UCGE 2016

THE ULTIMATE COASTAL GOLF EXPERIENCE

~ Myrtle Beach ~ o here we are, another year has come and gone.

Happy New Year and may 2016 be filled with golf, golf and more golf! This issue of the Ultimate Coastal Golf Experience features a nice variety of golf packages that are very accessible and affordable. With the holidays behind you and spring around the corner, there is no better time than right now to focus on your Myrtle Beach golf vacation.

The Grand Strand features over a hundred amazing layouts and most of them have earned a lot of awards and accolades. Along with the choice of golf courses, guests also have an outstanding lineup of fabulous accommodations to choose from. If you find your head is spinning with these decisions you have to make, rest assured, you’re not alone.

Help is indeed at your fingertips.

As you page through this issue, you’ll come across several reputable package providers. These companies are very reliable and their local knowledge is a big plus when one is seeking good advice. They are well aware that you want the best bang for your buck and they are willing, ready and able to help you. Their motto… “a satisfied customer is a happy customer”.

There are a host of stunning golf courses, and some have been designed by world famous names that are synonymous with golf. For example; Dye, Fazio, Floyd, Jones, Love, Norman and of course the legendary Big Three;

S

Palmer, Player and Nicklaus. Their uncanny ability to visualize while they design is evident in their layouts. They have created spectacular and challenging courses that provide countless hours of enjoyment.

As always, there are a few facilities that stand out from the rest of the pack, Legends Golf Resort, Barefoot Golf Resort, Tidewater Golf Club, The Big Cats at Ocean Ridge Plantation and the East Coast Golf Management lineup. Some of the above mentioned facilities offer their own “stay and play” golf packages while others have a consortium of courses that have combined to offer “add on” values.

Most gofers that visit Myrtle Beach understandably focus on the golf courses, but equally important is where you would like to stay. Your golf director will take a lot into consideration when booking your lodgings and there is certainly not a shortage of comfy accommodations at the beach.

There are also an impressive variety of restaurants and sports bars. Visitors can also look forward to exciting nightlife and live entertainment. The process in requesting a quote has never been easier. Simply go online and click on the “Quote Request” tab, then answer a handful of questions… hit submit and keep an eye on your inbox. The earlier you do this, the sooner you'll lock in your preferred tee times. These providers are good at what they do and will be happy to help make your Myrtle Beach golf trip an enjoyable experience.

We wish you safe and happy golf travels in 2016!
