Golfers of all skill levels from all over the world are gathering in Myrtle Beach August 26th through 30th for the Annual Myrtle Beach World Amateur Handicap Championship. This event is not only the world’s largest golf tournament, but is inclusive and offers a unique experience unlike any other tournament. From scratch golfers to 30 handicap, this huge tournament features a wide range of playing skills and has around 3,200 players competing each year!
Anyone can play – and anyone can win. The World Am is open to any player with a valid USGA handicap index or international equivalent. The tournament pays out to 5 players per flight, meaning there are over 300 winners! Myrtle Beach is known as the ‘Golf Capital of the World’ and is home to over 90 golf courses – so it’s no wonder such a prestigious tournament is held right here on the Grand Strand. Players will have the opportunity to tee up at beautifully designed, yet challenging courses such as Caledonia Golf and Fish Club, Thistle Golf Club, TPC of Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach National, Oyster Bay and Love, Fazio and Norman at Barefoot Resorts.

If you plan on visiting the Grand Strand during the week of the World Am Championship, you have the opportunity to book your stay minutes away from one of the prestigious golf courses on the event list – Grande Dunes. Marina Inn at Grande Dunes, a four diamond AAA luxury resort, is located on the Intracoastal Waterway, right across the water from the par 72 course. The Grande Dunes Resort course has a dramatic design and features seven holes that are played along the waterway. Not only is Marina Inn in close proximity to the Grande Dunes course, but is centrally located to all the other golf courses that are apart of the World Am Tournament.
Due to Myrtle Beach’s mild climate and number of award-winning golf courses, it’s one of the top golf destinations year round. Marina Inn caters to all types of golf trips – from father and son duos or boys trips to the annual girls golf getaway. We offer 5 golf specific packages at our resort to maximize your time on the course while you’re on vacation.
