Myrtle Beach Golf trips
Reading Time: 5 minutes

As we all continue to enjoy the summer months, families across the country are looking for vacation ideas that will be fun and enjoyable for the whole family. With July fast approaching and your high school golfer itching to go on a golf trip, I wanted to provide some family friendly (and affordable) golf destinations that will be sure to cater to a wide variety of wants for the entire family.

Myrtle Beach –  South Carolina

Golf : Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday has over 75 courses to choose from around the Myrtle Beach area – even more impressive, more than half of the member layouts have received 4 or more starts from Golf Digest’s “Best Places to play guide”, 12 of which have been ranked inside the top 100 of America’s greatest courses.

Accommodations:  Given that Myrtle Beach is located along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, there are plenty of beachfront options for lodging to choose from – perfect for the non golfing family members to soak up the sun and surf.
