Golf courses with the best views in Myrtle Beach
So many courses, so little time!
If you read my blogs, you’ve noticed that I’m passionate about golf and I personally think that all golf courses are beautiful and have something spectacular to offer for all the senses. I love the serene environment, the smell, the trees, the water, and sand all together that makes for a perfect ambiance to spend a few hours playing my favorite sport. One of the enduring pleasures of playing golf is the opportunity to spend time in nature. The most treasured golf courses tend to be the ones whose layouts provide a high-quality test and those situated on what seems to be a magical tract of land.
The Myrtle Beach area is full of superb golf courses, there is no shortage of choices. When we visit Myrtle Beach, the Golf Capital of the World for a golf trip, many of us choose golf courses by the price, difficulty, course rating, ground conditions, but also by the beauty of the landscape. On this blog I will concentrate on the beautiful views that you can experience on a golf course in Myrtle Beach. With 90 championship golf courses, there are several layouts that stand out from the rest due to some quality and very distinct scenery that often comes in different forms. Here are five golf courses, where the views are fantastic in Myrtle Beach.
I’m sure there are others, and that you have your own special places and different opinions, but here are my favorites places that I have played and enjoyed over the 30 years that I’ve been visiting Myrtle Beach.
