Myrtle Beach fall golf tournament sells out with players from 38 states

When marketing cooperative Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday created the Myrtle Beach Fall Classic in 2014 it wanted to test the waters for the viability of tournament golf in addition to its huge Myrtle Beach World Amateur Handicap Championship.

It has become evident that given the right product, golfers will travel for tournaments.

The fourth annual Myrtle Beach Fall Classic has sold out more than a month before the event tees off, as 336 golfers from 38 states, Canada and the United Kingdom are entered in the 72-hole, two-person team tournament from Nov. 12-16.

The tournament will be played on 12 Grand Strand courses.

The tournament has a different format each day, starting with best ball followed by Texas scramble, modified alternate shot and captain’s choice scramble. Golf courses being used are Barefoot Resort’s Fazio and Dye layouts, Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, True Blue Golf Club, Tiger’s Eye Golf Links, Glen Dornoch Golf Links, Parkland at Legends Resort, Oyster Bay, Pawleys Plantation, Pine Lakes Country Club, Prestwick Country Club and Thistle Golf Club. Five have been ranked among America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses.

An entry fee of $375 includes four rounds, a gift bag, welcome reception with open bar and hors d’oeurvres, awards banquet with dinner and open bar.

In addition to the Fall Classic and World Am, Golf Holiday also runs the Preseason Classic, March Championship and Calabash Cup for amateurs, as well as the Dustin Johnson World Junior Golf Championship, Palmetto High School Golf Championship and Veterans Golf Classic.
