Hi Chums,
Yorkshire Roomy back !
Well after a terrific third visit to North Myrtle Beach back in March for 3 weeks golf (13 rounds in 20 days !), some great friends of ours (husband and wife) are coming over to NMB for their first trip, on my recommendation. They are my Club’s Captain and Lady Captain from last year and are both competent golfers.
Every one of my trips has been in Spring, so I have no idea how things are at this time of the year, which is why I am reaching out to you guys for help and advice.
Where on the North side / Grand Strand and up into NC are both in good condition and good value right now, or not too far to drive from NMB if heading South,please ?
This year we played Aberdeen, Azalea Sands, River Hills (twice), Willbrook Plantation, Thistle, Leopard’s Chase, Shaftesbury Glen (twice), River’s Edge, Whispering Pines and Man O War.
In the past, I have really enjoyed Meadowlands, Arrowhead, Prestwick, Grande Dunes, Long Bay, Kings North and the other 3 at MBN, Wild Wing Avocet, Beachwood, Crown Park, Diamondback, Eagle Nest, Pearl, Arcadian Shores, Myrtlewood (both courses), Brunswick Plantation, Crow Creek, Burning Ridge, Farmstead (RIP 😢) and several others.
I know I can rely on you guys for sound advice : many thanks,
Yorkshire Roomy 😘xxx
be careful with course selection as we are coming into course overseed time when course put down seed for winter play. doing that means wet CPO conditions for a least a week sometimes more for the grass to germinate. not all do it at the same time ,so ask when booking play. right now almost all courses are in great condition with recent rains
I have not been to MB since the Spring, so I can't confirm conditions, but
I will suggest those we can normally trust central to north.
VALUE: River Hills, Leopards Chase, Shaft Glen, Rivers Edge, Whisper Pines,
The Pearl, Arrowhead, ML, Beachwood, MW
Premium: Thistle, Grande Dunes, Kings North, TW
MOW, Wizard, Crow Creek are risky because of green problems during the drought in summer.
As Ziggy said, try to avoid fall overseeding, that is less fun and CPO, if fairways.
If booking with Brian ask him for the dates. If booking direct with course, ask them.

Cheers guys.
Art : presume ML = Meadowlands ; TW = Tidewater ; but MW ? 🤔
Myrtlewood ?

You are correct. MW is Myrtlewood. Two courses liked about equally.
The premium courses cost more, but are usually more scenic and unique.
Since staying North (do you know where?) and being a first MB trip, there is
no need to drive an hour to the South end.
