Prestwick sits on Links Road at the southern edge of Myrtle Beach, inside the Prestwick community near Surfside Beach. Pete Dye designed it with his son P.B., and it opened in 1989. The club says it has the look and feel of a private club but is open to the public, and Golfweek named it to its 2025 list of the best courses you can play in the Carolinas.

The round, in perspective.
From the Black tees Prestwick plays 7,086 yards, rated 74.7 with a slope of 138; Blue is 6,744 yards and White 6,347, with Green, Red and Tan tees down to 4,624 yards. The site is flat, so the Dyes built interest with mounds, large bunkers and wide putting surfaces that blend into the fairways. A 2013 review on MyrtleBeachGolf.com picked out the ninth, where slanted railroad ties separate the short grass from a lake down the left, a Dye signature in a more restrained setting than his Dye Club at Barefoot. MyrtleBeachGolf.com names the par-5 18th as the strategic finish, and the club calls its bunkering dramatic.

Make the trip work.
With six tee sets, most groups should choose by handicap rather than ego: the 138 slope from the Black tees is a real test, while White at 6,347 yards keeps the Dye features in play without the length. The restaurant serves before and after rounds. The club sits a short drive from the south-end hotels and from Murrells Inlet, so it slots easily into a week based anywhere between Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island.
Myrtle Beach International (MYR) is the closest airport, a short drive south on the US 17 Bypass. The club is at 1001 Links Road, Myrtle Beach, SC 29575, between Myrtle Beach and Surfside Beach.
Golfbreaks suggests the Marina Inn at Grande Dunes, on the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Embassy Suites Oceanfront Resort, with its two-room suites facing the Atlantic. The trail’s own packages offer four lodging types: oceanfront, ocean view, golf villas and extra-large condos. Surfside Beach and Garden City have quieter rentals closer to the course.
Make a trip of it.
TPC Myrtle Beach in Murrells Inlet is the natural big-name partner, and The Dunes Golf & Beach Club is a classic Robert Trent Jones round on the oceanfront further north. The trail’s Southend Charm package adds Blackmoor, International Club and Wachesaw East. Off the course, Myrtle Beach State Park, with its fishing pier and maritime forest, and The Market Common shopping district are both close by.
Find your season.
Spring and autumn draw the most groups, and Groups book the south-end trail courses well ahead for March and April. Winter rounds are quieter and usually cheaper. Summer play is best early in the day.
Yes. Prestwick says it has the look and feel of a private club but is open to the public, and its general manager calls it a public-access course. Tee times are bookable online or by phone.
