⛳️ SUNDAY GRAND STRAND GOLF REPORT | SEPT. 27 🌴☀️

Golf season on the Grand Strand is hitting that sweet spot.

Cooler mornings, sunshine, and temperatures climbing toward 80° make today the kind of day that reminds you why golfers LOVE fall at the beach. 🏌️‍♂️

🌴 NORTH END COURSE WATCH

⛳ Tidewater Golf Club | North Myrtle Beach
Marsh, waterway views and one of those courses where the scenery can distract you from your scorecard. Recent golfers are giving this one plenty of love.

⛳ Glen Dornoch | Little River
Beautiful Intracoastal Waterway setting, tight fairways and a finish that will absolutely make you earn that post-round beverage. 🍹

⛳ Sea Trail Byrd | Sunset Beach
Just over the NC line and worth keeping on the radar. Recent golfers have been reporting good fairways and greens rolling nicely.

💡 LOCAL GOLF NUGGET
Fall is prime golf-trip season here, so the tee sheet can fill up quickly, especially for morning rounds. If you’re flexible, later tee times can sometimes be the sneaky play for availability and value.

And remember… around here, buying a home sometimes means choosing your golf course almost as carefully as your floor plan. 😉

Want to know which Grand Strand communities put you close to your favorite courses, which ones are actually ON the course, and what the HOA situation looks like?

That’s my kind of house hunting. 🏡⛳️🚤

🏖️ FALL BEACH UPDATE | NORTH MYRTLE BEACH

Think beach parking is free now that summer is over? Not quite yet!

🚗 Beach-access parking is still PAID through October 31
⏰ Paid parking hours: 9 AM–5 PM daily
💵 Most city lots: $4/hour
🌴 Free off-season parking begins November 1

🌅 Here’s a good little nugget: If you’re heading down for an evening beach walk or sunset, parking payment ends at 5 PM. City lots do not allow parking from midnight–5 AM.

And here’s the good fall news… 🍂

🐶 Dogs can now enjoy the beach throughout the day! The summer 10 AM–4 PM restriction ended after Labor Day. Dogs still need to be on a leash no longer than 7 feet, and please scoop the p**p. 🐾

🚲 Bikes & e-bikes can also be ridden on the beach during the day again, since the seasonal daytime restriction has ended.

A few rules never take a vacation: no alcohol, glass, fireworks or fires on the beach, protect those dunes and sea oats, and fill in any holes before you leave. 🌊

This is one of my favorite times of year on the Grand Strand. Less crowded, cooler mornings, happy pups, sunset walks and plenty of beach time. 💙

🌾 A NEW BOARDWALK FOR NORTH MYRTLE BEACH?

Here’s one to watch in Cherry Grove 👀

North Myrtle Beach has plans for a new public boardwalk along Lake Drive and 39th Avenue North, beside House Creek and the Cherry Grove marsh. And before you picture shops, restaurants and the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, this is something completely different. 🌾🦀🎣

Plans submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers show a boardwalk approximately 1,488 feet long and 12 feet wide, designed to give residents and visitors better access to the marsh for nature viewing and fishing. City documents earlier this year showed preliminary design completed and the Corps permit issued, with funding still needing to be finalized.

Interestingly, this isn’t a brand-new idea. North Myrtle Beach planning documents have discussed extending the boardwalk around the Russell Burgess Coastal Preserve/Lake Drive area for years, noting that the extension would happen as funding allowed.

Now, The Sun News reports the city still needs about $1.8 million more to make it happen.

And THAT makes this an interesting community conversation...

🌊 Would you use a boardwalk through the Cherry Grove marsh?
🎣 Would you like more public fishing and nature-viewing access?
💰 And where should projects like this fall among the city’s other infrastructure priorities?

I’d love to hear what locals think. Yes, no, or “love the idea, but not at that price?” 👇

Confession: sometimes I use my Ring camera for something it definitely wasn’t designed for… 😂

I open it just to look at the backyard.

This was my view this morning, and I caught myself just staring at it for a minute. The pond, the pool, that Carolina sky… not a bad way to start the day.

We spend so much time thinking about our homes in terms of bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage and upgrades, but sometimes it’s the view outside the window that makes you love where you live.

So now I’m curious…

What’s the one thing about YOUR home that you find yourself stopping to appreciate?

The porch? The view? Your kitchen? A favorite tree? The neighbors? Or maybe just that one perfect chair nobody else is allowed to sit in? 😂

Mine might just be this. 💙🌿
