Myrtle Beach is famously home to a lot of golf courses – nearly 90 in total – but did you know over 14 percent of that total resides on four properties?
While the Grand Strand isn’t typically known for large, multi-course resorts (defined here as three or more courses), it’s home to a quartet of destinations where you could play every round of your trip without ever leaving the property. These facilities deliver variety, convenience, and plenty of reasons to keep you coming back.
Myrtle Beach National
The area’s first 54-hole facility, Myrtle Beach National is home to three Arnold Palmer designs — King’s North, SouthCreek, and the West Course. Centrally located, MBN has long been a bedrock of the Grand Strand golf scene. This fall, architect Brandon Johnson, a longtime Palmer protégé, will complete a full overhaul of King’s North, one of Myrtle Beach’s crown jewels, giving golfers yet another reason to visit.
Legends Resort
Legends pairs a Scottish-themed clubhouse with three highly regarded layouts: Heathland, Moorland, and Parkland. For architecture buffs, Heathland was one of Tom Doak’s earliest designs, while Moorland, a P.B. Dye creation, was once ranked among America’s 50 toughest courses. Add in popular on-site lodging and dining, and it’s easy to see why Legends has been one of Myrtle Beach’s most popular stay-and-play venues.
Barefoot Resort & Golf
When Barefoot opened in 2000, it made history as the first property to debut four courses at once, each designed by a big-name architect — Davis Love III, Greg Norman, Tom Fazio, and Pete Dye. That pedigree helped Barefoot earn North America Golf Resort of the Year honors from the International Association of Golf Tour Operators, and it has remained a bucket-list destination for traveling golfers ever since.
Sea Trail Resort
Just across the state line in Sunset Beach, N.C., Sea Trail features three layouts that carry the names of their designers: Rees Jones, Dan Maples, and Willard Byrd. The resort completed a renovation of the Maples Course in 2024, will overhaul the Byrd Course in summer 2025, and plans to upgrade the Jones Course the next year. Each project includes architectural enhancements along with new greens and bunkers, ensuring all three courses shine for years to come.
From iconic designs to ongoing renovations, these four resorts allow you to enjoy the full Myrtle Beach golf experience in one place.
