Best Golf Courses Near Murrells Inlet, SC

Murrells Inlet is located in the southern portion of the vast, 60-mile swath of uninterrupted South Carolina beach that makes up the Grand Strand and is loosely labeled the Myrtle Beach vacation mecca. Known as a culinary haven and “The Seafood Capital of South Carolina,” Murrells Inlet figures prominently in many Myrtle Beach golf getaways not only for its popular restaurants, bars and live music, but also for its array of golf courses. Golf Advisor has rated the Tom Fazio-designed TPC Myrtle Beach as one of the top courses in South Carolina. Wachesaw Plantation East Golf Club, a Scottish-style layout that extends over an old rice plantation, is just one of the courses in the area that gives golfers a chance to score a discounted tee time. Another is Indigo Creek Golf Club, where the back nine steals the show on a layout that occupies an old rice and indigo plantation. True to its name, the International Club of Myrtle Beach features a clubhouse that conjures visions of Old World Europe and fast, American-style greens. The only Gary Player design in the Myrtle Beach realm is Blackmoor Golf Club, a layout that all levels of players can enjoy as it twists alongside the Wachesaw River. For a quick round or to get in some short game practice before tackling bigger layouts, consider Tupelo Bay Golf Course, home to the 18-hole Executive Course and the 9-hole Par-3 Course. In addition to these golf courses, Murrells Inlet also boasts a couple of Myrtle Beach’s most impressive attractions—Huntington Beach State Park and Brookgreen Gardens, where the largest outdoor collection of sculpture in the U.S. enhances impressive botanical gardens. In the sprawling expanse of Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet is a jewel where golf and everything else is close at hand.
