Local golf and sports: golf courses and where to book
North Beach Resort & Villas sits between Kings Highway and the Atlantic in North Myrtle Beach and is close to several public golf courses. Book tee times directly with nearby courses (see contact pages) or use your travel agent (BookResorts) to arrange group blocks; larger condos such as 1019 Palmetto Oceanfront Four Bedroom Luxury Condo and 1102 Savannah Oceanfront Four Bedroom Luxury Condo work well for golf groups.

How to book tee times
The property dossier does not list a resort-run golf concierge or direct tee-time service. Guests should call courses directly or use online tee-time platforms to reserve starting times.
If you prefer assistance, BookResorts agents (available 24/7 at +1 (888) 605-1350) can help arrange golf packages or coordinate group reservations as an independent travel agency.
- Call the golf course directly (course websites or phone numbers are the authoritative sources).
- Use online tee-time booking websites for available slots and cancellations.
- Ask BookResorts for help arranging group blocks or shuttle logistics.
| When to book | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Individual rounds | Book as soon as dates are fixed — popular tee times fill in summer |
| Golf groups (6+ players) | Reserve weeks or months in advance and confirm cancellation/guest policies |
| Last-minute play | Check online tee-time platforms for cancellations and deals |
Rooms and condos suited for golf groups

Booking tips and group considerations
The resort enforces a minimum check-in age of 25 unless guests are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian; confirm who will be the primary contact at booking. Check-in begins after 4:00 PM and check-out is before 11:00 AM.
For golf groups, reserve larger condos early and confirm the resort’s parking policy and any security deposit or 'Worry Free Vacation' option if you prefer an alternative to the deposit hold. Book dining reservations for evenings (21 Main recommends reservations) if your group wants to dine on-site after play.
- Confirm the primary guest (age 25+ usually required to check in).
- Reserve four-bedroom condos well ahead for peak season (summer).
- Call 21 Main at (843) 315-3000 for restaurant reservations; reservations are recommended.
- Ask BookResorts (+1 (888) 605-1350) for help coordinating lodging and logistics as an independent travel agency.
