have become very fond of taking golf exclusive vacations to the city. Where are the best places to go? Where can you get a great price on a wonderful course? It really is not that hard. Use your common sense and you will be just fine in Myrtle Beach.

Beachwood is not very far from Myrtle Beach in driving distance, but in reality, it is miles from ordinary. This course is the host to two or three big professional and amateur events each year and it shows in the layout and upkeep. It is not long, but the wind has been known to play tricks on golfers. At Beachwood, you will find a par-72 design by Gene Hamm that is second to none. Amazingly, this North Myrtle Beach gem is affordable. With greens fees ranging from $33-$50, just about anyone can afford to play. If you love truly great golf in an unbeatable setting, this course is a can not miss.

Caledonia Golf and Fishing Club is one of the more unique places to go on your trip to the Grand Strand. It is not located in Myrtle Beach, rather it lies thirty miles south in beautifully quaint Pawley's Island. The sleep town of Pawley's Island is where all of the locals hang out and their golf course of choice is Caledonia. The golf course design is both elegant and sophisticated. It resembles a professional golf course in many ways. You will also enjoy the nice oak trees and plantation style architecture. Caledonia is where golf and true Southern hospitality are intertwined so tightly that they can not be separated. Greens fees are closer to $100 here, but it is well worth the extra money.

Beachwood and Caledonia are on opposite sides of the Grand Strand, but they are two of the best golf courses around. If you want to experience the best in true Myrtle Beach culture and golf, head to one of these courses. They are extremely different, but offer a nice view of what the area is all about.
