Feeling the squeeze of inflation but still dreaming of your next golf getaway? Myrtle Beach is proof that you don’t have to break the bank for a memorable trip.

If your group is like most, you have golfers with a variety of budgets. The good thing is, in a destination like Myrtle Beach, it’s easy to be cost conscious without sacrificing the quality of your experience.

Don’t believe me? Here are five ways your group can save money while maximizing the good times.

Book a Golf Package!
We are going to start with low-hanging fruit: book a stay-and-play trip, allowing you to maximize savings. A prime example is the Founders Group All-Inclusive package, which allows you to choose among 21 courses, including Grande Dunes, TPC Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Plantation. By booking within the Founders Group family, you will receive a multi-round discount and the package includes lunch, two drinks and range balls. The All-Inclusive offers great golf and a great deal.

The Most Important Meal of the Day
Bring breakfast food with you. Whether you want bagels, protein bars, breakfast sandwiches (get a box from Costco!) or something else, avoid eating out for your first meal of the day. It’s healthier and it will save you a few dollars.

Take Advantage of Myrtle Beach’s Middle Class
Sure, TPC, Dunes Club, Grande Dunes, Caledonia etc. are among America’s best public courses, but a significant part of Myrtle Beach’s appeal lies in the quality and quantity of the area’s golf offerings. The Grand Strand’s large middle class delivers value no other destination can match. So, when you are planning your next trip, Willbrook, Tradition, River Club, Litchfield, the two courses at Myrtlewood, River Hills and Long Bay, among many others, need to be near the top of your list.

Order Pizza
Eating dinner out is expensive, especially if you throw in a couple cold pops, which often results in a long stay. After you play 27 or even 36 holes, order pizza and eat in. You will likely be staying in condo accommodations, so you and boys can enjoy your favorite pie and cold beers in the comfort of your room. You won’t sacrifice any of the fun, and its probably 75 percent cheaper than eating out. Don’t do it every night, but even once will make a difference.

Bring More Friends!
In Myrtle Beach, trip leaders stay and play for free when they bring a group of at least 20. Assuming your group leader doesn’t keep the savings all to himself, those savings can be spread out among the group, meaning a five percent discount for everyone.

With a little planning, you can tee it up on some of Myrtle Beach’s best courses without emptying your wallet. What are you waiting for? Start calling your friends and get ready to book a golf trip you will be talking about for years to come.
