Frequently Asked QuestionsWhere is Myrtle Beach? Directly on the South Carolina Atlantic coast, some thirty miles south of the North/South Carolina border, right at the heart of the 60-mile stretch of golden sands known as the "Grand Strand,". Myrtle Beach is the city with the most recognizable name, but the resort area stretches from Georgetown in the south, through Pawleys Island, Litchfield Beach, Murrells Inlet, Garden City, Surfside Beach, Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Atlantic Beach, Little River, then crosses into North Carolina and includes Calabash and the coastal areas of Brunswick County. Where is Village at the Glens? Village at the Glens is located at the northern end of the Myrtle Beach area in the small, historic fishing village of Little River, South Carolina. Village at the Glens overlooks the fairways of Heather Glen Golf Links. Our sister course, Glen Dornoch Waterway Golf Links is located directly across the road from Village at the Glens. We do have seasons - long, balmy spring and equally-pleasant fall with an average temperature of 75º (F) or 24º (C). We have short, cool winters - temperatures average 56 º (F) or 13 º (C). Our summers are hot - 89 º (F) or 31 º (C). What's the weather like RIGHT NOW? Clean, firm, level and made of fine white sand, it is one of the world's broadest, and longest uninterrupted beaches. In the summer the seawater temperature reaches the high 80's (F) or low 30's (C). A "Golf Package" is a trouble-free way to secure a golf holiday for your group. All you need to do is let us at The Myrtle Beach Ireland Connection know of your preferred dates, the number in your group (multiples of four are best; 12, 16, 20, etc.) - and we will arrange your accommodation, golf schedule, and transport for you. Does each hotel in Myrtle Beach have its own golf course? No - which is the key to the marvelous diversity of Myrtle Beach golf. Unlike other golf resort areas of the world, where play is limited to on-site courses, most of our area's accommodations facilities can schedule play for you on virtually all of the area's 100+ courses! Village at the Glens offers the best of both worlds - you can play Heather Glen, Possum Trot, Shaftesbury Glen or Glen Dornoch AND you can play the other courses. Are there any major golf tournaments? The Myrtle Beach area is the home of the world's largest on-site amateur golf tournament, with more than 5000 players - the DuPont World Amateur Handicap Championship which is played on more than 60 of the area's courses in late August! Are there any good restaurants? What sort of food do you prefer? There is an Italian Restaurant and Lounge right on premises. Among our 1,800 restaurants, you'll find everything from familiar fast-food chains and major theme venues to elegant, one-of-a-kind dining establishments; from Calabash-style seafood to Continental creations. Hot dogs to haute cuisine - whatever your taste buds crave - you'll find it all here. Finally, The Glens Golf Group can host your own Private Dinner Party right on site. You certainly can! US Airways, Delta Express, and Spirit are among the carriers serving Myrtle Beach. You can also fly into Wilmington, North Carolina. Just check with your travel agent. Are there any good places to shop? Many people visit the area - specifically for the shopping opportunities! Enclosed malls; nature-friendly centers like Barefoot Landing and Broadway at the Beach featuring dozens of delightful stores (together with restaurants and dining venues); groups of major factory outlets; one-of-a-kind boutiques and shops - everything from souvenir Ts to designer home furnishings - you'll find it all here. Good news for golfers - discount golf merchandise stores abound! What's there to do after golf and the beach? Do you enjoy theater? Clubs? Outdoor fun? All here. Broadway hits; the country's top musical artists, comedians, dance groups, Elvis (and Dolly, Marilyn - even Blues Brothers impersonators), dinner theaters; an IMAX screen, Nascar Speed Park, aquarium, kiddie parks, water slides, and scintillating clubs all add delight to your Myrtle Beach visit. |
