Tidewater Golf Club | 1400 Tidewater Dr.

Tidewater Golf Club sits between the Intracoastal Waterway and Cherry Grove, just north of Myrtle Beach. With rolling greens, plush fairways, and serene views of the ocean and surrounding waterways, this course instantly became a golfer favorite after its 1990 opening. Tidewater Golf Club was designed by South Carolina native Ken Tomlinson, keeping the area’s already-intricate landscape in mind to inspire his design.

Long Bay Golf Club | 350 FoxTail Dr.

This Founders Collection course features a signature design by The Golden Bear himself, Jack Nicklaus. Long Bay Golf Club is located just outside of North Myrtle Beach, off Highway 9 in Longs.

Grande Dunes Resort Club | 8700 Golf Village Ln.

Located north of the Myrtle Beach airport, Grande Dunes is situated on a high bluff along the Intracoastal Waterway and is one of the longest courses in America. The National Golf Course Owners Association of America has even once named this course “National Golf Course of the Year.”

From waters ports to late-night dancing, here is a list of our favorite Myrtle Beach spring break activities, dining, shopping, and nightlife.

Myrtle Beach Spring Break Activities

Kayaking in Myrtle Beach

While spring might still be a bit cool for a dip in the ocean, kayaking is a great way to be on the water without getting too wet.
