Located right in the heart of North Myrtle Beach, Beachwood Golf Club is a traditional, player-friendly course that’s been welcoming golfers since 1968. Known for its wide fairways, minimal forced carries, and casual atmosphere, it’s the kind of course you’ll want to return to year after year—especially if you’re looking for a laid-back round that’s easy on the scorecard and the wallet.

This is vintage Myrtle Beach golf, designed with fun in mind.

The Golfer’s Review

Beachwood is what Myrtle Beach golf used to be—and still should be in some cases: affordable, accessible, and enjoyable for all skill levels. This is not a “resort course” in the glitzy sense, but it’s well-maintained and consistently fun. It’s also a favorite among locals, who know a good deal when they see one.

This is a course where you can walk if you want, play quick, and not lose a dozen balls in the process.
