1831.0. "More Info needed on Myrtle Beach"" by MKOTS3::CONTI () Wed Jan 26 1994 16:34

    
    
    A group of us are planning tohead to Myrtle Beach in the March/April
    timeframe. It is our 1st trip down there.
    I have looked at other notes in here but still have some questions
    
    Does anyone know of a condo for rent for 4-8 people (all adult males)
    
    What should we look for in price range for 6 days/nights
    
    We will probably drive down to save money as airfare is costly
    
    Any suggestions on courses, places to go at night, restraunts
    
    Any and all information and or experiences are welcome.
    
    Thank You in Advance

1831.1NACAD::NISKALAWhen will it all end?Thu Jan 27 1994 07:526
    	I'd certainly recommend sending away for the free MB planner that
    is listed in Golf Digest. I think there is a 800 number that you can
    call and have it sent also. It will list numerous places that should
    fit the bill. It's been about 5 years since I was down there last so
    I can't give and idea on the prices. For night time you may want to
    head to the Doll House for a gentleman's evening of entertainment...

    Hey Steve,
    
    You lucky Devil! It is a good idea to get the Myrtle Beach Golf
    planner, it is a nice magazine that provides a heck of a lot of Info.
    regarding places to stay and places to play. I stayed at the Ocean
    Forest Condos last time I was there and the Unit that I rented slept 6.
    What was nice is that these units offered kitchens so that you could
    whip up your own food quick and easy. Also the Ocean Forest units are
    part of the Sands Resort Hotels and they offer a Super buffet style 
    breakfast (free with stay) from 6:00 to 10:00 each morning. 
    
    	Places that I played and really enjoyed:
    
    			- Blackmoor (Gary Player Signature)
    			- Marsh Harbour 
    			- Indian Wells
    			- Buck Creek
    
    Check out the happy hours that go on down there so you can get some
    good "Cheap Eats" and concentrate more on the Golf!
    
    Phone number for the Sands Resort 1-800-845-6701
    Phone number for the Free Golf Holiday brochure 1-800-845-4653
    
    Have Fun!

1831.4Some more info.ANDREW::OSTROMETP Engineering Mgr.Fri Jan 28 1994 09:5419
    8 of us are going down in about a month, too.  We are staying at Sea
    Trails, they have condos for 8, and 3 golf courses (Rees Jones, Dan?
    Maples, ? Byrd), so 2 days we're staying there to play, too (one
    course gets played twice).  I'm using frequent flyer miles, but some
    of the others have been able to get air fare for $150 round trip, if
    you stay over a Saturday night.

    Various permutaions of this group have been going down every year for
    about 10 years.  Some of the favorite courses include:
    
                Heather Glen
                Heritage Plantation
                Marsh Harbor

    I've only been once before, if you want more info I can point you to
    the person who "coordinates" our trip.

1831.5PAWLEYS ISLANDAIMHI::MAKIFri Jan 28 1994 11:215
    Check out some of the "night" spots around the Pawleys
    Island area.  It's right close to Heritage Gardens,
    which is an excellent course to play.  Pawleys has raw
    bar places, cajun cookin' restaurants, and just about all
    types of cuisine.  Enjoy, and hit em straight.
1831.6$150 round trip ??CTHQ::SCARBERMon Jan 31 1994 12:548
    I'm going down in March as well and was resigned to drive. I'd like to
    hear what airline has a $150 round trip to Myrtle Beach. Is that from
    Boston? Thanks. It's my first tripp down as well so I'd appreciate any
    tips here as well as the original author. 
    
    Thanks.
    
                                                 
1831.7"flights"?AIMHI::KCUMMINGSWed Feb 09 1994 09:174
    
    Has anyone had any luck with flight rates down to Myrtle beach?? 
    
    The best I seen so far has been 275 round trip?
1831.8Prices for March 1994MKOTS1::FOX_AFri Feb 11 1994 23:569
    Eight of us are flying down week of March 5th. It is costing $56 per
    night including a round of golf and a cart. The rooms have a kitchen
    and are dbl occupancy. Courses offered are limited but I've played some
    of them before and they are quality courses.
    
    One of our group is not using free tickets and it cost about $150 from
    Boston but those fares are limited.
    
    The place we are staying is called Carolina Summer Sands.
1831.9Motel Recommendations?ANDREW::OSTROMETP Engineering Mgr.Tue Feb 22 1994 16:0310
    As I said in a previous note, 8 of us are headed to Myrtle Beach next
    week for golf.  Two of us are arriving a day earlier (Sunday), and
    our condo isn't available until Monday.  Does anyone have suggestions
    for a moderate but clean/safe/decent place to stay on Sunday night.
    I was thinking of one of the hundreds of motels along Ocean Blvd.,
    but in the planner book they all look the same.  Anyone have any
    suggestions????

    I have stayed at the PALMS and it was clean and the people were very
    nice.
1831.11Thanks anyway.ANDREW::OSTROMETP Engineering Mgr.Thu Feb 24 1994 15:455

1831.12Room at the INNXCUSME::GRAY_JFri Mar 18 1994 14:237
    Andy, I will be going to MB in May with some 40 Decies from the
    Greenbelt area. I was able to secure a $150 round trip air fair
    from Boston, however I need to stay over an extra day.  Have you 
    been able to locate a (clean, reasonably priced) place to stay 
    for your extra night?
    
    
1831.13Myrtle Beach ReportLJSRV2::EARLYSteve Early - DTN 226-2758Tue Apr 05 1994 11:4739
    My brother and I just got back from MB. We had a blast. Didn't
    hit the ball very well, but what the heck.  
    
    I worked through a travel agent in my home town to put a package
    together. She got us a round trip plane ticket, 4 nights accomodations
    at a very nice condo (Radison - Kingston Plantation), a rental car, and 
    2 rounds of golf (we got to pick from a pretty long list of courses) for 
    about $750 per person. I thought that was a pretty good deal. 
    
    Courses we played for "free" as part of our package were:
    
    	Island Green
    	Beachwood
    
    I liked both of these courses, although we had more fun with Island
    Green.
    
    On our own, we went out and played at Wild Wing on the Avocet Course
    (they have three 18 hole courses on the property). This place was
    awesome. Each golf cart has its own supply of ice water, ball cleaner,
    and club cleaner. Yardage is marked every 25 yards on the side of the 
    fairway in addition to on the sprinkler heads. It was the first time
    I ever had a starter hand me a score card and a computer generated map
    of the greens. "Good morning gentlement - here are today's pin
    placements on the greens."
    
    It normally costs about $100 to play there, but we ran into someone who
    told us that they have afternoon specials quite frequently at this
    course. We got on for $42, which I thought was a pretty good deal
    considering the type of course it was ... challenging to say the very
    least.
    
    We both agreed that we'd go back to MB to play golf - probably will
    too.
