Yes.
There’s your answer.
But we don’t expect you to click on a link, only find one-word answers and then book your golf vacation. So let us count the reasons you should head to Myrtle Beach for a November trip.
Chances are, any or all of these aspects of the game have crossed your mind. Let November check all the right boxes.
No. 10: Less Competition
There aren’t many months when tourism as a whole (yes, there are weirdos who come here with playing golf) isn’t making an impact in Myrtle Beach. But November is one of the lightest by comparison. That often translates to golfers having their pick of tee times on more courses than normal and…
No. 9: Less Pressure
Pace of play is important. Nobody wants a snail in front of them holding up the ensuing groups. But sometimes a more leisurely style to play can be nice, too. With fewer rounds being played, you can breathe between shots, enjoy a real conversation and maybe even drop a couple extra mulligans, within reason, of course.
No. 8: ’Tis the Season
From Myrtle Beach to Conway to North Myrtle Beach to Pawleys Island, the Grand Strand doesn’t wait until December 1 to start getting into holiday form. By the second week of November, Christmas-themed events aren’t hard to find.
No. 7: Super Soft
Hurricane season isn’t simply about Category 3 storms sweeping through. Many years, we don’t get anything more than a few good soakings. Toward the tail end (it technically runs June 1-November 30) – and combined with a month or two of more moderate temperatures – the playing surfaces are anything but rock hard. Players can absolutely stick their shots without fear of a random bounce or roll.
No. 6: Traditional Rounds
While it’s not a deal breaker for most, we do occasionally hear complaints about courses that double tee during the busiest months. Maybe it’s superstition or playing “out of order” that rubs some folks the wrong way when they’re asked to start on No. 10. By November, most courses no longer have the need. So if that’s a bugaboo for you, this is your time to play a perfectly chronological round.
No. 5: Savings
While Myrtle Beach is never a seller’s market when it comes to golf, it’s clear that certain times of the year cost more than others. And November rounds are going to be noticeably cheaper, save for date here or date there. It’s hard to argue with the type of savings most players find during the 11th month.
No. 4: Turkey, Turkey
Playing golf on Thanksgiving Day isn’t available in many parts of this country. It’s almost always firing away here. While a handful of tracks will close the course in advance for specific holidays,Turkey Day is a great time to knock out a weekday round and to work up an appetite.
No. 3: Green Stacked on Green
Every year, some out of town player will notice how spoiled we are and comment on it. And it’s because while most golf locales to our north are already playing on dormant, brown grass, ours is still much in November. Thanks to fall showers and cooler temps, our fairways, greens and even roughs are usually popping.
No. 2: Flexibility
Be it adding another round at the last minute or the freedom to scooch up your start time, leap frog that slower group or just about anything else, the courses themselves tend to be a lot less strict and amicable to deviations when slammed tee sheets don’t allow. It can add to your personal comfort levels, although not as
much as our top overall reason.
No. 1: Weather Issues? Not Likely
The best part of November golf on the Grand Strand is that more often than not, the conditions are perfect. You’re usually looking at low 60s to low 70s – with an anomaly either direction popping up from time to time. Even during our coldest stretches, courses can remain open for business and players who don’t mind a light jacket are just fine.
