Golfers’ Paradise: Myrtle Beach National Delivers Variety, Value & Location

Some golfers are still pulling together plans for their 2025 trip to Myrtle Beach, meaning there are stay-and-play decisions still to be made.

The Grand Strand offers plenty of options on both fronts, but as the heart of spring approaches, here is a closer look at why Myrtle Beach National, one of the area’s bedrock facilities, remains as popular as ever.

Play one of Arnie’s best
All three courses at Myrtle Beach National are Arnold Palmer designs, but King’s North is at the top of the marquee, offering a chance to play one of South Carolina’s premier layouts. Always one of Palmer’s favorites, his protege, Brandon Johnson, renovated the front nine in the summer of 2024 and will do the same to the back this summer, offering golfers the unique opportunity to enjoy a look at “the old” and “the new” King’s North. With courses nationwide undergoing renovations, playing King’s North in this transition phase offers a unique experience, especially for golf architecture aficionados.

Variety is the spice of life
While King’s North attracts the lion’s share of the attention, Myrtle Beach National is a 54-hole facility, and both SouthCreek and the West Course – lower-profile Palmer designs – are outstanding additions to any golf trip. The West Course is arguably Myrtle Beach’s most player-friendly layout, giving you the chance to go low, while SouthCreek offers players the middle ground among the property’s three courses.

Location, location, location
Located along Highway 501, the primary artery into the area, Myrtle Beach National enjoys a prime location. It’s perfect for a round on your arrival or departure day, but it’s easily accessible from the numerous oceanfront properties no matter when you play. Put another way, in addition to great golf, Myrtle Beach National is exceedingly convenient.

36 holes today?
Baseball legend Ernie Banks once famously said, “Let’s play two today,” and there are few better places to do so than Myrtle Beach National. Your group can enjoy two vastly different golf experiences on the same property, and that’s a win.

Value always matters
Whether you want to play a top 100 caliber layout or you’re looking for a good time and the chance to score, Myrtle Beach National checks every box when it comes to delivering value. King’s North, SouthCreek and the West Course deliver the type of return that has long made Myrtle Beach the game’s most popular destination.
