Myrtle Beach is a year-round golf destination, with courses open and playable throughout the year. But depending on when you visit, you may experience different weather patterns, crowds, and other factors that can impact your overall golf experience. Here’s a look at the best time of year to visit Myrtle Beach for golf:
Fall: September through November
Fall is arguably the best time of year to visit Myrtle Beach for golf. The weather is mild and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from the low 70s to the mid 80s. The fall also tends to be less crowded than the summer months, with fewer tourists and lower rates for accommodations and greens fees.
Winter: December through February
While the winter months in Myrtle Beach can be chilly, with temperatures averaging in the mid 50s, it’s still possible to enjoy a round of golf. The courses are generally less crowded during the winter, and rates for accommodations and greens fees are often lower. Just make sure to pack appropriate clothing and be prepared for the occasional cold snap.
Spring: March through May
Spring is another great time of year to visit Myrtle Beach for golf. The weather is mild and comfortable, with temperatures ranging from the low 60s to the low 80s. The spring also tends to be less crowded than the summer months, with fewer tourists and lower rates for accommodations and greens fees.
Summer: June through August
Summer is the busiest time of year in Myrtle Beach, with crowds of tourists flocking to the area for its beaches, attractions, and of course, its golf courses. While the weather can be hot and humid, with temperatures averaging in the mid to upper 80s, it’s still possible to enjoy a round of golf early in the morning or late in the evening. Just be prepared for higher rates for accommodations and greens fees, as well as longer wait times at popular courses.
Ultimately, the best time of year to visit Myrtle Beach for golf depends on your personal preferences and priorities. Whether you’re looking for mild weather, fewer crowds, or lower rates, there’s a season that’s right for you.
Why would anyone golf in Summer at Myrtle Beach? Waiting time goes up, rates go up, and don’t get me started on the humid weather. A big thumbs down from me.
Tried playing in the Summer last year and let me just say this… NEVER AGAIN! Too hot, too many people and the rates are through the roof! Team ‘Golf in Fall’ all the way!!
Haha, yeah summer can be a scorcher and crowded. Team ‘Golf in Fall’ scores another member!
I went golfing in winter last year and had an absolute blast. The courses weren’t too crowded which allowed us to take our time. Plus the lower greens fees were a real money saver.
Winter golf has its charm, doesn’t it? Less crowded greens and saving a few bucks is always a plus.
Interesting read! I’ll keep all this in mind when planning my next golf trip to Myrtle Beach. Anyone know if there are certain courses that might be better to visit during the different seasons?
Couldn’t agree more about Fall being the best season! The weather is just perfect for a good round of golf. Plus the crowd is so much better.
Agreed! Nothing beats a good autumn walk on the golf course.
