Litchfield Country Club

Opened for play in 1966, Litchfield was one of the original eight courses built on the Grand Strand. Though many courses might have tweaked their design over that period of time, the course has maintained its original features, including player-friendly greenside pathways for bump-and-run approach shots.Litchfield has consistently been cited as one of the top attractions in Myrtle Beach. Ranked by Conde Nast as one of the "world's 50 best" and cited for having one of the "100 greatest holes along the Grand Strand" by The Sun News, Litchfield is among the elite in Myrtle Beach.With a country club-like atmosphere and first-class accommodations, Litchfield is a sure bet for those golfers who enjoy the finer things in life.Golf was first played at the Litchfield Country Club on a six-hole course in 1896, though the club had been organized four years earlier for bowling, croquet and tennis. Golf became controversial within the club almost immediately when the golfing members wanted to expand the course while the majority of the members, who were more interested in tennis and social functions, refused to spend the money.
