GOLF DESTINATIONS

South Strand

Includes: Georgetown, Pawleys Island, Litchfield, Garden City Beach, and Murrells Inlet.

Flavor: The South Strand might be the most scenic subarea of the beach. Live Oaks, rice plantations turned golf courses, and mom and pop seafood restaurants are the norm. Pawleys Island even has some semblance of consistent, architectural form, and the sleepy neighborhood streets of Murrells Inlet border on charming.

Best Courses You Can Play: Caledonia Golf and Fish Club – Mike Strantz designed course that is the most highly decorated in the Grand Strand and boasts some of the best landscaping of any course in the state. TPC of Myrtle Beach -- Stronger golf course than Caledonia, the Tom Fazio design is magnificent, and the service is among the best.
