The Golfer’s Definitive Source for the Very Best, Most Complete and Candid Information on Myrtle Beach Golf!
Myrtle Beach Golf Association
Myrtle Beach Golf Association provides the traveling golfers with the most complete information on Myrtle Beach golf anywhere. Myrtle Beach Golf Association is recognized as the traveling golfers’ definitive source for candid, insider information on each of the 100.5 Myrtle Beach golf courses, as well as the Player’s Top 20, the Myrtle Beach Basement golf courses and lodging properties, Myrtle Beach restaurant reviews, Myrtle Beach weather conditions, Myrtle Beach golf course ratings, Myrtle Beach golf course rankings, Myrtle Beach golf maps and much more than any other Myrtle Beach golf website.
MBGA.COM is the only Myrtle Beach golf website providing golfers with current and candid Myrtle Beach golf course rankings and Myrtle Beach golf course ratings, which are actually based upon feedback from the traveling golfers and Myrtle Beach golf industry insiders.
Myrtle Beach Summer Golf
All of our MBGA golf course information is updated as quickly as new data becomes available to us, and it is a rare week when we fail to make two or three updates.
However, whereas golf play is virtually nonexistent in Myrtle Beach during the summer, which results in staffing cutbacks and slack maintenance, our ratings may be slightly off during the summer.
Add to that the courses taking a beating from the heat and most courses here usually fall a bit below their normal conditions and ratings, compared to the rest of the year. So we at MBGA goof off in the summer. In fact, we rarely play golf, or do much of anything else outside, so as we said, our summer ratings might be off just a tad.
Of course, all MBGA golf course rankings are always reviewed and updated just prior to the peak spring and fall golf seasons.
Myrtle Beach Golf Industry Still Smarting!
Prior to the economic crash, the Myrtle Beach golf industry had been in a slow but steady decline since 1998, culminating today in the loss of more than one million paid rounds of golf annually; the closing of 22 golf courses and the loss of over 2,000 golf industry jobs.
2008 was one of the worst years ever with the first double-digit decline, and 2009 was even worse with a 15-25% decline, depending on the golf course or lodging property surveyed.
Needless to say, everyone expected business to rebound in the Spring of 2010 as the economy began to turn around, but alas play was dramatically down once again.

Myrtle Beach Golf’s National Golf Course Rankings Snub
Even before the Myrtle Beach area lost the annual Golf Course Writer’s Association Conference, the Myrtle Beach golf courses never received a fair shake from the snobby golf nabobs who publish annual golf course rankings. Just look at the rankings in any golf publication and one can readily see that none of the so-called raters have ever set spikes in Myrtle Beach. Hell, they can’t even keep their numbers straight when they do cut any Myrtle Beach track a bit of slack.
So always remember, Myrtle Beach is “Golftown, USA,” boasting some of America’s best golf courses, but it’s still the red-headed stepchild to the self-aggrandizing golf rating elitists.
Myrtle Beach Golf Association’s “Star” Ratings
On the Myrtle Beach Golf Association’s Golf Course Directory, and on each golf course’s descriptive page, you will find one to five “stars” representing the MBGA rating for that course, with one “star” 
representing our worst rating and five “stars” signifying our highest rating.
The MBGA rankings are based upon each course’s layout, playability, challenge, imagination, beauty, pricing, actual conditions (course, clubhouse, restrooms, cleanliness, etc.), practice facilities, pace-of-play, as well as the amount of development around the course and the quality of their, food and beverage facilities. Particular emphasis and consideration is placed upon the professionalism and friendliness of the staff at each Myrtle Beach golf course.

How about those crummy Myrtle Beach golf courses and lodging properties that you wouldn’t want your fellow golfers to get stuck playing, or staying in? Simply send those “lemons” to the Myrtle Beach Golf Association at Basement@mbga.com and they will be considered for inclusion in the dreaded MBGA Basement. Please send your Basement nominees today, along with any comments and any other feedback, which you may deem helpful.
Note: Again, while it is certainly not required, it would be very helpful if you would take a moment and rank your golf course nominees for the MBGA Basement as well, with your number “1” pick signifying the “Worst Golf Course in Myrtle Beach,” and “20” representing your “best-of-the-worst courses in town.”
