<p>We all know the game is thriving here, and we all have our guesses why. What we’ve found in our years, however, is that it is the complete package that brings it all together.</p>

<p>From the courses to the name recognition to the food and people, Myrtle Beach has earned its reputation.</p>

<p><strong>STRENGTH IN NUMBERS</strong></p>
</div>

<p>You don’t get a moniker like “Golf Capital, U.S.A.” without having something to offer everyone. And, boy oh boy, do we accomplish that like no other pocket of the country. From Calabash, N.C., through the heart of Myrtle Beach and right into Georgetown County, some 90 or so courses dot the landscape.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="686">
<p>There are Lowcountry designs like <u><a href="https://www.mbn.com/courses/caledonia-golf-and-fish-club">Caledonia Golf &amp; Fish Club</a></u> and <u><a href="https://www.mbn.com/courses/pawleys-plantation">Pawleys Plantation Golf &amp; Country Club</a></u> and new-age layouts like <u><a href="https://www.mbn.com/courses/grande-dunes">Grande Dunes Resort Course</a></u> and <u><a href="https://www.mbn.com/courses/myrtle-beach-national-kings-north">King’s North</a></u> at Myrtle Beach National.<em>(top photo)</em>&nbsp;We have courses where you’re going to need to open the wallet a bit more, but just as many where lighter greens fees pack plenty of bang for the buck.</p>

<p><strong>DESIGNERS SHOWCASE</strong></p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="296">
<p>From Tom Fazio to Jack Nicklaus to Dan Maples to that guy you maybe heard of one time, the architects we frequently associate with the game frequently used Myrtle Beach to cut their teeth or show off their work. They did that knowing players would come and that those players would talk.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="232">
<p>What they put on display was some of their best everyday work, meant for everyday players. It allows us to whet our whistle amid the grounds that some of the game’s top designers crafted into spectacular portfolio pieces.</p>

<p><strong>MARKET COMPETITION</strong></p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="307">
<p>About those 90 courses? It’s not always a popular topic of conversation given it revolves around dollars and cents, but all those properties need to do something to set themselves apart. That means they tend to dump more money into their products while not raising the fees to cover the expenses.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="326">
<p>That’s a direct win for consumers &#8211; especially when it comes to the mid-tier tracks who maybe don’t have the name recognition or draw. They understand that for every group coming to Myrtle Beach for a few high-dollar rounds, there are others who will do their research and find something a little more economical.</p>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="38">
<p><strong>ZONE VARIETY</strong></p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="472">
<p>From the north end of the Grand Strand to the south, the direct coastline to 30 minutes inland, each part of the Myrtle Beach area has its own identity. And while players can translate that into more flexibility on where they stay, the flavor variety of those courses and their individual pockets of the Strand give visiting golfers a taste of different types of layouts. You want palmetto trees? We’ve got ‘em. Deep greens? Yep. Dogleg-heavy tracks? You bet.</p>

<p>The restaurants here are as diverse as any foodie could hope for. Some of that is territorial: Murrells Inlet and North Myrtle Beach rock some mean seafood while Conway has the Waccamaw River views and some good ol’ fashioned country cooking. Others are a product of the influx of one-time visitors electing to make this their home: Market Common dons the outside seating kings and Carolina Forest has a little bit of everything. And if you are accustomed to certain big-name chains as a go-between, come see how the Grand Strand’s versions put their own spin on your regular favorites.</p>

<p><strong>THE PEOPLE</strong></p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="352">
<p>Employees shift around. Ownership groups occasionally move pros and supers and even the bag drop guys from course to course. But what’s never changing is that everyone involved with the golf industry in the Myrtle Beach area is a part of it because they know &#8211; in one way or another &#8211; this is one of the most dynamic golf markets nationwide.</p>
</div>

<div class="non-component-container" data-block_name="core/paragraph" data-content_length="190">
<p>There will also be a steady diet of visiting players and local regulars, and those serving them on and around the course choose to be involved in all Grand Strand golf has to offer.</p>
