A Hole to Behold

No. 17 at Glen Dornoch: Impossible to find a hole more scenic than this

The finishing three holes at Glen Dornoch Waterway Golf Links are among Myrtle Beach’s toughest, offering stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway – but with it, wind, wetlands and water, requiring players to be at their very best. The middle of this iconic stretch, No. 17 is considered by many to be the most scenic par 3 in the area. But don’t admire the view too long! The hole is no slouch and has punished more than its fair share of scorecards. Here’s what you’ll see, and need to do, when you play No.17 during your MBGolf.com vacation.

From the tees, the Intracoastal Waterway lies gracefully in the background behind No. 17’s hourglass-shaped green. But that’s not even close to it all. What makes this hole so disastrously captivating, so wonderfully terrifying, is that it’s long (measuring 212 yards from the black tees and 164 from the white) and the green is entirely protected in the front and left by coastal marsh. You might think, “I’ll just bail out right and long then.” But you can’t do that, either, because course designer Clyde Johnston protected the right side of the green with several strategic pot bunkers, a large greenside bunker dug out with railroad ties, and a dense forest of Carolina pines. What does that all add up to? A shot that you can’t mishit without the chance of throwing up a big number on the card.

With no place to bail out, the only option is to choose your club wisely, commit to the shot and hit before the beautiful madness gets in your head. Often, the pin placement will tease players to hit shots close to the water. Our suggestion? Don’t succumb to the pressure. A strong middle iron to the center of the green will do just fine, all while still giving you a chance to make a two and move on to No. 18.

You’ll step on to the tee box and feel it: The beauty and difficulty of this remarkable par 3.

Glen Dornoch is located in Little River and has been listed among the “Top 20 Golf Courses in South Carolina” by Golf Magazine and one of Golf Digest’s featured “Places to Play.”

A Taste of Italy on the Carolina Coast

TripAdvisor’s Top 5 Italian restaurants for your post-round meal

Myrtle Beach provides no shortage of great golf courses to choose from, and no shortage of great Italian eats also. Be sure to consider these Top 5 Italian restaurants, according to TripAdvisor, on your next visit to the Grand Strand. They are all located within close proximity to several MBGolf.com courses and Condo-World facilities, making them the perfect spots to grab a post-round bite.

Villa Romana Italian Restaurant takes the No. 1 spot for Italian restaurants in Myrtle Beach. The old-school ambiance and setting feature white tablecloths and an accordion player most evenings. Don’t be fooled by its charm – it’s great for families and groups of all sizes.

Reviewer A4262WDsusanl said, “we will probably return to Myrtle Beach just to enjoy this locally owned business that cares about their staff and guests! Very impressive when so many restaurants have lost that edge.”

Ciao Restaurant is the No. 2-ranked Italian eatery in Myrtle Beach. With an impressive menu featuring Italian favorites like veal marsala, chicken piccata, and spaghetti calamari marinara, there is something everyone will enjoy at Ciao. The elegant restaurant is perfect for a special night out.

Said reviewer patrickcK1104HI, “We had dinner on Saturday at Ciao. There were eight of us. As usual, service was excellent … and the food was as good as ever. Crab stuffed mushrooms were over the top!”

Sole Italian Restaurant has been a staple in the Myrtle Beach area for years and a consistently great Italian food experience hence its No. 3 spot on this list. The family-owned restaurant serves dishes like Linguini Carbonara, Lasagna Tradizionale, Calamari over linguini, and your favorite, chicken, veal, beef, and fish selections.

MaggieNewBoston stated that “this place is definitely a hidden gem. Do not turn back because it is in a strip mall type location. It is cozy inside with ‘Frank’ music playing. The food is to die for. Try at least one of the daily specials even if it is just an appetizer. The service is impeccable and the food is straight from a New Jersey Italian family. Visit early on in your trip because you will definitely want to return!”

At No. 4, Toscana Italian Kitchen has remained a steady Top 5 contender for years now. Open daily at 4 p.m., their menu is decadent, with dishes like lobster ravioli and crab-stuffed chicken.

Said reviewer Msciccone1, “The bread and red pepper oil mixture was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The seafood dish my parents ordered was beyond their expectation. We left the restaurant raving! Highly recommend.”

Rounding off the list at No. 5 is Little Italy located at 30th Avenue at Kings Highway in Myrtle Beach. This hidden gem packs a mighty punch of flavors with menu items like Arancini, Saucy Shrimp, Clams and Mussels sauteed with spinach, mushrooms, asparagus, and fresh tomato, along with pastas, traditional dishes, and even pizzas.

RONBO9503 says “What a hidden gem! We absolutely highly recommend this restaurant. We will be coming again next time at Myrtle Beach.”

Get golfing and get eating this fall with MBGolf.com and Condo-World.

Our Top 5 Myrtle Beach Seafood Restaurants

Aside from golf, at top of the priority list for most our groups is where to find the best seafood in Myrtle Beach.

With fresh locally caught fish going straight from the boat to your plate, finding a place that serves outstanding seafood is relatively easy, ranking the best the area has to offer is far more difficult.

But, we are here for you. Here is a look at the places we recommend golfers enjoy an outstanding seafood dinner with two caveats: this list only takes into account restaurants in Myrtle and North Myrtle AND it has to be a seafood-centric restaurant (so places like Aspen Grille, which is outstanding, are not included).

