Tidewater Golf Club Anchors Two of Myrtle Beach’s Premier Golf Packages

CHERRY GROVE, S.C. -- Myrtle Beach’s 2021 spring golf season is rapidly approaching, and Tidewater Golf Club anchors two area packages group leaders are flocking to.

Long regarded as one of America’s best public layouts, Tidewater has nine holes that play along either Cherry Grove Inlet or the Intracoastal Waterway, providing natural beauty few courses along the East Coast can match. That beauty makes the Ken Tomlinson design one players can build a trip around as part of the Myrtle Beach Elite and Coastal Escape golf packages. 

The Elite has long been one of the area’s most popular deals, allowing golfers the chance to pair Tidewater with Prestwick, Arrowhead and Arcadian Shores, all layouts that are ranked among Myrtle Beach’s top 20 golf courses.

There are few better four-round packages in the Carolinas. A trip lineup that consists of Tidewater and courses designed by Rees Jones (Arcadian Shores), P.B. Dye (Prestwick) and two-time Masters champion Raymond Floyd (Arrowhead) is a recipe for a dream golf vacation.

The Coastal Escape allows golfers in search of a value-centric trip to play a bucket list course. Joining Tidewater as part of the Coastal Escape are Azalea Sands, Eagle Nest, Brunswick Plantation, Beachwood, Whispering Pines and Arcadian Shores. Golfers can play two or more rounds, choosing among the six courses, starting at $75 per day.

Regardless of which package a group leader chooses, Tidewater serves as an unforgettable centerpiece. The par 4, fourth hole, a gentle dogleg left that plays along Cherry Grove, and the 13th, a par 5 that offers a distant view of the Atlantic Ocean, are unforgettable. But No. 16 is no less memorable, especially when a sailboat passes by on the Intracoastal, providing an idyllic backdrop for the course’s finishing stretch.
