Barefoot’s state-of-the-art range will get your adrenaline pumping before you take to the   green, and after finishing a round at one of the championship courses, enjoy a 19th-hole  cocktail at either the Resort or Dye Clubhouse. The Dye Clubhouse is magnificently  appointed, featuring fantastic views of holes 9, 10 and 18, and is the perfect location  to relax and enjoy fine dining after an invigorating day of golf. The Resort Clubhouse,  a 35,000-square-foot masterpiece, boasts architectural elements of the Lowcountry  of South Carolina, including a large covered porch and rocking chairs that overlook Tom Fazio’s No. 18. The nearby pro shop offers year-round, name-brand apparel, as well as  golf clubs, logo hats, giftware and golf balls.

Beyond the championship golf, the resort is beautifully framed by the Intracoastal Waterway.   This historical canal dates back to 1919 and provides a wonderful backdrop for Barefoot Landing. Anchored by many exciting entertainment options, such as The House of Blues, Barefoot  Landing is a Myrtle Beach landmark. Packed full of great restaurants and dining, this complex  can keep golfers and their families entertained for days. And just across Highway 17 lies the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. This peaceful stretch of beach is the perfect respite after a day traversing the challenging courses at Barefoot Resort and Golf.

Myrtle Beach is  blessed to have over ninety area golf courses located within forty minutes of their front door.

For families, who visit during the Summer, the impossible challenge is to attempt to keep dad from spending at least one day on the links. Father and son golf is so popular during the Summer that many golf courses are at capacity early morning and late afternoon.

As this is the high traffic season for most Myrtle Beach hotels the reservations and front desk teams are pushed to help golfers find tee times that perfectly suit their game. Also, the details of the Summer season place demands on hotel staff that often can compete with their need to stay on top of different golf course conditions.

“Myrtle Beach golf customers depend on area vacation experts, like Coastal Golf Away more and more during the Summer peak months,” said Dan Wenzel, Marketing Director of Myrtle-Beach.com, a local advertising firm. “Vacation companies are always on top of what is going on in the golf course industry. Companies, like Coastal Golfaway, are staffed with professional golf pros and they not only know conditions, but can match up golfers with ideally suited courses.” Wenzel added.

What’s more, because of their volume tee time purchases, golf vacation companies can usually save golfers valuable dollars as opposed to booking through the hotel or the golf course directly.

Myrtle Beach Hotels saw numbers dip across the board for golf related business in the first quarter of 2008. The months of January, February, and March revealed a significant change in the way the golf business in Myrtle Beach, SC has evolved.

While overall numbers were down, Myrtle Beach Hotels that were leveraged on the internet and targeted for key golf terms, like Myrtle Beach Golf, on the search engines actually saw increases in rounds. At this same time, independent Myrtle Beach Hotels who have not leveraged their website properties, experienced round decreases that neared the point of little or no business.

“We literally are entering the period in Myrtle Beach where we will come to see the haves and the have nots.” said Dan Wenzel, Marketing Director for Myrtle-Beach.com, a local advertising firm. “This is consistent with what is happening all across America,” Wenzel added. “Myrtle Beach Hotels that have planned and that respond to changing markets are growing, while those that do not focus on systematic change are finding themselves without a customer base. The internet has truly changed the world and we are witnessing it first hand.”

Numbers show that companies like the Myrtle Beach National company and Burroughs and Chapin continue to grow in rounds played at their golf courses and room night increases in their Myrtle Beach Hotels and condos, while independent hotels are disappearing from the Myrtle Beach golf market.

While we are not sure if this is because of a lack of interest or a lack of focus, independent Myrtle Beach Hotels will need to investigate whether weekend tourists and weekly Summer business can keep their hotel model in the black. In the 1980′s and 1990′s, many Myrtle Beach Hotels wisely merged with, partnered with, or simply bought out local golf courses. These same hotels in Myrtle Beach then began agressively marketing specials that independents simply could not offer.

As John Wooten, the famous UCLA coach always said, “Those who fail to plan can plan to fail.” It appears that this holds true with Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Hotels and the Myrtle Beach golf vacation business.

The days of economies of scale are not coming, the numbers indicate that they are here for all Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels and that the jury is in on who won and who lost.

With the closing of the north end golf course in Myrtle Beach, Bay Tree Plantation in 2006, many area golf professionals and other workers found themselves displaced. As many looked for work in with Myrtle Beach Hotels and other area golf courses.

Tracy Conner, General Manager of Bay Tree, was noble enough to stay with the Myrtle Beach Hotel related golf course until the business closed its doors.

Not only did Tracy stay on the job until the last day, but he also found every employee in the company another job with other Myrtle Beach hotels or area golf courses.

Tracy is now the general manager of the Bellamy Law firm. The Bellamy Law firm was one of the owners of Bay Tree Golf course who made millions in the sale of the golf course operation. While Tracy does not have a law degree, his willingness to be loyal to his owners are now paying dividends for the local citizen. He oversees accounts receivables, payables, and the day to day cash flow functions of the firm.

Myrtle Beach Hotels and Condos now reports that development on the land that once was Bay Tree Golf Plantation is moving at a grind.

With the slowing down of the real estate market in 2007, development plans for the area golf course have been put on hold. Myrtle Beach Hotels and Condos will keep you alert as to the development of the former Bay Tree Golf Plantation.
