Why October is the best time to hit Myrtle Beach for a golf course

Golfers often spend the most of their money on the game – and while you can't put a tag on enjoyment, sometimes you need to consider the budget.

Myrtle Beach in South Carolina is a premier golf getaway, designed to accommodate visitors and with many courses open year-round.

Most visitors to Myrtle Beach begin arriving in June and continue to arrive until August.

However, golfers should consider a fall trip to Myrtle Beach for several good reasons, chief among them being your budget.

The prices charged by everyone from hotels and hostels to the courses themselves will drop dramatically.

While many want to enjoy Myrtle Beach in the height of summer, golfers can wait until the fall and get that dream getaway.

In terms of saving money golf is better and many courses will be spectacularly beautiful as the leaves change color.

The summer heat will have dropped significantly, the pleasant temperatures in the mid to high 70s are typical for that time of year, and the golf courses are in excellent condition.

There are few courses more beautiful than Pawleys Plantation, and it's a joy to play the Jack Nicklaus design on a beautiful October morning when the sun has just risen. Although starting with the 10th hole because the morning tee time increases the vista, many people choose to tee off on No 1. October at Pawleys is a must-do.

The Long Bay Club is another outstanding Nicklaus design in the region. Characterized by large landfills and mowed roads, Long Bay is a complex that should be known more than it is. Among the most notable features of this Myrtle Beach property is the back nine, which includes the famous holes 10, 13, and 18.

The most significant change on the coast has been Shaftesbury Glen, where a 500,000 square foot landfill has been added. Although the thought of the abundance of sand in Shaftesbury Glen may seem unsettling, it is not. The bunkers are flat, making it easy to play in, while the sand adds visual contrast. Shaftesbury is one of the most westerly courses in the area, so the lower humidity in October helps it more than other courses. Development makes time for your visit.

It's fun to play with the beautiful Lowcountry layout at Willbrook. Surrounded by some of the most prestigious courses in the area, such as TPC Myrtle Beach and Caledonia, many tend to miss this Dan Maples creation. Willbrook offers your party a golf course, great location, and value.
