<p>It’s natural that a beach recognized for its family friendly environment would also cater to family golf outings.</p>

<p>We’re not just talking about putt-putt courses, either.&nbsp;</p>

<p>South Carolina’s Grand Strand is chock full of tracks ready to make everyone feel at home on the links. An aggressive approach to varied tee boxes is commonplace &#8211; so much so that most courses utilize junior tees seasonally, if not year round.&nbsp;</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="351">
<p>Just make sure you ask about junior golf pricing when you’re setting your tee times. There’s a good chance you’re going to get the youngsters on for a fraction of the price or even for free. These six match all that with a design that’s friendly for the inexperienced while add a challenge for those who’ve been playing for a while.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.mbn.com/courses/litchfield-country-club">LITCHFIELD COUNTRY CLUB</a></strong><br>Designer: Willard Byrd&nbsp;<br>Longest tees: 6,692 yards<br>Shortest tees: 4,096 yards<br>Why it works for everyone: One of the area’s longest-running tracks, Litchfield helped put Pawleys Island golf on the map. As such, longtime visitors and locals alike have likely played here more than once or twice and allow for a de facto caddy to lead the fam around.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong><u><a href="https://www.mbn.com/courses/myrtle-beach-national-west-course">MYRTLE BEACH NATIONAL, WEST COURSE</a></u></strong><br>Designer: Arnold Palmer Design<br>Longest tees: 6,866 yards<br>Shortest tees: 5,127 yards<br>Why it works for everyone: Some 80 percent of the year, West isn’t backlogged on the first or tenth tees. Locals know this. They also know this is a great place for those with some rust or needing to fine-tune could work on their game in a low-stress environment.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong><u><a href="https://www.mbn.com/courses/beachwood">BEACHWOOD GOLF CLUB</a></u></strong><br>Designer: Gene Hamm<br>Longest tees: 6,691 yards<br>Shortest tees: 4,836 yards<br>Why it works for everyone: There are only two forced carries at Beachwood, and both of them (No. 16 and No. 18) are about as close to the standard tees as you’ll find. It’s relatively difficult to plunk a ball here, even if someone in your group isn’t hitting it dead center.</p>

<p><strong><u><a href="https://www.mbn.com/courses/myrtlewood-golf-club-palmetto">MYRTLEWOOD GOLF CLUB, PALMETTO COURSE</a></u></strong><br>Designer: Edmund Alt<br>Longest tees: 7,015 yards<br>Shortest tees: 5,176 yards<br>Why it works for everyone: The high-traffic course has more than enough length to challenge lower-handicap players. The 7,000-yard tips tend to draw plenty of attention. What the vast majority tend to notice is the navigable approach zones and lack of front-side trouble.&nbsp;</p>

Everything involved in the layout and terrain here fits into a package&nbsp;</p>

When we say Tradition maximizes playability, we mean it.</p>
