Keeping in mind that different people look for different things in courses. I've played a few of the ones you listed. The Meadowlands, Wicked Stick, Carolina National & Waterway Hills. I don't know whether or not you know this, but Carolina National and Meadowlands are in N.C., although they are considered to be Myrtle Beach. And Wicked Stick is toward the south end of the Myrtle Beach area, so there is a significant drive if you're staying in the south part of Myrtle Beach (Surfside Beach, Murrell's Inlet) and have to drive all the way to Carolina National, which is even farther than Meadowlands.

My personal preferences, of the ones I've played: 1. Carolina National, 2. Wicked Stick, 3. Meadowlands, and 4. Waterway Hills. In all honesty, I would be delighted to play any of them. Sorry not to have more info for you.

My picks and why.
Sea Trails maples is my favorite of the 3 there
Diamondback will give you all you want and is usually in good shape.

Definitely drive to Carolina national as it has 3 nines and you can play 27 and all 3 are GREAT Courses
Aberdeen is a good solid Lesser course that also had 3 nines though one may be closed but still solid choice.

Hey, I went down last year. I stayed at the Breakers, found it to be the best deal and decent accomodations. We played Wicked Stick the first day, liked it, played eagles nest the second, did not and played both Myrtlewoods (Palmetto & Pine hills, both of which I found to be quite decent) the final day before the 16 hour drive home (long ass day).

You may want to look at mbgolfwizard.com (i think, if not google myrtle beach golf wizard) found it to be quite informative, it is interactive so you can see what is available.

Hope this helps and I got this in on time for you, enjoy, by the way last year in mid-feb, it was about 16-20 deg. celcius, pack some longer stuff especially for mornings and evenings.

Check broadway at the beach for the restaurants and stuff, and the northern outlet mall is much better than the one to the west (check reebok store for greg norman wear).

I agree with flap and eatsleepdrink on the picks. You don't want to be bouncing between NC/North Myrtle and the south end of the strand. You'll spend more time driving than playing. Carolina National is way up in NC - near southport. But with 27 holes, you may not need a second course that day.

If you're going to be playing some of your rounds in (Brunswick County) N.C., I highly recommend River's Edge http://www.river18.com/gallery.html , an Arnold Palmer course in/near Shallotte if it's available on your golf package. It's a little closer to North Myrtle Beach than Carolina National, but River's Edge has only 18 holes, not 27 like Carolina National. Wherever you play, have a great trip, y'all.

    • First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.  
    • I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?
    • What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛 
    • It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
