The Surf Golf and Beach Club

Azalea Sands Golf Club

Beachwood Golf Club

A North Myrtle Beach staple since 1963, Beachwood Golf Club is an 18-hole championship course, which has been home to the Carolinas Open and the Carolinas PGA Seniors Championship. The Par 72 course was designed to preserve the natural beauty of the area. The course features all-grass chipping and putting areas and is also home to a practice facility and driving range.

Eagle Nest Golf Club

Pine tree-lined greens and Cyprus-filled ponds make this championship golf course designed by Gene Hamm a standout. The course at Eagle Nest Golf Club starts off slow, getting progressively more challenging once you hit hole five, culminating in perhaps the most difficult golf stretch in the Grand Strand.

The Dye Course at Barefoot Resort and Golf
