Questions groups ask before they book

Build it online or call the office with rough dates, a head count and the courses you have in mind. A planner checks the live tee sheets and the lodging, confirms every round with the course, and only then charges the deposit.

If a course, time or room you asked for is not available, the group leader hears about it first and chooses the alternative. Nothing is substituted without telling you.

Build a package onlineNamed packages

The rounds, the carts, the lodging and the taxes, quoted as a single price per golfer. Where a package bundles meals or range balls, those sit on the same number. There are no platform fees and nothing is added at the counter.

A $100 deposit per golfer holds the whole package. The balance is due 30 days before you arrive so the final confirmation can reach you in time. If you book inside 30 days, the deposit and the balance are paid together at booking.

Each golfer can pay their own share online, or the group leader can pay for everyone. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, check, money order and certified check.

Usually, yes. Course swaps, tee time changes and lodging changes depend on what the course and the property allow at the time, so call as early as you can. In rare cases a course, a tee time or a room has to be substituted; when that happens the group leader is contacted with the options before anything changes.

A final confirmation by email with every tee time, the course vouchers, check in instructions for your lodging, driving directions to each course and the office contact details. Bring the vouchers to the pro shop each day.

No. The named packages are the combinations we already know how to price. Give us your own course list, dates and lodging and we quote that instead, from any of the courses along the coast.

Custom golf package

Send the cancellation in writing and give us as much notice as you can, because the earlier we hear the more we can do to keep the fee down. Any prepaid or non refundable costs already paid to a course or property are deducted in every case.

• 31 days or more before arrival: a $35 per person fee, or a full credit toward a future package.
• 30 to 14 days before arrival: a $100 per person fee, or a full credit toward a future package.
• 13 to 7 days before arrival: a credit toward a future package, considered case by case and subject to change fees. No refunds inside 13 days.
• 6 days or fewer before arrival: no refund and no credit.

The course decides. If the course is open, the round is on, even in rain. When weather stops play part way through, most courses issue a rain check for the holes not played. Closing a course to all play is rare and is entirely the decision of the course.

Weather cover is $4 per golfer per round. Every playing member of the group must take it, for every round, and it must be bought before the final payment on the package. Once the group has opted in it cannot be cancelled.

It refunds a round only when the course is closed and accepting no play at all on the day you were booked. A wet day with the course still open does not qualify, even if the course is issuing rain checks. To claim, have the voucher for that round signed by a course representative and return it to us so we can verify and process the refund.

Yes. We can arrange trip protection that covers trip cancellation, trip interruption, travel delay, missed connections, medical and dental, rental car damage, and baggage. Ask your planner when you book. It is worth considering for spring and fall trips, when a cancelled flight can cost you a full day of golf.

Rarely, and usually only for a morning. Coastal courses drain well and rain delays tend to be short. Frost delays are possible on winter mornings and push the first tee times back rather than cancelling them.

Tee times open a year in advance, and spring and fall fill first. For a peak season week, nine to twelve months ahead gives you the best chance of your first choice courses at the times you want. Summer and winter trips can usually be arranged three to five months out. A late enquiry can still work, because we check live tee sheets rather than a printed rate card, just with fewer options.

Planning a Myrtle Beach golf package

Sending groups off both the first and the tenth tee at the same time doubles the number of morning tee times, which is how the area handles peak season demand. Most courses run a double tee in the morning and again in the afternoon. A few cannot, because their ninth hole does not return to the clubhouse. Your planner knows which is which.

Why courses in Myrtle Beach double tee

Tee times are normally eight minutes apart, which gives seven an hour. The morning wave runs from about 7:00 to 9:20, off both tees where the course double tees. The afternoon wave starts around noon and ends when daylight says it must: about 1:00 to 1:30 from November to February, and as late as 2:30 in the longer months.

Morning or afternoon tee times

Replays depend on space on the tee sheet the day you play. The first groups out in the morning are the first back in and have the best chance. Courses with more than one layout, or a sister course next door, give you more options, and courses with a busy member afternoon give you fewer. Some packages price replays in, and a planner can tell you where a replay is likely.

Replays in Myrtle Beach

Often, from April to October, when there is daylight for two full rounds plus lunch and the drive between courses. Take the earliest tee time you can. In February, March and November the days are short, so plan on one round unless the second is a replay on the same course.

