Myrtle Beach Golf Tips

Myrtle Beach is a great place to take a golfing vacation. There are some important things to know when planning your golf vacation in regards to tee times.

During golf season, Myrtle Beach is extremely busy. Most courses only give golfers about eight minutes between groups. For this reason, expect slow play during a busy season.

In order to get more golfers on the course each day, most courses follow the practice of double teeing. Golfers tee off on either the first or tenth tee box. This gives golfers a nice little pit stop after the first nine. Single-tee golf courses usually provide golfers beverage carts and a restroom at the turn.

Golfers vacationing along the Grand Strand can choose to tee off during morning or afternoon flights. The morning flights usually run from 7 am until 9 am. Afternoon flights generally run from 9:30 am until Noon. During daylight savings time the afternoon flight often is extended until 2:30. Generally, morning tee times in Myrtle Beach cost about 30% more than afternoon flights.

Most Myrtle Beach golf courses offer discounted replay rates. Availability depends upon the season. During the slow seasons, many golf courses will let you play again at no cost. Make sure to specify that you would like a replay and replay rate before you tee off in the morning.

If you are a single in need of tee times, always call the golf course a day early. You might luck out and get paired up with a group the following day. Otherwise, you'll be told to show up in the morning and wait for a group that needs one golfer.
