What are the Best Myrtle Beach Golf Courses?

Who knows better about quality courses than PGA professionals? A survey of more than 50 pros showed which destinations rank highest.

The Dune Golf and Beach Club

The Dunes Golf and Beach Club tops the list of best golf courses in Myrtle Beach, SC. The Robert Trent Jones-designed course has been repeatedly ranked among the best in the country by Golf Magazine and Golf Digest. The Dunes has hosted the Senior Tour Championship, U.S. Women’s Open, PGA Professional National Championship, and PGA Tour Qualifying School. In 2024, The Dunes will play host to a new PGA Tour tournament, the Myrtle Beach Classic, as part of the FedExCup season.

The golf course is known for push-up greens protected by fearsome bunkers and its iconic 13th hole, a 600-yard, par 5 known as “Waterloo”.  Off the greens, you can practice on a grass driving range that includes a practice bunker.

Caledonia Golf and Fish Club

Ranking among the top 100 nationally as a “must play” by Golf, Golf Digest, and Golfweek (and Top 50 by GolfAdvisor and the Golf Channel), Caledonia Golf and Fish Club is a public club that has been inspiring golfers for 30 years. From the scenic entry that looks like a Southern plantation to the quality of the 6,500-yard, 18-hole course design, you’ll experience the challenge of brilliantly sculpted fairways and greens set among breathtaking natural backdrops. 

Tidewater Golf Club

Tidewater Golf Club is consistently rated one of the best Myrtle Beach golf courses. You’ll immediately feel the coastal country charm that borders the club—the Intracoastal Waterway and Cherry Grove Inlet. The 18-hole, par 72 championship course utilizes the coastal landscape within its rippling fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and, of course, intriguing water hazards. You’ll enjoy a truly unique day of golf at Tidewater Golf Club!

Grande Dunes

As you’re trying to decide among the many golf courses in South Carolina, be sure to consider Grande Dunes. The 18-hole, par 72 course was recently renovated to install new greens, restore every bunker, add 8 acres to the fairways, and increase the putting surfaces by 33 percent. The clubhouse also enjoyed a makeover that included the addition of an enticing restaurant. Since its opening in 2001, Grande Dunes has maintained its reputation as a top PGA golf course. Later this year, the resort will host a 16-team intercollegiate, 54-hole tournament, a preview of tomorrow’s golf stars! As an added bonus our townhomes at The Promenade at Grande Dunes are just a golf cart ride away.

Prestwick Country Club

Golf Digest awarded Prestwick Country Club 4.5 stars, calling it one of the Best Kept Secrets in Myrtle Beach (oops, the secret is out!). The prestigious club is a public course designed by the legendary father-son team of Pete and P.B. Dye. According to Golf Digest’s editors, the course features some of their signature elements, including “intimidating sightlines, wooden bulkheads, dramatic mounding, and deep-faced bunkers.” Be sure to include Prestwick Country Club in your tour of PGA golf courses in Myrtle Beach.
