Surf Golf and Beach Club in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- The Surf Golf and Beach Club is one of those old-timey golf clubs located in a classic, beach neighborhood, near the home of the Shag, the 1950s dance that has been celebrated in the cinema.
The neighborhood is old and shady, like the course that winds its way through it. The golf club has a settled, relaxed country club feel to it, and in those areas free of tidy, middle-class homes, ducks glide noiselessly in the ponds, lakes and ancient cypress swamps.
It's a lovely setting, north of busy Myrtle Beach and several blocks off Highway 17 where the distant roar of traffic can scarcely be heard.
Surf Golf and Beach Club itself is private and the course is semi-private, open to public play before 9:30 a.m. and after 1:30 p.m.
