One of the main reasons many people choose to travel to Myrtle Beach is to visit the beautiful golf courses. The courses in Myrtle Beach are known for being some of the best in the world. It is so renowned for golf that is has often been called the golf capital of the world. Myrtle Beach is home to over 120 golf courses and over 4 million rounds of golf have been played there, a world record. According to the Myrtle Beach Golf Association (mbga.com), some of the most popular courses include the Barefoot Resort, the Dunes Golf and Beach Club, Ocean Ridge Plantation, Caledonia Golf and Fish Club, and the Tidewater Golf Course and Plantation. The Barefoot Resort was ranked the number one golf course in Myrtle Beach in 2010 by golfdigest.com. It features four world class courses- the Fazio, the Love, the Dye and the Norman. The Barefoot Resort also offers dining, shopping, and lodging. The Dunes Golf and Beach Club earned the 48th spot on the “Top 100 Courses You Can Play” list in GOLF Magazine and was voted the eighth best course in all of South Carolina. Ocean Ridge Plantation features five different “Big Cat” courses- Jaguar’s Lair, Leopard’s Chase, Panther’s Run, Lion’s Paw, and Tiger’s Eye. Their website claims they cater to golfers at any level of play and offer long games, short games, club selection and equipment fitting. The Caledonia Golf and Fish Club is currently ranked number 66 on Golf Digest’s “Top 100 Courses You Can Play” list and is ranked number 3 in all of South Carolina. It is known to be a shorter course, but nonetheless is still considered to be one of the best courses in America. The Tidewater Golf Course and Plantation is a nine hole course, but is known to be one of the more scenic courses in the area. The course travels through a forest and six of the nine courses feature water hazards. Most of the courses in Myrtle Beach are available to be played as part of a package deal with other courses, lodging, and meals. It is usually much less expensive to play, eat and stay in Myrtle Beach if you take advantage of this option.
Myrtle Beach is not only known for its world-class golf courses, but also for its numerous miniature golf courses. There are over 60 miniature golf courses in Myrtle Beach and many of them feature the latest designs and technology in the mini-golf industry. One of the most innovative new courses in Myrtle Beach is the Mount Altanticus Minotaur Goff. The course features a mountain with waterfalls, streams, and a highly technologically advanced Tyrannosaurus rex that tries tirelessly to disrupt the golfer’s concentration. Golfers play their holes in mini tree houses built along the mountain. Hawaiian Rumble Miniature Golf is another widely popular course. It was named Best Mini-Golf Course in the USA by Golf Magazine thanks to its 50-foot volcano which erupts at various times during your time at the course. Hawaiian Rumble plays host to the annual U.S. Pro-Mini-Golf Masters Championship.