Yes. Cart fees are part of the package price. Most courses in the area are set up for riding; a few allow walking at certain times, so ask your planner if that matters to your group.

Most courses rent sets, and it helps to tell your planner in advance so the pro shop has them ready. Golfers who would rather not fly with clubs often ship them to their lodging or to the first course; check with the property before you send anything.

No. Almost every course here has four or more sets of tees, and the planners can steer a mixed group toward layouts that are forgiving from the forward tees and still a test from the back. Tell us the range of handicaps and we will build the course list around it.

Find a course for your playing style

Oceanfront resorts and condos along the beach, villas on the golf courses, and larger vacation homes for big groups. We have 42 properties on the site from Sunset Beach down to Pawleys Island, and the package price covers the golf and the lodging together.

Places to stay

Yes. Condos and houses sleep anywhere from four to twelve golfers, and the group packages are built for eight to twenty four with matching tee times off the same starting hole. For anything bigger, call and a planner will spread the group across neighbouring units or a resort.

Non golfers are not charged for golf. When there are golfers in the group we offer a lodging only rate for anyone who is not playing. A non golfer who wants to ride along in the cart pays the course cart fee.

Yes. Any package can be built around two golfers and a room, and the beach, the shows and the restaurants take care of the non golfers. Families do well in the summer, when rates are lower and the days are long enough for a morning round and an afternoon on the sand.

Only where the package says so. The Sea Trail package includes breakfast, lunch and two drinks with each round, and some resorts bundle a breakfast. Otherwise meals are your own, and every property on the site is close to restaurants and a grocery store.

Sea Trail Golf Resort package

Yes. Taxis are scarce and public transport barely reaches the courses, so a car is the practical way to get between lodging, courses and dinner. Book through the national rental sites, where the online rates are usually the best, and book early in spring if your group needs a van.

No. We arrange the golf and the lodging. Book the flight first, with the airline or a travel site, then send us the arrival and departure times so the first and last tee times fit around them.

Myrtle Beach International (MYR) is in the middle of the area and has direct flights from a growing list of cities, many of them seasonal. Four other airports are within a reasonable drive, and we can book a round near any of them on the way in or out.

• Florence, SC (FLO): about 67 miles, 1.25 hours west
• Wilmington, NC (ILM): about 82 miles, 1.5 hours north
• Charleston, SC (CHS): about 103 miles, 1.5 hours south
• Fayetteville, NC (FAY): about 130 miles
• Columbia, SC (CAE): about 158 miles
• Raleigh Durham, NC (RDU): about 210 miles

Most courses are 10 to 40 minutes from Myrtle Beach International. North Myrtle Beach is 20 to 30 minutes from central Myrtle Beach depending on traffic, and Pawleys Island about the same to the south. Courses cluster by area, so a planner will keep each day of golf near your lodging rather than sending you end to end.

Where the courses are

March to May and September to November bring the best mix of weather and course conditions, which is why they are the busy seasons. Summer is hot but quieter and cheaper, with long days for a second round. Winter is mild enough to play most days, at the lowest rates of the year.

Spring or fall: which season wins

Late summer and winter, holidays aside. Midweek dates in spring and fall are the sweet spot between price and conditions if you want the peak season courses without the weekend rates.

Most courses punch greens once in late spring or early summer and again in late summer, and a few do a winter pass. Each course sets its own dates, and we track them so a planner can keep you off a course during its aeration week.

Aeration season in Myrtle Beach

We book 65 courses between Georgetown and Shallotte, from resort layouts to public daily fee courses, and almost all of them are open to visitors. Courses are grouped by area so you can play a different one every day without long drives.

All courses

One quote, one deposit, one confirmation, and a planner who does this every day. We watch course conditions and lodging closely, so if something changes before your trip you hear about it and get an alternative rather than a surprise on arrival. Groups come back year after year for that reason.

A package built around a set of courses that runs from Georgetown up to Shallotte. Play two or more of them and stay two or more nights, and replay rounds are discounted once you have played three or more different Trail courses.

Myrtle Beach Golf Trail package

Call (888) 796-4652 any day of the week between 8 AM and 8 PM, or stop by the office at 413 Broadway St in Myrtle Beach. If you would rather start online, build the package and a planner calls you back once the tee times are checked.
