Okay guys need some thoughts and insight from you all. I've been informed that I am to write an article about the Myrtle Beach golf scene for a blog that my real estate agency publishes. What are the popular/unpopular courses around here with housing on them. Which ones have condos and which have single family homes. Likes? Dislikes? For those that take trips here and rent a place on courses what are your favorites and why? Has anyone ever owned property on a course for either personal use or to rent out? If so what management companies did you use? Were they profitable investments. Favorite club houses and pro shops? Opinions don't have to be limited to the questions that I mentioned, any thoughts on area golf are welcome. Also plan to mention Brian and his business in the article if he will give me permission. Help me out guys.
It sounds like your article is about housing on courses.
Housing Courses: Pawleys, Long Bay, River Club, BF Norman, MW Palmetto, River Hills
No Housing: Kings North, Glen Dornoch, Heathland, Moorland, Witch, WW Avocet,
BF Fazio, MBN West, Diamond Back
Many courses have some housing. Some have housing that doesn't scare golfers, since it
sits back from the fairways, ie Grande Dunes. Courses with housing tend to have housing
and condos.
Favorite Clubhouses + Pro Shops: The Dunes, TPC, Barefoot Resort, TW, KN, WT,
Thistle, Legends, Tigers Eye.

Thanks @ArtMBGolf Housing on courses will definitely be one component of the article but definitely not limiting it to just that. I plan to make it more encompassing...kind of an informative piece as to the overall golfing lifestyle that the Grand Strand area has to offer golf enthusiasts who might be planning a move here either now or in the future. So I plan to talk about the local golf shops, restaurants, golf leagues, passport cards etc. Even considered doing it as a series of articles. Just kind of brainstorming right now and wanted to see what the most knowledgeable people on the subject have to say, which are the members on this site. Always great opinions offered here from you guys.
Besides living on a course or not, there is the decision about location, from Pawleys
to Cape Fear. You can locate on a course in the middle of the action and traffic, like
Grande Dunes or Myrtlewood or be more secluded like Ocean Ridge, Rivers Edge,
Pawleys, etc. No matter how many times someone has been to MB, that is a hard
decision.

Lol now that's a fact Art I can definitely attest to that personally. Last year when I was planning my move here I looked at places from Pawleys to Ocean Isle. I know my agent must have hated me. Oh well he's stuck with me now because I not only bought from him but joined his team.

I checked my Profile and notice that it only lets us specify a country for location.
State would be nice. I live in Delaware. I have visited MB since 1978.
I haven't decided on the perfect location in MB. The NC/SC line area provides a larger
number of reasonably priced courses, that will tend to be less busy during the peak seasons.
