Myrtle Beach is humming along! Looks like all the numbers of rounds in Myrtle is up, so, this report, even though is a year old, still holds no value. Myrtle Beach is humming along!

Someone once told me that "the war ain't over down here" and I believe it! All that being said the course quality and everything else that goes into a successful golf trip is definitely available in abundance in MB We're heading down next week for our 3rd annual trip and do not expect to be disappointed...we haven't been yet.

I have ran a trip down there for 10 years straight, and on the east coast, I have never been able to come close to the value, courses, quality and night life all rolled into one trip. As a side note, I have never ever used them as a packager, I have always used barbie at Beach Vacations, so there is no bias to sell for them or anything. I think you are way off base.

Do not belive this smoke they blow, the industry down there is in dire strasights look at all the course closings previous to the economy folding. The place way overmarketed itself and has shotty at best iffy type weather year round. Look at all the national data and I do not see MB in any top category at all for economy/tourism,in fact it ranks near the bottom. Not to say Arizona or Vegas is doing better ,they are not but heck weather wise and quality of courses per price are far superior. True Blue ect those type courses are at best average in other markets yet charge a 155 dollar surcharge. The area used to be cheap golf ect,it overpriced itself and hopefully out of business. Those two clowns at MBGT are morons, Yankmeister he calls himself is a jagoff and RavenVBoy is a jock sniffin beady eyed self centered weenie.

The forums is frequented by many locals, trip leaders, and golf pros from area courses. It is the most accurate, and unbiased view of Myrtle Beach there is. I tend to believe and trust their judgement way more than anyone else on the web. Also, 3 cheers for Barbie Chestnut at Beach Vacations, another person's opinions and judgements on golf which is beyond reproach.

Some of them are but the main two putz loving bone buddies are actually from Fairyland and Pizzburg PA so do not pay attention to a word those two bonesmugglers say.

He is a plant by some website who thinks they know all. All that site does is give wrong advice and spin to those who visit,heck you may even get VD from Jeff as he likes to hot tub with multiple men and burries his ham sammich in the wrong place.
