There are over 110 courses that offer just about any style of golf that you may enjoy. The area is also known as The Grand Strand and stretches from southern North Carolina down past Pawley’s Island. The courses span the full spectrum of quality and cost so you can accommodate any budget.
The area is especially good for a group of guys looking for a fun getaway. Find 7 of your best friends, pick 3-6 courses, play 36 holes a day, go out for some fun at night, and you have a fantastic trip that you will be looking to take every year. Also, if you are planning a bachelor party, this is a great location too. There are a number of “those” types of establishments that will keep the groom entertained.
How do you get a trip like this planned? Your first step is to contact a golf packages. They will be able to provide you with lodging, tee times, and advice on which courses to play based on your needs. Just do a search in MSN, Google, or Yahoo! to find a packager that you like. Then, do you own research. Read up on the courses that you are considering. Some shady packagers will push courses that they have incentives to sell. Don’t fall into this trap. These are usually sub-par courses. I recommend approaching your packager with a list of courses and a budget. Then see what you can do.
There are a number of things to consider before you contact your favorite golf packager. Where do you want to play? Myrtle Beach can be broken up into three areas. North Myrtle, Central Myrtle and South Myrtle. A drive from south Myrtle to North Myrtle can be over an hour, so plan your trip accordingly.
The next thing to consider is what types of courses you want to play. They range from utra economy to premium. With the former, you can get a very inexpensive round. However, you will not be playing quality golf. It's better to mix one of these rounds in with better courses in order to keep costs down. The later, premium courses, are where the great golf is. You will pay for it though. Even in Myrtle Beach the top courses are expensive. Some go as high at $185.

When it comes to finding cheap airfare, consider the options, including time of travel, destination, origination, airport selection, and travel dates. If you have the luxury of a flexible schedule, consider traveling during the off season. Typically, flights around holidays, early spring when schools are on spring break, and the summer are more expensive than the other times. A good rule of thumb is that air travel is cheaper when children are in school. Often, airlines offer sales and special rates that end in late May and begin again at the end of August.
However, not everyone has the luxury of flying in these off seasons, so the next variable is the destination and origination. Depending on your location, you may want to look at several different airports in your area. Since different airlines use different airports as their hubs or regional operating areas, the airport of origination plays a large part in the final fee you pay. The same theory goes with the destination. Choose larger airports instead of smaller ones, since adding a commuter flight to your bill can greatly inflate the price.
