Myrtle Beach Golf

Hello,

I am heading to Myrtle Beach in 2 weeks to golf and hang out at the beach.

Can anyone recommend some golf courses to play?
Important aspects are value, scenery, least crowded. We would alo avoid courses with a lot carry the water type shots, those are really tough on my wife's game.

Also looking for opinions on the best way to book tee times if there is a cheaper way.

Some courses I am considering are:

Wild Wing- Woodstock
Barefoot- Davis Love III
Pawley's Plantation

Feedback please.

Peace,

KennyBanya

I played at Barefoot. It is a tough course. Stay out of the rough at all costs as it is thicker than an elephant's dong. Also watch out for alligators.....

I played at another one a few years back (I think it was called Blackstone) which was really nice. Lots of shade (you'll need it) and wide fairways.

Pawley's Island/Litchfield is a community about 20-30 minutes from Myrtle Beach. There are many good golf courses in that community, and they are often less crowded than those in Myrtle Beach.

I'm a horrible golfer but I've been to Myrtle every year since I can remember (I'm 20). Please avoid Eagle's Nest, it sucks more than I can describe here. I don't really remember names of any great courses, but definitly avoid Eagle's Nest at all cost. Possum Trot is alright too, I usually play it every year.

This may help. Also might check the flyer mags at all the restaurants and hotels when you get there.

I'll be in M.B. Apr.11th- 15th, too.
Looking forward to it.

Would be interested in restaurant recommendations.
I remember having good prime rib at a place I think was called 'the old pro's shop' or something. But that was about 10 yrs ago....
