Why Use a Golf Package Company? Because You'll Save BIG MONEY!

Many people are skeptical of golf package companies. Why should they use one, when they can do it all themselves?
The answer: To save money & time.
Save Money.
If you shop around just a few minutes on the Internet, you will save money by using a reputable golf package company. I guarantee it. Why? Because golf package companies buy golf and lodging at wholesale rates. This means they can purchase a round of golf and a night of lodging at less than the market price, and sell it at less than market price. This saves you money.
Save Time.
A reputable package company knows what is going on in their market. They know which courses are in good shape, and which ones will give you a good value. They play the courses and know which courses will work for your group and which ones you should avoid. If you live out of the area, you will have to spend a lot of time to develop this information. In addition, once you develop the information, you have to know if something changes over time, such as course conditions. A reputable company will stay on top of course conditions and let you know if something changes. At the very least, they will be your advocate if something goes awry during you trip. The golf package company will have more pull with a course or lodging provider because they deal with them on a daily basis.
Here's an example.
The Big Cat Pack is our most popular Myrtle Beach golf package. It has 3 nights of lodging and 3 rounds of golf. Lodging is in a 2-bedroom golf villa, and golf includes 1 round on each of these courses: Lion's Paw, Panther's Run & Tiger's Eye. If you were coming in on October 9, 2008 and leaving on October 12, 2008, our price would be $279 per person. That price is based on 4 people sharing a 2-bedroom villa, and includes lodging, green fees, cart fees, and taxes. There are no additional charges. If you tried to set that same package up yourself you would pay $383 per person. That's a savings of 27%!!!!! You will pay $270 per person instead of $383 per person.
How do you find a reputable golf package company?
Ask questions, and check them out. See if they are members of the Better Business Bureau, or the Chamber of Commerce. Ask them for references from golf courses and lodging providers. See if they are members of local, national or international organizations.
Golf Packages of the Carolinas is an independent golf package company. That means we are not owned by a hotel, resort, or golf course. We are members of the Better Business Bureau of Coastal Carolina, the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, the Brunswick County Chamber of Commerce, and the International Association of Golf Course Operators (IAGTO). We will give you an objective opinion of golf courses and lodging choices. We specialize in Myrtle Beach golf packages, and also provide packages for Hilton Head, Charleston (SC), Florida, Spain, Ireland, Scotland, and other international destinations. Our membership in IAGTO also allows us to refer clients to reputable golf package companies in markets that we don't service.
