There are more than 100 Myrtle Beach golf courses. But on a Myrtle Beach vacation, you might want to stay put. Here is a look at Sea Trail Plantation, an excellent, multi-course resort with golf courses by William Byrd, Dan Maples and Rees Jones.

Sandpiper Bay is not a destination Myrtle Beach golf course, but you can combine any of its three nine-hole tracks for an enjoyable "off-day" in between your more anticipated Myrtle Beach rounds of golf.

Tampa's newest boutique golf resort, Emerald Greens boasts 27 holes of Dan Maples-designed golf (and positively decadent air-conditioned golf carts!), plus luxury villas, a spa, restaurants, tennis and aquatic centers, and more.
