Thankfully residents and vacationing golfers are not limited to playing only one of the nearly 90 fantastic Myrtle Beach designs. Golf writer Ian Guerin released a story exploring that very question however, “If you could only play one golf course in Myrtle Beach”
Here’s an excerpt:
Thankfully, residents and visitors of South Carolina’s Grand Strand aren’t relegated to just one course. With 90 or so to choose from, the variety is part of what makes Myrtle Beach golf. But what if you could only play one course in Myrtle Beach? This would be your new home course, where everyone knows you by name, you become buddies with the head golf professional and your standing tee time becomes part of the property’s history. Once on the links, you’d become an expert (over time, of course), and have the opportunity to steer your guests or random pair-ups around its 18 holes like a tour guide-esque player-coach.
We know it would be a struggle to choose that single, solitary course, so we’re going to give you a nudge in the right direction. Regardless of which pocket of the Palmetto State’s northern coastline you might call home, you have options to complete this dream without feeling regret that you picked the wrong site.

Impossible, the Dunes is a great one, but Tidewater, Farmstead, Meadowlands even though they are on the border of NC. and SC. If I could play all 3 in one day could we classify as one?~Tony via Facebook
