Myrtle Beach’s Worst Golf Courses and Lodging Properties

Regrettably, some Myrtle Beach golf courses and lodging properties come up very short in the “quality” and “service” departments, and the Myrtle Beach Golf Association Basement is where you’ll find those courses and properties exposed. The MBGA Basement culminates from local knowledge, insider advisories, golfer research, and feedback from the golfers that stay in area lodging properties and play the over 90 Myrtle Beach golf courses.

Myrtle Beach’s Worst Golf Courses

The Myrtle Beach Golf Association’s 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.

All golf course information is updated as quickly as new data becomes available to the Myrtle Beach Golf Association. The ratings and rankings, however, take longer because they are based upon the feedback of the traveling golfers. 

 

Since the Myrtle Beach Golf Association cannot totally rely on fast information from the traveling golfers, who e-mail their feedback upon returning home, they have recruited 40+ local golf industry "insiders" who work hard to keep MBGA.COM up-to-date. 

 

Needless to say, since it takes a preponderance of evidence and verification before any up or down movements in the ratings can take place, the Basement and Player’s Top 20 rankings change rather slowly. Of course they are always revisited and corrected just prior to the annual Myrtle Beach Spring and Fall Golf Seasons. 

While the Myrtle Beach Golf Association takes great pains to make sure that all golf course rankings, ratings, reviews and assessments are as current and as accurate as humanly possible, all of the ratings, rankings, reviews and assessments are strictly the opinions of the Myrtle Beach Golf Association and are by their very nature subjective and should be considered as such.

Myrtle Beach’s Worst Lodging Properties 

In the opinion of the Myrtle Beach Golf Association the following Myrtle Beach resorts, hotels, motels, condominiums and rental properties are considered to be unacceptable choices for golf vacations, golf packages and other lodging-related stays.  

While dirty facilities – especially guest rooms - and horrible guest services are the two main areas of concern, other factors that also impact the MBGA’s assessments include on-property crime, health issues, age of the property, bait and switch pricing, under-handed refund policies, questionable advertising and accounting practices, parking problems, food service issues, maintenance problems, mismanagement, or in some cases the owners or management are sleazy characters.  

While the Myrtle Beach Golf Association takes great pains to make sure that all lodging assessments are as current, and as accurate as humanly possible, all of the MBGA assessments are strictly the opinions of the Myrtle Beach Golf Association and are by their very nature subjective and should always be considered as such.
