Myrtle Beach in Autumn
The weather is lovely in Myrtle
Beach in the autumn. The climate accentuates the relaxed feeling of
golf. The courses are beautiful and moderate in the autumn, as they
are not too hot or too cold. There are several amazing courses to
choose from, and wonderful golf packages at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
If you enjoy relaxing, these are wonderful options for your golfing
desires.
The temperatures might be anywhere from the forties to the sixties
in the autumn. Because the weather is dependably mild, these are the
months when northeasterners, Canadians and Europeans flock to the
Strand. Myrtle Beach has over a hundred courses without beach bums
and excruciating heat. The passing of Labor Day weekend signifies
the end of the beach season
and the beginning of the peak fall golf season. Whether you are looking
for something traditional like The Dunes Golf and Beach Club or something
more low-key, Myrtle Beach has plenty of great tracks at which to
take full advantage of this delightful pre-winter break.
One course is at Barefoot Resort. Love Course Davis Love III had his
work cut out for him when laying out this 7,000-yard track, competing
with Barefoot Resort designs by Pete Dye, Tom Fazio and Greg Norman.
Love's entry is usually rated Barefoot's best. He did get a head start
in the form of a beautiful piece of property that goes through an
old plantation, so you can feel the historical aspect of the south,
while enjoying your trip simultaneously. This course was ranked 38th
in Golf Digest's 100 Greatest Public Golf
Courses 2005-2006, the Love Course's wide fairways and spacious
landing areas make it a pleasure to play.
The Glen Dornoch Waterway Golf Link is a Scottish-themed golf course,
which is one of best in Myrtle Beach, and that is saying something
in a town with over 100 tracks to choose from. It even won awards
from Myrtle Beach Golf Magazine in 2003 and 2004 and has been recognized
in Sports Illustrated.
Another course is uses the Clyde Johnston design. This has a glorious
view of the surrounding marshes and is challenging without being overbearing.
The Dunes Golf
and Beach Club is another course that is beautiful in the southeastern
autumn months. This course opened in 1948, and is one of the Grand
Strand's most revered tracks. This Robert Trent Jones Sr. design is
consistently rated one of America's Top 100 courses. The Dunes has
hosted the Senior Tour Championships and the Women's U.S. Open. The
Dunes' rolling terrain, filled with live oaks, is breathtaking, and
the bunkering is sure to pose a challenge.
