Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday is a non-profit trade association of 76 golf courses, 80 golf package providers and five golf schools. The organization's mission is to increase consumer awareness of the advantages of a Myrtle Beach area golf vacation and to make it as easy as possible for golfers to reserve accommodations and tee times in accordance with their preferred level of luxury or economy.

Since opening its doors in 1967, Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday has established itself as the predominant golf destination marketer in the United States and has been the driving force behind Myrtle Beach's growth as the world's most popular golf destination. Golf Holiday invented the golf package and in recent years, the organization continues to be on the cutting of golf travel marketing, assuring the continued health of the Grand Strand market.

Golf Holiday marks it 40th anniversary in 2007 and as part of the celebrations, Golf Holiday has published the inaugural Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday Magazine. The new Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday Magazine will be the ultimate source for both golfers new to the Grand Strand and longtime guests. The new Magazine provides all the information on Myrtle Beach golf courses, golf package providers and golf schools formerly found in the Myrtle Beach Golf
Holiday Planning Guide
and adds editorial
articles on golf tips, golf
etiquette, area events
and tournaments, Grand
Strand restaurants and
attractions to enjoy and
the history of the area.

The Myrtle Beach Golf
Holiday Magazine is free
by logging onto the
Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday
website,
www.GolfHoliday.com.

For those who want to
view the magazine
immediately, the online version of Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday Magazine is available on the Golf Holiday website and allows golfers to navigate by turning pages as a reader would do with a book. The Magazine features pages at full size and in thumb-nail sketches for quicker review. Golfers can utilize the zoom feature to better view the information and photographs as well as bookmark pages of interest for later reference and to email friends.

Golf Holiday published the first guide in 1967 with eight golf courses and 10 hotels featured and a
distribution list of 20,000
golfers. Forty years later,
the 2007 magazine has
grown to 134 pages
with 77 golf courses and
72 golf package
providers featured and
250,000 copies to be
mailed to golfers around
