The “Grand Strand” features over 50 miles of golfing, from the southern tip of North Carolina all the way down through Georgetown, South Carolina. In fact, Myrtle Beach features more golf courses than any other destination in the United States, and nine of the courses on Myrtle Beach’s Grand Strand received the 2005-2006 honor of “American’s Top 100 Greatest Public Courses” in Golf Digest’s list.
Over one million people get vacation rentals each year to serve as “home” during their golf vacations. The same one million visitors play over four million rounds of golf each year! Most local Myrtle Beach vacation rentals feature special golf packages that include accommodations and discounts at the many area golf courses. Some vacation rentals go as far as offering golf lessons and training directors to help make your golf vacations as memorable and enjoyable as possible. During the summer months, Myrtle Beach plays host to a series of single day golf tournaments that are fun for the entire family. The PGA tour rolls through and there are many other tournaments that you can join in for fun or on a professional level.
While you’re staying in your Myrtle Beach vacation rentals, you’ll be able to enjoy the many restaurants that are located in close proximity to the Grand Strand. Italian, Mexican, American, an abundance of seafood eateries thanks to the oceanfront locale; and the ever-famous, Caddy Shack restaurant founded by Bill Murray and his brothers, Ed, Brian, John and Joel. The Caddy Shack gives discounts to patrons who come in with that day’s score card so make sure to save it even if the score isn’t that great!
One of the unique features of South Carolina golf vacations is the ability to attend golf school while you are on vacation. Learn better posture, greenside bunker shots and fairway bunker shots.

Has anyone vacation in Myrtle Beach before. If so how would your rate it.?
I have a family with 2 daughters. 12 and 13. We are looking to vacation in Myrtle Beach. Never been there before. Do you think this would be a good family vacation. We do not golf. But love Beaches.
the beaches are nice but the area has every major chain restaurant around plus some strip clubs near the beach areas. with the exception of the golf, there is nothing different about these area except that it is overated.

I was there for a day in 1996. I didn’t particularly like it. I didn’t think it was that pretty, it was hot and muggy, and there was too much development along the coast. However, there’s a really beautiful botanical garden south of the city.I forget the name of it, though.

Myrtle Beach is one of my favorite places to vacation. There is so much more to MB than just the beach. Broadway at the Beach has lots of shopping and great restaurants. I would also recommend going to North MB to Barefoot Landing (more restaurants and entertainment ((Hard Rock Cafe))).
Like any other East coast beach, there is also a lot of mini-golf and ice cream stands for the family.

I thought it was very Honky Tonk – run down, carnival atmosphere – not very nice. Northern Myrtle Beach however is much nicer – so head out of the city and you’ll find nice beaches and decent hotels.

My honest opinion after visiting there on several occasions, its an excellent vacation spot for singles but i don’t find it to be the most family friendly place unless you go during a certain time they do have some good activities there to entertain families of adults and children alike, such as the small amusement park located on the strip, but what ever you do don’t take a family there during spring break or any of the biker weeks held there, which takes place around the very beginning pf summer or tail end of spring, its just simply too much rowdiness going on too much of an adult environment during those particular events, so i suggest carefully choosing a good time to take your family and reviewing when and what events are going on.

myrtle beach is a blast. you and the girls will have so much to do . there is broadway at the beach, and also barefoot landing. they have fun stores, and plenty to look at. don’t forget to stop at Jimmy Buffet’s Margarettaville restaurant, that is fun for all ages! also, barefoot landing, is a bit more low key, but is also family oriented. the beach is nice, and high rise hotels are particularly nice. the evenings are beautiful and so relaxing. also, walking up ocean boulevard is a blast (it’s right by the sea), with all the shopping and other activities. myrtle beach is well worth the trip, went 3 times last summer. you never run out of stuff to do there!!

I think it still is a great family vacation and nowhere as expensive as going to Florida. I like the Dayton House Resort to stay at. It is very, very, very clean and the staff is soooo nice. It is reasonable and in a good area.
I don’t golf either but we have a blast on the inventive mini golf courses that they have there. They are so much fun.
There is great dining and shopping.
I would recommend avoiding the pizza buffets, they are all terrible. And the best seafood "calabash" is Original Benjamin’s-the one in North Myrtle Beach.
http://www.myrtlebeachlive.com should offer a free planner, which is a really nice book filled with info on the lodging and other stuff.

I go every spring and love it so much I want to move there!
