Take into consideration that not only is Myrtle Beach a popular golfing destination, it is also a hot (literally and figuratively) summer vacation destination. So you might consider flying into Charleston or Florence SC, or Wilmington, NC. The rates are very similar, but you might have a better chance at your dates. If you decide to play golf at the south end of Myrtle Beach, Charleston is just about 1 1/2 hours drive up 17 - and usually very light traffic. If you've chosen golf courses on the north end of the beach, Wilmington is also about 1 1/2 hours drive away. The same for Florence - if you've picked courses in Myrtle Beach proper. So there are solutions to the sell-out seats for Myrtle Beach.
