CHERRY GROVE, S.C. – Tidewater Golf Club is universally regarded as one of Myrtle Beach’s best courses and the reasons for its appeal are many, but sometimes lost in the layout’s beauty, conditioning and customer service is its commitment to growing the game.

Tidewater is an eager participant in the Myrtle Beach golf community’s “Kids Play Free” program, allowing children 16 and under to play for no charge when accompanied by a paying adult. The initiative lets mom or dad play a top 100 caliber course while introducing their children to the game, creating memories that can last a lifetime. 

A round at Tidewater is one young players will enjoy as much as their parents. With nine holes that play along either the Intracoastal Waterway or Cherry Grove Inlet, the course’s visuals are indelibly etched into the mind of everyone who tees it up.

On a course full of memorable challenges, the par 3 third and 12th holes are among the most popular. The multi-tiered third green borders Cherry Grove while No. 12 plays to peninsula green that demands a carry over the tidal marsh. 

Not to be outdone, the par 5 13th hole will provide a chance for parents to point out the distant view of the Atlantic, making Tidewater one of the only two courses in the area to offer ocean views. Adding to the enjoyment of the round is Tidewater’s commitment to customer service, providing the game’s next generation of players the opportunity to enjoy a premium golf experience.

The “Kids Play Free” program is at its peak during the summer months, when families flock to the area to enjoy a beach vacation. Given Tidewater’s proximity to the ocean, it provides a great layout that is easy to access for a family that wants to escape the sand and surf for a few hours.
