How To Get The Best Spring Tee Times In Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach inches toward spring a lot faster than the Northeast and Midwest. By mid-February, the days are longer and warmer, and by March, flowers and trees are budding. By April –as any fan of The Masters knows — spring is busting out all over the south.

While spring is the time for those from colder climates to head south for golf, January is the time you should be planning your vacation and booking tee times.

To help you along, here are some tips to help you package the best golf vacation ever:

Lock in your morning 18′s asap. Morning tee times are the most popular in spring because a lot of golfers plan on getting in 36 holes each day. Popular courses like Heather Glen, Glen Dornoch, Shaftesbury Glen and Possum Trot fill up their morning tee sheets fast.

Book replays when you book your morning rounds. Pretty sure your group will play 36 a day? Spring is the busiest time for golf  in Myrtle Beach. Lock in those afternoon tee times now or you may find your group playing just 18 on a beautiful spring day.

Ask About Free Replays. Spring is high season, but you can still find bargains.  Book your morning tee times at courses that offer free replays in the afternoons. You’ll end up paying just cart fees when you replay, and you can save big. When you book your vacation, tell the golf director you want to reserve your free replay times now.

Get More Out Of Your Accommodations. Don’t end up in a tiny motel room tripping over your roommate. Book a Myrtle Beach villa early and you’ll be luxuriating in all that space in the spring. Stretch your dollars by selecting accommodations that deliver a little something out of the ordinary.

For example,  at The Village of the Glens,  you can work on your putting on  a gigantic practice putting green in the courtyard between villas. A few steps away, there are outdoor grills for guests. Put on some steaks, tap a keg and your group has a low cost –but memorable – evening out.

Or try Shaftesbury Suites, a cluster of just 5 spacious apartments over the pro shop in the Shaftesbury Glen English manor clubhouse.  Guests staying in the suites get the run of the pub after hours, can lounge on the deck overlooking the Waccamaw River, and walk to the first tee.
