Myrtle Beach golf courses: tee times & green fees 2027
The eight clubs on this page fall into three clusters along the Grand Strand. At the north end, Tidewater looks over the marsh at Cherry Grove Inlet, and Barefoot Resort puts four courses by four architects on the far bank of the Intracoastal Waterway. Central Myrtle Beach holds the history: Pine Lakes, the first course on the Strand in 1927; The Dunes Golf & Beach Club, a private club with a limited number of guest times and a PGA Tour event; and Grande Dunes, a public course on a bluff above the waterway. In the south, TPC Myrtle Beach sits at Murrells Inlet, and Mike Strantz’s Caledonia and True Blue share a road at Pawleys Island. All eight are reached from Myrtle Beach International. Only three publish their rates, though, and four let children play free. This page lines up how each one books, what it costs and how far apart they are.

Which Myrtle Beach course should you book?
The Dunes Golf & Beach Club
The Dunes Club, home of the Myrtle Beach Classic, which returns on 13–16 May 2027. Come for Waterloo, the par-five 13th that bends 90 degrees around Lake Singleton, and book a midweek guest time.
Green fees & bookingBarefoot Resort & Golf
Barefoot Resort. Norman, Love, Fazio and Dye layouts share two clubhouses and one rate table, and the resort cuts 25 per cent from every round once you book the full set of four.
Green fees & bookingCaledonia Golf & Fish Club
Caledonia, Mike Strantz’s first solo design, reached down an avenue of live oaks about 200 years old. The par-four 18th finishes over water below the clubhouse porch and its rocking chairs.
Green fees & bookingPine Lakes Country Club
Pine Lakes, the Granddaddy. Robert White, the first president of the PGA of America, laid it out in 1927, and the clubhouse holds the Myrtle Beach Golf Hall of Fame. It is 15 minutes from the airport.
Green fees & bookingTidewater Golf Club
Tidewater, ranked 39th among America’s public courses by Golf Digest for 2023–24. Nine holes skirt Cherry Grove Inlet, and the black tees carry a 148 slope, so most visitors belong on the whites.
Green fees & bookingTPC Myrtle Beach
TPC Myrtle Beach. Children aged 16 and under play free with a paying adult, the shortest tees play 5,118 yards, and the Dustin Johnson Golf School shares the public range.

Three clubs let you budget before you search. True Blue is the cheapest published round: from 21 June to 31 August 2027 it costs US$89 after noon and US$109 in the morning. Caledonia, across the road, charges US$109 and US$129 over the same dates with a cart in the fee, and both charge juniors US$29. Barefoot’s walk-on table starts at US$95 midweek in January and early February 2027 and climbs to US$235 in late April, with 10 per cent off two or more rounds and 25 per cent off each if you play all four. The other five price by date and time, so you see the figure only when you pick a slot: the Dunes Club, TPC Myrtle Beach, Pine Lakes, Grande Dunes and Tidewater. Of those five, TPC, Pine Lakes, Grande Dunes and Tidewater let a child of 16 or under play free beside a paying adult. Pine Lakes, Grande Dunes and TPC sit in the Founders Group, whose single booking system puts all three in one basket.
Getting around.
Myrtle Beach International (MYR) serves every course here, and a hire car is essential. Pine Lakes is the closest, about 15 minutes away, which makes it the round to play on the day you land or leave. Grande Dunes and the Dunes Club are 20 to 25 minutes north, and Barefoot about half an hour, over the swing bridge from US 17. Tidewater, by the North Carolina line, is about 40 minutes, and Wilmington (ILM), around 60 miles beyond it, can suit a trip that starts at the north end. Going south, TPC is about 25 minutes from MYR and the two Strantz courses 35 to 45, with Charleston (CHS) roughly 70 miles below True Blue. Split a long week between two bases: North Myrtle Beach puts Barefoot and Tidewater 20 minutes apart, and Pawleys Island or Murrells Inlet keeps Caledonia, True Blue and TPC within 15 minutes of each other.
When to play.
Mid-March to early May and late September into November are the busiest and dearest weeks, when group trips fill the tee sheets and Tidewater often sells out. Book the Dunes Club first, because it has the fewest guest times: Tuesday to Thursday is safest, since Fridays, Saturdays and holiday weekends are closed to unaccompanied guests. Keep clear of the Myrtle Beach Classic in mid-May 2027. Winter is the bargain at Barefoot, where every day from 10 to 16 February 2027 is listed at US$98. Summer is hot and humid, with storms and the hurricane season from June to November, but it brings the summer specials at the Strantz pair. Check maintenance dates before you fix a summer round: Barefoot aerates its four courses one at a time between 7 June and 24 July 2027 and asks for 10 to 12 days of recovery, and Tidewater aerates from 1 to 8 August, reopening on the 9th.
Questions golfers ask.
What are the best golf courses in Myrtle Beach?
For tournament pedigree, The Dunes Golf & Beach Club, home of the PGA Tour’s Myrtle Beach Classic. For rankings among public courses, Tidewater (39th in Golf Digest’s 2023–24 list) and Barefoot’s Love Course (53rd in 2007). For design, the two Mike Strantz courses at Pawleys Island, Caledonia and True Blue.
Can visitors play The Dunes Golf & Beach Club?
Yes, through its online guest tee-time engine, though members come first and the number of guest times varies by day and hour. A credit card secures the booking, and the club enforces a dress code with no denim and shirts tucked in.
How much does golf cost in Myrtle Beach?
Published rates start at US$89 for a summer 2027 afternoon at True Blue, US$95 for a winter midweek round at Barefoot and US$109 at Caledonia. Spring is dearest, with Barefoot reaching US$235. The Dunes Club, TPC, Pine Lakes, Grande Dunes and Tidewater show their price only for a chosen date.
Where can kids play golf free in Myrtle Beach?
TPC Myrtle Beach, Pine Lakes, Grande Dunes and Tidewater all let children of 16 and under play free with a paying adult. At Tidewater the offer runs all year, but you book the adults online and phone the golf shop to add the junior.
Can I play Caledonia and True Blue on the same trip?
Yes. The two Strantz courses face each other across the road, and a combined rate covers one round on each within seven days, paid in full at whichever you play first; blackout dates apply. Caledonia has no range of its own, so warm up at True Blue.
Which Myrtle Beach courses have hosted professional golf?
The Dunes Club staged the 1962 U.S. Women’s Open and six Senior Tour Championships before the PGA Tour arrived in 2024. TPC Myrtle Beach hosted the 2000 Senior Tour Championship, won by Tom Watson, and an NCAA Regional in 2019.
