Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Golf Courses
The
resorts of Myrtle
beach, South Carolina, are situated in an idyllic climate on the central Atlantic Ocean shore. The area boasts more than 100 high-quality golf venues, and many Myrtle Beach
resort courses rank among America's best, according to the game's foremost magazines.
There are good reasons why Myrtle Beach attracts avid golfers. Four of its public courses rank among America's best, according to Golf Digest. Myrtle Beach golf
vacations are by no means inexpensive, but resorts do compete vigorously for players' patronage with special package deals.
Typically, Myrtle Beach golf resorts are family friendly, with sun-stroked
beaches serving as a chief attraction. Besides luxury accommodations, the best resorts on Myrtle Beach also offer grand pool facilities, superior seafood selections, spas and easy access to recreational activities like hiking, horseback riding, boating and sightseeing.

The Legends resort in central Myrtle Beach is just a short drive from the local airport and it's nestled near the acclaimed Burning Ridge, Witch and Legends courses. Accommodations stretch beyond "home away from home" living areas to full-service practice and learning facilities for golfers.

Dunes Resort
The pair of stately residential towers overlooking a massive "water park" of a pool aren't the Dunes Village Resorts' sole attractions for families. Offering golfers convenient access to top courses is a Dunes Village claim to fame; and it can help convey players to the downtown Myrtlewood Pinehills and Palmetto course in a matter of minutes.
