No destination can match the variety and sheer quantity of golf courses quite like Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Though the number of golf courses in Myrtle Beach has dropped slightly in recent years, the area - also known as the "Grand Strand" - still boasts more than 100 courses, most of which are public. Though once a destination known for "bargain bin" golfers, today it has as many upscale, nationally ranked courses as it has cheap clunkers. Golf Digest has 10 of the region's courses in its "Top 100 You Can Play" list - and they range from the 60-mile stretch of Brunswick County in North Carolina to Pawleys Island, a Lowcountry nook that is featured on the Waccamaw Golf Trail. In the Grand Strand, you're always around the corner from the perfect golf course.

From the Dunes Club Golf and Beach Club, one of the founding clubs of Myrtle Beach golf, to modern classics like Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, King's North at Myrtle Beach National and Leopard's Chase Golf Links, here's a look at Myrtle Beach golf in pictures.
