Bargain golf vacation could lead to bargain vacation home in Myrtle Beach area

         Who among us can resist bragging about bargains we have landed?  My go-to bargain story is the week in 1969 I spent playing golf in Myrtle Beach with a friend.  We took advantage of a golf package that included lodging in an oceanfront room in the heart of town; 36 holes a day (I was much younger then), cart included; a hot breakfast each morning; an oyster roast a couple of late afternoons during the week; and an hour of free beer at 5 p.m. each day by the hotel’s pool. And each of us received a dozen golf balls.  Okay, they weren’t Titleists, or even Slazengers, but we were only 21 and not about to look a gift horse in the mouth, especially one bearing free beer.  The cost of the entire week of golf and everything else was just $99.  And that’s why I brag about it.

         Today there are 115 golf courses along the Grand Strand, and intervening years of inflation have pushed “bargain” golf package prices for a week of golf into the $200s and beyond.  But those who take advantage of an impressive Myrtle Beach golf package currently on offer for December 10 into February could very well have something to brag about in coming

years.  The Legends Resort, with its three excellent golf courses and impressive practice facility, is offering accommodations, unlimited golf with cart, a free lunch, free dinner, free drink, two free beers, unlimited use of the practice range and a $20 discount card, all for $94, taxes included.  The only catch, a small one, is that you need to be part of a foursome that stays in one of The Legends golf villas.  And while you need to check the fine print and ask all the right questions, we have played all The Legends golf courses and like them a lot.  You can find the details of this bargain-priced golf package and sign up here through the Myrtle Beach Golf Directors web site. (Note:  We do not receive any compensation or consideration of any kind from Myrtle Beach Golf Directors.)

         Golf courses on the package include the Heathland, Parkland and Moorland courses on The Legends site, Oyster Bay just over the state line in North Carolina and Heritage Golf Club in Pawleys Island, about a half-hour drive from The Resort.  And while you are there, you might consider visiting some of the properties for sale on the sprawling Legends Resort property.  Condos start at prices under $100,000 making them a viable choice as a getaway vacation home.
