Long Weekend Golf Trip to Myrtle Beach

By Wayne Lin

Myrtle Beach is one of the most popular places to vacation or get away for a long weekend, especially if you are a golfer. The beauty and complexity of the golf courses draw in thousands every year. There are many golf courses and beaches in and around Myrtle Beach.

Grande Dunes Golf Academy

Grande Dunes is the primary golf school in Myrtle Beach. Weekend packages can include lessons at this academy.

Myrtle Beach's Grand Four

Myrtle Beach's Grand Four package includes four rounds of golf on four of the top golf courses at Myrtle Beach: Grande Dunes, Myrtlewood, Tidewater and Pine Lakes.

Unlimited Golf Packages

If you can't enough of golf, the Unlimited Golf Package includes two days of unlimited play at the Grande Dunes and two nights at the Marina Inn at Grande Dunes.

Golf at the Meadowlands

The Meadowlands golf course is a smaller course with a simpler design perfect for the beginner. It is located north of Myrtle Beach, about 30 minutes away. There are many excellent courses to play in this area as well, including Crow Creek and Farmstead (which is affiliated with the Meadowlands).

Tidewater

Tidewater is complex and is designed for both the experienced golfer or the novice; it is labeled as the "Pebble Beach of the East". The layout of the golf course allows you to see beautiful greens and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Golf Equipment Tip of the Day

Your Golf Club's Dynamic Lie Angle May Cause Stray Shots
by Michael Twigg, Golf Science Consultants
Have you ever wondered why what seems like a perfectly good swing sometimes produces a shot that doesn't even start off in the intended direction? Do some of your clubs seem to consistently produce these bad shots while others are more reliable? Consequently, you may pull out your faithful 6-iron for what should be a 7-iron shot and ease up on your swing speed just a bit. The good news is that there's a reasonable explanation for this problem and it can be corrected by checking and adjusting the dynamic lie angle of your clubs.
