This trip pulls together the four courses that sit at the top of Myrtle Beach golf. Each carries a distinct design identity, and together they cover the full Lowcountry range: marsh, oceanfront, pine forest, and former rice plantation. The routing moves between the central strand and the Pawleys Island corridor, with accommodations placed to keep windshield time low at both ends.

DayCaledonia Golf and Fish Club
Drive 30 minutes south on Highway 17 to Pawleys Island and Caledonia Golf & Fish Club. Mike Strantz built the course on a former rice plantation, and the entrance through the live oak alley signals a property operating at a different register from the volume courses up the strand.

DayTrue Blue Golf Club
True Blue Golf Club sits directly next to Caledonia and shares the Pawleys Island address, but the design could not be more different. Where Caledonia is intimate and strategic, True Blue is expansive and bold.

DayDeparture
Check out and return to MYR, 30 to 40 minutes north depending on where you stayed. Flights from Myrtle Beach connect through Charlotte, Atlanta, and several Northeast hubs with reasonable frequency.

Plan the Practicalities
Logistics
The Marina Inn at Grande Dunes provides a central base for Days 1 and 2. For groups willing to move, shifting to the Pawleys Plantation Resort area for Days 3 and 4 cuts the southern-course driving significantly. A single base at the Marina Inn works, but adds 30 minutes each way on the Pawleys Island days. A rental car is necessary; the distances make rideshare impractical.
