Take the best Myrtle Beach golf vacation of your life!

Think you already know everything about taking Myrtle Beach golf vacations? If so, you should have no trouble answering these 3 simple questions:

1. Where is the best place to stay -- North Myrtle Beach, Central Myrtle Beach, or South Myrtle Beach -- to be closest to the best golf courses? To play the most dramatic layouts? To enjoy the fastest and least-crowded rounds of golf?

2. Which private Myrtle Beach golf courses allow outside play and what's the surprisingly easy way for the public to gain access to them?

3. What's the most infuriating thing that Myrtle Beach golf courses are famous for doing, and how do you make sure it doesn't happen to you?

Dear Fellow Golf Traveler,

I hate to say it, but if you can't answer these questions, and the other critical ones like them, your next Myrtle Beach golf vacation will not be the best it can be.

Luckily, my new guide, Planning the Ultimate Myrtle Beach Golf Vacation, contains all the answers and gives you the upper hand when booking your trip, whether you're doing it on your own or with a golf vacation packager.

Critical advice that could make or break your trip

For example, few people realize (and some packagers don't mention) that the "Myrtle Beach area" is actually 65 miles long, starting in Calabash, North Carolina and running all the way down the coast to Georgetown, South Carolina, encompassing more than 105 courses!

Unfortunately, many golf packagers won't tell you that the courses they've arranged for you to play are at the opposite end of this expanse from your hotel, connected only by miles and miles of Myrtle Beach's notorious stop-and-go traffic!

So, the first thing my guide does is break down Myrtle Beach into its three distinct sections -- north, central, and south -- and it explains the major differences between them so YOU can decide (not someone who doesn't know your preferences) what area is best for you based on your preferred type of golf courses, accommodations, atmosphere, and budget.

Of course, you may want to stay in one section and play golf in another, but with my guide, at least you'll know what to expect in advance (with handy maps to assist you) so you can plan accordingly.

Be informed so you can't be taken advantage of!

Oh, and speaking of those 105 golf courses, deciding where to play in Myrtle Beach can be hard to figure out! Indeed, some package providers count on the fact that you'll be overwhelmed by the smorgasbord of golf here and therefore accept whatever they recommend. Don't do it! The level of quality and service varies greatly, sometimes between courses at the same facility!

For example, I'm sure you've heard of the big, multi-course golf complexes like Legends Resort, Ocean Ridge Plantation, and Barefoot Resort. My editors and I have played all of their golf courses and -- trust me on this one -- they are not created equal.

Some are more than happy to charge you the same amount, and then put you on one of their lesser courses, but I don't like being taken advantage of like that, and I'm guessing you don't either.

That was partly my motivation for writing Planning the Ultimate Myrtle Beach Golf Vacation. It's a brutally honest, reliable and trustworthy guide to differentiating between Myrtle Beach golf courses and explaining which are truly worth your money, and which are just products of marketing and hype.

An expert, independent source you can trust

I want to be clear, however, my guide doesn't review every golf course that you can play in Myrtle Beach, only the ones that we feel are truly worth your attention.

And why are we qualified to make such recommendations? Well, let me first tell you who "we" are. Expert golf travelers, my editors and I have been reviewing golf courses, resorts, and restaurants in Myrtle Beach all over the world for the past 17 years.

Even more important than what we do is how we do it. Unlike other golf publications, we don't let properties know when we're on site to conduct our reviews. So, rather than the red-carpet treatment given to most journalists, we experience golf courses and resorts exactly like you would.

And here's the most important part: We are free to share our honest opinions with you. You see, we also maintain an extremely strict policy of not accepting advertising or free trips that golf courses and resorts regularly hand out to members of the mainstream media.

As a result, we don't "owe" them anything, and we don't need to worry if they don't like something we say about them. Our only concern is looking out for your best interests. That's why we give you the truth, unbiased and unfiltered, so you can make smart, informed decisions about where to spend your money.

The best golf courses based on your preferences

Based on this unique approach, and our ongoing visits to the area, we've included in Planning the Ultimate Myrtle Beach Golf Vacation a list of the best places to play golf, whether you're looking for:

Myrtle Beach golf courses suited for beginner, intermediate, or advanced players (or a group of mixed abilities)
Myrtle Beach golf courses that are particularly dramatic and thrilling
Myrtle Beach golf courses that are great for buddies, couples, or family trips
Myrtle Beach golf courses that are designed by famous golf architects
Myrtle Beach golf courses that are the least crowded and offer the fastest pace of play

And, in addition to what these courses look like in stunning, color photos, each individual Myrtle Beach golf course review includes:

How much it costs to play, including low and high-season rates
What amenities are on site, such as practice ranges, putting greens and clubhouse dining
Whether walking is allowed or if you're forced to take a cart
Maintenance schedules, so you can avoid bumpy, aerated greens
The key holes and hazards to watch out for so you can play your best
Contact information, including websites, so you can view them online

The best places to stay....and their secrets revealed!

Of course, there's more to a Myrtle Beach golf vacation than just the golf. Not only does my guide provide recommendations on the best places to stay, it often tells you how to get the best rooms without paying a penny more for them!

For example, here's what we wrote about Sea Trail Resort and Conference Center, one of the more popular, resort-like properties along the Grand Strand:

"The newest and choicest accommodations are in the Champions Complex. Unlike the older, three-story villas, the Champions accommodations feature elevators and Internet connections..."

If you were paying the same amount of money, why wouldn't you want these added conveniences? It's these small, but key pieces of insider advice in Planning the Ultimate Myrtle Beach Golf Vacation that ensure you'll get the most from every vacation dollar you spend.

The guide also includes our recommendations on the best places to stay for:

Buddies and big groups
Families
Couples
Beach lovers
Luxury seekers
Bargain hunters

Don't waste a penny on forgettable restaurants!

And what's a golf vacation without dining out? This is between you and me, but I sometimes get as excited about eating dinner after a round of golf as I do for the golf itself!

Well, if you think it's hard to decide between Myrtle Beach's 100-plus golf courses, there are probably 10 times as many eating and drinking establishments. The problem is, the majority of them are forgettable. Others are downright bad.

I'm not a food snob, either. I like Buffalo chicken wings as much as I like filet mignon (maybe even more), but I do think both should be the best they can be, prepared and served by people who care about what they're doing.

Planning the Ultimate Myrtle Beach Golf Vacation tells you where to find these "sure things," so you'll always have a great dining option no matter what you or your group is in the mood for on any given night. From fine dining, to casual eateries, to sandwiches and pizza, we'll show you the tourist traps to avoid and reveal the secret spots that the locals normally like to keep to themselves.

And think about this: if the advice in my guide keeps you from wasting money on just one bad meal -- just one -- it has paid for itself. Well, there are enough surefire recommendations in here to last you your entire vacation and then some!
