Less than twenty-four hours after the final remnants of Tropical Storm Debby passed through, the majority of Myrtle Beach’s golf courses are ready to reopen.
Friday morning, Founders Group International, the region’s largest course ownership group, will reopen Burning Ridge, Colonial Charters, Founders Club, Long Bay, SouthCreek and the West Courses at Myrtle Beach National, the Palmetto and PineHills courses at Myrtlewood, Pawleys Plantation, Pine Lakes, River Club, TPC Myrtle Beach, Tradition Club, Wild Wing Avocet, Willbrook and World Tour.
Grande Dunes (August 13), Litchfield (August 14), and River Hills (August 13) are closed as part of long scheduled aeration, while King’s North at Myrtle Beach National is undergoing a front nine renovation this summer.
Aberdeen Country Club plans to reopen on Aug. 14.
Layouts like TPC Myrtle Beach, Grande Dunes, Pawleys Plantation, River Hills, Pine Lake and the Palmetto and PineHills courses at Myrtlewood recently installed Capillary Concrete Bunker Liners in their sand traps, meaning golfers can expect outstanding bunker conditions immediately.
FGI layouts aren’t the only courses planning a quick reopening. Here is when other Myrtle Beach courses plan to welcome golfers back to the tee.

While Debby dumped significant rain on the area, Myrtle Beach largely avoided the historic deluge many in the media were predicting.
Rainfall totals varied widely by region – North Myrtle Beach got 14.24 inches over four days, while Myrtle Beach received just 4.85 inches – but everyone escaped significant wind damage. While the rain totals were higher along the North Strand, it came over the course of 96 hours and a dryer than normal summer aided drainage, helping mitigate issues with flooding in most cases.
With the area’s peak fall season nearly upon us, golfers can expect their favorite course to be in typically outstanding shape, because there will be no long-term impact due to Tropical Storm Debby.
Myrtle Beach’s fall season features idyllic weather – the average high in October is 76 degrees with little humidity – and courses that remain in lush condition, allowing players from cold weather environments to enjoy a last hurrah before winter sets in.
