Going anywhere on vacation nowadays may put a pinch on your wallet. Myrtle Beach, which was recently named one of the top five bargain destinations for summer 2010, also just happens to be the golf capital of the East Coast. So while looking into booking a reasonable vacation for your family this summer, why not try to score reasonably priced golf? Luckily, you don't have to look much further than the city limits. In fact, right outside the airport, Heron Point Golf Club awaits to quench your thirst without breaking the bank. Rated by Golf Magazine as the "Number 1 Bang for Your Buck in Myrtle Beach", the green fees are very reasonable, especially for a course of this skill level.

Heron Point features beautifully manicured greens, contoured fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and plenty of water. The fairways are relatively narrow challenging even the most serious of golfers. Plus, golfers often spot hawks, eagles, turkey, fox, deer, and even alligators while playing the course. With a course rating of 70.9 and a slope rating of 129, the course winds through beautiful Carolina Pine Forest and little cozy beach neighborhoods.

Uniquely, Heron Point has Bermuda grass from the tees through the greens, which require a steady hand to tame the undulation. The course is very well thought out, incorporating just the right number of hazards to make this a true shot maker's course. The narrow fairways and well-guarded greens give players of all levels a chance to test their skills without emptying their vacation savings.
