Mid-August Myrtle Beach Trip

[codhead]

Looking for some good values

Ok. Goin to MB 2nd or 3rd week of August. I'm looking for some suggestions of what you guys think are the best values down there(best play for the pay). Been lookin @ the SC course reviews on here for some background, but a lot of the info doesn't have prices, so I'm lookin for a little more specific info.

Little bit of background info:
I'm staying south strand(Garden City/Murrells Inlet)
Affordable to me is <$50, and I don't mind playing in the afternoon for the deals.
I'm staying for free so no stay and play packages.
I live in SC, so I've been to MB several times, but only played once while there, which was the wicked stick(no thanks).
I guess basically the question is whats the best courses you can play for under $50?

cool

 

I was thinking about trip to MB mid September

 

love to know if there will be any good deals

Played Wilbrook Plantation and Heritage Club back in July. Both great courses in the Ltchfield / Pawleys Island area. Called the clubhouses direct and got AM rates of 50-60$. Good deal for those courses. PM rates may be lower. International Club runs $20 off adds in the local paper. I think the rates go up after August when the primary golf season starts.

For good values, play Waterway Hills and Possum Trot in N. Myrtle Beach. Two of my all time favorites. Good value, but well conditioned. Most importantly, fun.

check out golfdesk.com

i just booked my spring trip through them.. ask for brian when you call he sorted me out well. and i went with the legends package which couldn't be beat really..

just notice you were looking for afternoon rounds less that $50.. best bet is the news paper coupons from what i hear.

Stay every year in Litchfield in Pawley's.

Play The Tradition. Well maintained.

Also the River Club. One of few with bent grass. August with the heat can be iffy thought.

Save 1 day for the The Caledonia Golf and Fish club. Awesome.

In August you can have your pick especially if you play in the afternoon. Almost everything is under $50. With Highway 31 in place it is easy to zip anywhere along the beach now so don't limit yourself to just the south end. Others have already thrown in some good ideas. A few of my favorites are Crow Creek (way north) and Wild Wing Avocet off Highway 501. Wachesaw East is also a decent cheap track. Have fun!

Try Man O War. I played there several years ago in August, and I think they charged a total fee of $20. It a fun track and usually in good shape. It's off of 501 near Wild Wing.

Been going to MYR for 17 years in August and this August will the the 18th. Play in the afternoon and the prices are much less then in the morning. My recommedations in order for the southern end: The Heritage, True Blue, Caledonia, TPC of MYR, Willbrook and Tradition. For a real different experience play The Witch.

I like the Witch, Wizard and Man 'O War. There used to be a way to name your own price on their website, which ended up being really cheap.

I just got back from MB. We played the following courses:

Prestwick CC - nice shape, ultra SLOOOOOOW greens and a quirky layout. Worth playing ONCE.

Willbrook Plantation - awesome shape, great greens. Great all around golf course.

Pawley's Plantatin - Big disappointment, poor condition, advertised much better than it really is; skip it.

Caledonia - Incredible, awesome course, perfect conditions; you get what you pay for.
