Myrtle Beach beats every other major American golf destination on one specific count: the depth of its value tier. The four courses on this trip are not consolation picks. Each one carries genuine design merit and conditioning standards that would push prices higher in a less competitive market.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Trip at a Glance
Land at Myrtle Beach International and drop bags at Legends Resort Villas off Highway 501 or Myrtlewood Villas on the central strand. Both offer multi-bedroom villas that lower per-person costs for groups of four.
King's North at Myrtle Beach National is Arnold Palmer's contribution to the strand and the headline course at the property. Expect inventive design: a par-3 island green, a par-5 with a central island Gambler feature that sets up a clean risk-reward decision, and consistent interest across all 18 holes.
A 36-hole day for groups with the appetite, or a choose-one day for a steadier pace. Legends Resort, Heathland sits on the Legends Resort Villas property, so the walk from villa to first tee is measured in minutes.
Check out and drive to MYR, 15 to 25 minutes from either base. The airport's manageable scale means 90 minutes before departure usually does the job.

Plan the Practicalities
Legends Resort Villas offer the most integrated value, with Heathland on-site and stay-and-play packages bundling green fees across multiple courses. Myrtlewood Villas put you closer to the beach and Broadway at the Beach. Both sleep groups of four in two-bedroom layouts at per-person rates that beat standard hotel rooms. A rental car is necessary for Crow Creek and Prestwick, though distances stay modest. This is the trip you hand to the friend who insists golf travel has to be expensive.
