Welcome To Beaches and Bunkers - Our Vacation Home in Myrtle Beach


Hello all!....and welcome to our blog. We'll try to keep you up to date with what's happening with us, with our condo and with what's happening in the Myrtle Beach area! We hope you'll add you comments, reviews, perspectives regarding your MB vacations or just whatever happens to be on your mind!
Don't forget to visit us anytime at http://www.beachesandbunkers.com for a tour of our home and the area around it.
We're closing in on winter up here in the Northeast, but not quite ready to put away the golf clubs! With temps hovering around the 60 degree range for the last few days and the prediction for a day or 2 more later in the week, we'll be keeping them close to the door. Hopefully we'll get lucky this winter and we'll be able to get a number of rounds in over the course of the winter. In the meantime, I'll be preparing for my next trip down to Myrtle coming up in early December. this will be just a quick golf trip down with a few friends from work. Golfing in Myrtle in the off season can be such a treat!....not to mention not being a drain on your wallet! You can book your own teetimes online and save a bundle. Here's a couple examples.....we'll be playing Aberdeen (just a mile from the condo) and beautiful 27 hole complex weaving through the homes and condos as well as deep into the woods for just $29. Aberdeen has been one of my favorites for a while now. We'll also be playing 18 at Shaftesbury Glenn CC up in Conway. This will be a first timer for me but at $35, it's very difficult to pass up. If you've played it....let us know what you think of it. I've read great reviews of it and I love that it's out in the hinterland and probably not that well known by all the 'package' golfers that tend to play more around the center of Myrtle. But here's the 'piece de resistance'! ......Carolina National is offering a "Toys for Tots' golf special during the 1st 2 weeks of December. For just $25 plus a $10 new toy, you can play 18 holes at one the the premier golf courses in the entire Myrtle area. We've played Carolina many times over our years of visting the Carolinas and it is truly one of the most pleasurable experiences we've ever had. You could leave your clubs behind and just walk the course and take in some of the most breathtaking views all along the way.
If you've never visited Myrtle in the off season, you might want to reconsider...even if you don't golf! There are some great walks on the beach when the temps are in the 50's and 60's and some occasional 70's over the course of the winter. Those migrating northern snow birds must know something!....and many of them are now learning that the Carolinas have a great deal more to offer (at a substantially lower price!) than Florida does!