Without further ado, here are our top 5 seafood restaurants:

5. Located across from Barefoot Resort in North Myrtle Beach, Rockefellers Raw Bar is an area institution. A nondescript building can’t obscure the food, particularly the shellfish. Oysters, clams, shrimp, scallops and mussels are the specialties at a restaurant us locals (and TripAdvisor readers) swear by.

4. Hook & Barrel specializes on fresh, locally sourced ingredients and sustainable seafood. Pull up a seat at their steam galley and watch as your food is carefully crafted right in front of you. Splurge on their select seafood tower or the Oysters a la Heidi topped with bacon, spinach, onions, mascarpone, sambuca, and a cream sauce with tarragon hollandaise. The seafood restaurant is also famed for its Pan-Seared Scallops, Smoked Shrimp and Grits, and Pan-Seared Whole Fish.

3. Admittedly, it’s not fresh, but no list of Myrtle Beach’s best seafood restaurants is complete without a buffet, and The Original Benjamins, which claims to have introduced Calabash-style seafood to the area, is the best. The buffet features more than 170 items, including crab legs, so if it’s quantity you desire, this is your spot.

2. Sea Captain’s House is Myrtle Beach’s oldest and most popular seafood restaurant. The food is outstanding and the view overlooking the Atlantic Ocean is at least as good. The combination of food (the jambalaya comes highly recommended) and ambiance is hard to beat. There’s a view of the sea from any seat inside or out and it’s great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The former guest house has been serving seafood specialties for more than 60 years in Myrtle Beach.

1. Forget being the best North Myrtle Beach has to offer, SeaBlue has set its sights much higher, saying, “We aspire to be among the best restaurants in the country, using locally sourced ingredients and displaying five-star service to all our guests.” According to 798 TripAdvisor reviews, Sea Blue has already conquered the local market and one look at the menu and you will see why the rest of America is next. The menu consistently changes to reflect fresh, seasonal ingredients and is the perfect setting for date night or a special occasion.

Things To Do Off the Course: Breweries in Myrtle Beach

When planning your Myrtle Beach Golf Trip, much of the time is spent figuring out what courses to play and where to stay. MBgolf.com has you covered on both fronts, with the best tee time prices and accommodation offerings in all of Myrtle Beach! However, there is so much more to experience off the course to round out the perfect visit to Myrtle Beach. As local experts in the area, MB Golf knows the hot spots and hidden gems all golfers need to know about when preparing their Myrtle Beach golf package itinerary!

After a long day on the course, nothing beats kicking back and reflecting on the round with your buddies while enjoying great food, drinks, and company. If you aren’t quite ready to head back to the comfort of your luxury condo, MB Golf highly suggests making a pit stop at one of the several breweries that have popped up in the area! Craft brews, tasty bites, and a relaxing atmosphere draw crowds from near and far to visit Myrtle Beach area breweries, and there are some great ones to consider up and down the beach!

On the South Strand: Voodoo Brewing Co.

Located just off of Business 17 in Murrells Inlet, Voodoo Brewing Co. is a hip and happening spot for your golf group to visit when staying or playing on the south end of Myrtle Beach. With flagship and seasonal craft brews, handmade cocktails, and awesome pub fare grub, you are assured to have your thirst quenched and hunger satisfied after a round on the links! Voodoo Brewing Co. has a hip atmosphere with very open seating, perfect for large groups. Live music acts often play at Voodoo, so prepare for some great tunes! It’s a vibe on the south strand with Voodoo Brewing Co! Golfers staying in Litchfield Resort should consider stopping by Voodoo Brewing Co!

In Central Myrtle Beach: Grand Strand Brewing Company

The anchor of downtown Myrtle Beach’s Art’s & Innovation District is Grand Strand Brewing Company. The renovated brick building oozes chic history with a laid back atmosphere, and those characteristics trickle down to the friendly, welcoming staff! With nearly 20 beers in rotation year-round, there is surely something to meet your brewing preferences. Grand Strand Brewing Company also features great seasonal local brews, including the Conway Coffee Ale and Salty Golfer’s Sandy Cheeks IPA!

Grand Strand Brewing Company is ultra convenient for golfers staying at the Paradise Resort, Bay View Resort, or the other resorts near the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and is a must-visit during your next Myrtle Beach Golf Trip!

North Myrtle Beach: Crooked Hammock Brewery

A MB Golf favorite! Crooked Hammock is located in Barefoot Landing, and has quickly become a top destination for brews, food, and fun for locals and visitors alike! Owner Rich Garrahan stepped out of the corporate world to open Crooked Hammock in 2015 and has become obsessed with the world of hops and fun. The North Myrtle Beach location opened its doors in 2021 and has been described as a “beer utopia,” and we couldn’t agree more. With a 30-barrel brewing system, there are too many flagship and seasonal brews to name, so come by and grab a pint or tour of the brewing systems and have a tasting! An abundance of scrumptious, home-style grub accompanies the beer wonderfully. The vision of a backyard escape is apparent throughout, with reclaimed wood, old cars, and mismatch furniture throughout the eclectic interior. The outdoor venue is where Crooked Hammock Brewery shines the most, with the most expansive offering of seating, games, and sites amongst any restaurant in North Myrtle Beach, including a massive waterfront gazebo! Crooked Hammock Brewery is a perfect place to hang for golfers playing the Barefoot Package or staying in the Windy Hill Beach section of North Myrtle Beach!
