Ttimes Only Blog - Myrtle Beach Golf News and FAQs

Need to vent about your experience at a Myrtle Beach golf course? Maybe you had an extraordinary experience that you'd like to let the world know about? A Zagat Survey has been posted on the Zagat Web site at http://www.zagat.com, allowing golfers the opportunity to vote on golf courses all across the country.

The survey asks golfers not only what they think about the courses they played, but also the facilities, level of customer service, the cost they paid to play and their opinion on the value. Not only is the survey free to participant in, golfers who cast their vote prior to September 29, 2008, will receive a free copy of Zagat's 2009 America's Top Golf Courses upon publication of the magazine.

 Zagat claims their survey content is based solely on the feedback from everyday people, not professional critics, so participation is paramount. Once you log onto the site, you'll be prompted to fill out some information that will allow you to save your survey information and go back to it at a later date, or even revise your original opinions. The golf course survey is found under the "featured survey" heading. Happy voting!

As mentioned previously, Clay, our golf package pro at TtimesOnly.com, has a great understanding of Myrtle Beach golf courses. After years of some good (and some very awful) golf-filled weekends, he’s become an unofficial authority on the topic of what to play, and what to avoid at all costs. At my request, again, Clay stepped up to the plate to offer his suggestions for the Most Fun golf courses to play in Myrtle Beach.

Although Crown Park is one of the newest courses on the Grand Strand, our course has a classic design.  The architect chose not to over power the vacationing golfer with overbearing length, but instead to challenge our guests with ball placement and accuracy.    Measuring only 6502 yards from the back tees the course may seem tame on paper, but our tree lined fairways and undulating greens offer a sufficient test for all skill levels.   You may pay a high price for an offline tee shot at Crown Park; however, if you are able find the fairway you can take full advantage of our length.  That’s why accuracy is at a premium when playing Crown Park Golf Club. 

Glen Dornoch is famous in the Myrtle Beach for the risk/reward choices it offers golfers of all abilities.  You won’t find it too lengthy, but you will find a demand for accuracy.  Take one of our signature holes # 16 for example;

The Double Tee system is widely used in Myrtle Beach. This occurs on approximately 80% of the courses in Myrtle Beach. The courses tee off golfers from approximately 7:00am to 9:30 (depending on the season) on #1 and #10 at the same time. When the golfers finish their 9-holes of golf, approximately 2 ½ hours later, they cross over to the other side of the course. Therefore there are no times available from 9:30-12:00. The process begins all over again at 12:00. Each course is different and these starting and ending times may vary from course to course by 15-30 minutes.
