Last year we did Myrtle at the beginning of March. Got to play MBN West, South and North + Willbrook and Riverclub.

It's a 16 hour drive.

This year we're contemplating Gulfport, MS. It's a 10 hour drive.

The question is should we go back to Myrtle or take the shorter drive and do Gulfport?

Chi Chi,

I just voted for Myrtle Beach, but I have a pretty slanted view. I live here and own a independant golf package company that sets up great MB golf packages. I'm not sure what's allowed on here and don't want to be thought of as a spammer, but I love setting these things up.

I met my wife on my MB golf trip of 1992 ( I'm from Canada) so if MB is your final choice-----BE CAREFUL!!!

Like MauditeGolf, I am also from Canada and Myrtle has the combo of night life and golf we desire. We go there twice a year - May and November. I like it there so much I bought property in Sunset Beach NC. (15 mins into North Carolina- Has me close enough to the circus of Myrtle, but just far enough to have some peace and quiet).

I went to Hilton Head Island earlier this year, I'm not too sure about the golf, but the beaches just aren't that good. Maybe the side I was on or something.

Are you crazy? The beaches in Myrtle are flooded with people in the summer, myrtle has become way too tacky. Hilton head is refined and layed back. You can find a spot on the beach there and not have anyone within 300 yards of you. GREAT golf in a 20 mile radius, not to mention great dining. Also in hilton head you wont be flooded with 16 year olds, this may or may not be an advantage depending on who you talk to.

I won't muddy the waters with facts, but i will tell you that MB CATERS to golfers. CATERS. They get jealous if people go other places for golf. I like that aspect.

Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail might be an alternative.

As a golfer, Gulfport has not caught my attention, so let me just arrogantly state: they didn't do their job so I can't vouch for it as a golf destination.

If there is great golf in Gulfport, others will have to attest. And as someone who is a student/sucker for good marketing or ad campaigns, they have to be falling down on the job if they haven't gotten my attention. Thank you for letting me be unfair.

Heaven is 630 a.m. Saturday morning, 65 crisp degrees headed toward a comfortable 80, first tee (elevated, of course) . . . and not another worry in the world.

Thanks. It is the Golf Capital of the World, without question.

It's not only that MB caters to golfers -- it's just that everyone in town or from out of town golfs. GOLFS.

And that dude you think is dressed like a biker bum and doesn't golf? He GOLFS. GOLFS.

I do not want to hijack your thread but I am planning a trip in Feb '08 to MB and have never been. Can someone provide a good website for course reviews or a general guide to the courses... seems most google search results return bloated nonsense.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      12 July 25 - Got invited to a Sat morning round with some friends.  Was a decent round - sort of a pre-tournament round for the 1st of Aug.  Best play of the day - lost ball off the tee on 7.  Took the drop, hit 3rd onto the green, missed the par putt by 3 inches short - middle of cup.  Was a good bogie recovery.  Learned a valuable lesson - the wedge is your friend, the collars on the greens are just long enough that they kill the putter (unless you hammer it).  Back to more of those nice chip and roll drills. &nbsp

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Didn't score better, but made better swings on the course today. I found a bit of success on range pre-round, just hitting like what felt like 60-70% shots. It was more right elbow and right wrist angles in the downswing. Driver took a bit to work out the giant toe push draws I was hitting.

      The TST Member Tournament Play Thread

      Played in the first round of Shawnee Hills  course tournament. went 42+46. Just lost energy on the back nine.  Lots of pars and way too many big scores. Course has a lot of areas to lose a golf ball. This is the adjusted score.  I had to return to the tee twice. The first the guy I played with didn’t tell me my ball bounced into the trees behind the green. 😡 the 2nd one I hit a decent draw over the corner of a slight dog leg left. I didn’t know 15-20 yards from the fairways was nasty weeds. I also 4 putted and 3 putted a few times. I flubbed like two chips. Too long of backswing.  I was happy with my ball striking. Probably B-. Found a bit of something on the range before the round. I’m starting to actually feel my right arm position better with what I am working on. I striped some irons today.
