After playing golf through most of the spring, summer and into the fall, your golf year may come to an abrupt end as it gets colder and the weather is no longer appropriate for the game. However, if you have been bitten hard by the golf bug, you are anything but satisfied. Instead, you want to go on a great golf vacation and continue to play. Pack up and go to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to enjoy golf in a beautiful environment. Prices are as of March 2009.
The River Club
Try the River Club if you are up to the challenge of a course that features water on 15 of its 18 holes. The bent grass greens are quite fast and tricky and you need a delicate touch to sink a putt of any length. Big hitters will appreciate the wide tee areas and fairways but approach shots must be carefully executed if you are going to hit the green. The cost for a round at The River Club is $105.
MB National King's Course
In an area known for natural beauty, this may be the most picturesque course. The "King" features lush fairways, numerous bunkers and sensational visuals while offering a fair challenge to the golfer. While it's not the longest course, it features narrow fairways that require precision with each shot. The cost at the National King's Course is $133.50 per round.
Aberdeen Country Club
Play a round at Aberdeen Country Club if you have brought your family to Myrtle Beach and you want to play a round with your kids. For every adult who pays the $61 greens fee, a child plays for free. This is one of the best values in Myrtle Beach and Aberdeen features three golf courses that make it friendlier for younger golfers because of their larger landing areas.
