Brand new oceanfront condos and newly renovated hotel landmarks
are all signs of a renewed investment in making Myrtle Beach, America’s most
popular vacation destination.
The
landscape of the Grand Strand has changed dramatically over the past few years
and in turn so has the golf business. In addition to a changing environment,
Myrtle Beach’s native son, the golf vacationer, is changing as well. Golfers are
traveling more often for frequent shorter trips. |
As you
arrive in Myrtle Beach you may be just leaving the airport after a new nonstop
flight or making your way down the recently completed Highway 22. Looking around
you begin to see it. New neighborhoods, recently renovated condos, and hotel
properties and modern shopping centers replacing former strip malls. Fewer golf
courses, improved roads and a huge real estate boom highlight the new face of
Myrtle Beach.
Two to four day getaways are
replacing the more traditional week-long excursions. Longer work days, family
responsibilities and a plethora of other reasons have made our golfer more
versatile in their travel and spending habits. The new Myrtle Beach golfer is
always looking for the best packages at the best prices on demand. In support of
our golfers, three premier Grand Strand courses and a leading resort partner
have joined forces to create the Elite Triple Play. 
Carved from
the banks of the scenic Intracoastal Waterway, the team of Ray Floyd and Tom
Jackson has created a 27-hole masterpiece. A canvas of Bermuda Fairways and
Bentgrass Greens provide the perfect environment for unforgettable golf.
Arrowhead was one of the first courses in the area to incorporate the man-made
Intracoastal. Historical markers telling the tale of the laborious construction
can be found on each waterfront hole. The trio of ninehole layouts is each
unique, all featuring uncommon elevation changes, hardwood wetlands and some of
the most consistent playing conditions in the area. In 1998 Arrowhead was voted
South Carolina’s Golf Course of the Year by the SCGCOA. Visit 
Wild Wing
Plantation’s Avocet Course lies within a stately pine forest right in the heart
of Myrtle Beach off Highway 501. This Larry Nelson and Jeff Brauer signature
design is a compilation of fantastic golf holes that feature creative
contouring, elevated tees and greens and a uniqueness that cannot be matched.
Every characteristic of this mastermind design is demonstrated in the layout of
number 17, the hole considered by many to be the signature. A mere 362 yards it
is backed up by a double fairway bisected by a line of grass and sand pot
bunkers. The entire layout is built on creativity and the non-traditional. Bored
is one thing you will not be as you traverse the imaginative design found at
Wild Wing Plantation. Log on to 
Myrtle
Beach has always been known for great golf and beautiful beaches and the rest of
the Grand Strand is finally catching up. Great nightlife spots such as the House
of Blues and Broadway at the Beach provide entertaining outlets for visiting
golfers to celebrate a great round or forget about that 18th hole 3-putt.
Five-star restaurants such as Greg Norman’s Australian Grille and New York Prime
will keep any appetite satisfied. All the exciting dining, shopping and
entertainment options you need are within a short drive of the Caravelle. Change
is in the air all over Myrtle Beach and we invite you to join us.
