Myrtle Beach is one of the top is one of the top golf destinations in the United States, with more than 80 courses along the Grand Strand. With so many choices, it’s hard to know what courses to book when you take that buddy trip south.

I have only been fortunate enough to have played three of the ones on that list: Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, Grande Dunes and Pine Lakes. Caledonia, for what it’s worth, is on my list of top ten courses I’ve played — anywhere.

Still, I’m glad to know that two of the three I’ve played are in the top 20 courses list.

What I’ve got to do is figure out a way to get to Myrtle Beach in the late fall or early Spring, to take advantage of the area’s excellent weather.
