846.2Got a tee time?TEAOFF::TUFTSMon Jan 15 1990 18:119
    April/May begins the high season at Myrtle Beach--mid to last week of
    March can save you a bundle on a golf package. The Chamber of Commerce
    will send you a ton of material if you call them. Also Golf Digest is
    always loaded with golf packages for that area. A warning however: be
    sure you get a tee time from your hotel or condo as most tee times are
    taken up to a year in advance; it isn't easy to get them now for this
    spring.

846.3Marion Earl (Excellent)TRACTR::OSBORNEMon Jan 15 1990 18:5312
    John, my stay down there was at the Marion Earl in North Myrtle
    Beach.  They have efficiency rooms which includes stove and
    refrigerator. They were quite reasonable and they will set you up
    for any courses you want and price your package accordingly.
    This place is right on the beach also.
    You can call (803) 272-5181 ask for Scott Taylor and tell him Stu
    sent you. 
    
    I agree with -1.  You may not get anything this late for the time
    period you're looking for but good luck and good golfing.

846.4myrtle beach damageMPGS::SAURITEES AND CUPSMon Jan 15 1990 19:169
    	I got back from myrtle beach a week before xmas. We stayed at the 
    Breakers and played a couple of courses. the greens were horrible, they
    all had a lot of sand maybe fertilizer but the rest of the course was
    in good condition. i was told most os the damage was to the hotels and
    has far aa the courses it was mostly tree damage. the bar at the
    Breakers is on the bottom floor and after the hurricane it had five
    feet of sand. it was all re-done when we were there.

    Could it be possible that they were overseeding the greens with
    winter rye?  I've been down to Fla. a number of times right before
    Christmas and they reseed the greens at that time.  
846.6"MYRTLE BEACH or BUST"WJOUSM::GLASSTue Jan 16 1990 12:5416
    John,
    I was at MB just after Hugo hit and the first part of December. The
    golf courses did not suffer damage or what had happened was cleaned up.
    All were open for play with the great Nicklaus Pawley's Plantation as
    the last to be opened for play.
    
    The beaches and piers are a different story. The are actually bringing
    in sand to build up the beaches. Some say it makes for alot of noise if
    you choice to stay on the Strand because the sand moving is a 24 hour 
    operation.
    
    I would also suggest that you call John Ritchey at (800)992-9775 for
    rental package info. He manages a package called Island Green
    Holiday's.

846.7prices are cheaper in may!!USADEC::PERCUOCOTue Jan 16 1990 14:5612
    RE: .2
    
     When you get into late April, early May, the prices go down!
    I just got into a package for late May and it's cheaper at
    that time. Early April is more expensive as Spring Break week
    falls during that time and the Air fares are high and the lack
    of being able to make a reservation keep the prices up there.
     A couple of years ago, we went in February and it was cheaper.
    When you get into March /April time frame it gets more expensive.
    The weather is alot warmer in May also.
