Myrtle Beach is known as the “Golf Capital of the World” — and for good reason. With more than 80 award-winning golf courses spanning the Grand Strand, the area offers a diverse mix of championship layouts, coastal scenery, and top-tier playing conditions for every level of golfer. If you’re staying at Ocean Reef Resort, you’re in prime position to tee off at some of the best courses Myrtle Beach has to offer.
Grande Dunes Resort Course
Just a short drive from Ocean Reef Resort, the Grande Dunes Resort Course is consistently ranked among the top public courses in South Carolina. With sweeping views of the Intracoastal Waterway, expansive fairways, and an upscale Mediterranean-style clubhouse, this course is a must-play for anyone looking for a high-end golf experience.
Pine Lakes Country Club
Known as the “Granddaddy” of Myrtle Beach golf, Pine Lakes is the oldest course on the Grand Strand and full of Southern charm. This semi-private course offers a traditional layout, tree-lined fairways, and a rich history dating back to 1927 — all just minutes from the resort.
Myrtlewood Golf Club
Conveniently located near Ocean Reef, Myrtlewood offers two excellent courses that are perfect for a morning or afternoon round. Palmetto is a classic layout with scenic water views, while PineHills is a more modern design with strategic bunkering and rolling terrain. Both are well-maintained and ideal for players of all skill levels.
Whispering Pines Golf Course
Tucked away near the Myrtle Beach airport, Whispering Pines is a quiet, tree-lined course that feels miles away from the bustle of the beach. It’s a great value with a straightforward layout, making it a relaxing option for a casual round.
Arcadian Shores Golf Club
Designed by Rees Jones, Arcadian Shores blends classic and modern elements with challenging greens and a strong variety of holes. It’s a favorite for those seeking a balanced test of skill and scenery — and it’s just a quick trip up the road from the resort.
