Myrtle Beach golf trip cost: a value and a splurge budget, line by line

A Myrtle Beach golf trip cost comes down to courses and season. For four rounds in fall 2026, green fees ran from about $315 per golfer at value courses to about $740 at the marquee names, carts included. Lodging adds roughly $60 to $130 per golfer per night sharing a central hotel room.

This guide builds a value and a splurge budget line by line, then covers packages, hidden fees and where the real savings are. Every price is a dated example; rates change.

Green fees: a value and a splurge round set

Fees seen on November 1, 2026 for fall 2026 dates, morning rounds (the top of each morning range), carts included. "Course online" is the course's own tee sheet; "package operator" is the per-round rate a package seller showed; "walk-on" is Barefoot's published "starting at" rate.

A middle path, Arrowhead ($99, November 3), Long Bay ($88, October 12), Prestwick ($146 on its own sheet, November 2) and Myrtlewood Palmetto ($90, October 5), comes to $423. Afternoon times cut each set: Wachesaw East's after-2 rate was $67 that Monday and Azalea Sands' was $36.10.

Lodging: what a night costs

Few Grand Strand stays publish nightly rates, so most of these figures are guest-reported or package examples. Check rates for your dates.

• Central Hampton Inn: HotelPlanner's guest-reported averages at the Hampton Inn Broadway at the Beach were $118.56 a night in January 2026 and $262.78 in March 2026. Two golfers sharing pay about $59 to $131 each per night; four nights is about $237 to $526 per golfer.
• South Strand Hampton: the Hampton Inn Pawleys Island averaged $258.89 a night in April 2026 (guest-reported), and Expedia showed $174 including taxes and fees for one May 2026 night.
• Budget chain: listings showed the Country Inn & Suites Murrells Inlet from $76 and $108 a night (undated snapshots seen November 1, 2026); reviews are middling.
• Packages: seen November 1, 2026, third-party Barefoot listings showed $333 to $721 per person for four nights and four rounds, valid through December 31, 2026, though the resort site prices by quote. Golfbreaks showed an Embassy Suites package at Kingston Resorts, two nights and two rounds with breakfast, from $469 per person for April 23, 2027.
• Monthly: for snowbirds, the Caravelle Resort lists $675 a month for a tower studio in November and December 2026, before tax and fees.

Packages: where they save and where they do not

On a single round the gap is small. A package seller's January 2026 chart for a Saturday, May 2 tee time put King's North at $210 in a package against $214 direct, both mornings. The real savings are in multi-round and stay-and-play deals:

• Barefoot: 10% off two or more rounds, 25% off each round if you play all four courses, and the Barefoot Experience package at 25% off each of four rounds with breakfast. The Love, Fazio and Norman are on the same table as the Dye.
• Founders Group: Founders Inclusive adds lunch, two drinks and range balls; four or more Founders rounds earn a $100 gift card.
• Caledonia and True Blue: a two-course special, one round at each within seven days.
• Big Cats: $252 for three rounds or $335 for four on its Ocean Ridge courses, through November 15, 2026.

Hidden costs to budget for

• Resort fees and parking: the Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort resort fee was reported at $39.20 a night (third party; others say $25-$35), with self-parking at $20 a day and valet at $25. The Marriott at Grande Dunes charges a daily resort fee and $28 a day for valet. Kingston waives resort and parking fees on group golf bookings.
• Booking fees: GolfNow adds about $2.99 to $3.49 per round. Azalea Sands says to call the shop to skip online convenience fees.
• Taxes: Indigo Creek's rate card excludes taxes and fees, and some package sites quote before resort fees and golf taxes.
• Admin fees: Barefoot packages add 2%.
• Monthly extras: Sea Watch's snowbird rates add 12% tax, a $10 booking fee, $39.99 damage protection, $1 a day resort fee and $119 to $159 cleaning.
