Avocet

The low country terrain that defines this part of South Carolina tends to reward course designers with natural water features, stands of longleaf pine, and the kind of flat, open land that allows for generous fairway corridors alongside tighter, more strategic stretches. Par 72 layouts here typically mix risk-reward par 5s with demanding approaches on the shorter holes, giving players of different skill levels something to work with across the full round.

Myrtle Beach golf is unapologetically social in character — cart-friendly, pace-conscious, and oriented around the enjoyment of the game rather than its punishment. Avocet fits that culture, offering the kind of straightforward, well-maintained round that has made the Grand Strand one of the most visited golf destinations in the country.
