The Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce recently announced the summer Sun Fun concert series sechedule for 2009.  These FREE concerts are sponsored by the hosts of the events Celebrity Square, Hard Rock Cafe and Broadway at the Beach and are held each Friday and other select dates at 7 pm now through the end of the summer. The schedule is as follows:
 

We have had many folks in our thoughts over the past couple of days whose homes have been evacuated due to the recent brushfires that have engulfed a large portion of Conway, west of the Intracoastal Waterway.  Many have been evacuated and a number of homes have been lost.

We are offering a $39 rate with local identification for any folks who are displaced from their homes due to the fires, and will do so as long as we possibly can if longer term accommodations are needed.  Please call us direct at (843) 918-9000 for more information.

For folks who are driving into Myrtle Beach this weekend, please adjust your travel route to enter the Myrtle Beach area via Highway 501 South.  No areas east of the Intracoastal Waterway are in jeopardy (where we are located), and all roads and businesses remain open on this side of the waterway.

For those folks who are not in the area, but would like to help please Click Here to contact the American Red Cross of Horry County.

The May issue of Golf Digest has been released and Myrtle Beach has once again showed why so many call our area "The Golf Capital of the World" by having seven courses named to "America's Top 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses".  Golf Digest produces this list every two years and Myrtle Beach continually dominates the rankings.  For a comparison  of how impressive it is to have 7 courses ranked within a 42 mile span, the entire state of California has 9 courses on the list while Florida had only four courses make the list throughout the whole state.

The courses to receive this great honor are: The Heritage Club (33), The Dunes Golf and Beach Club (38), Tidewater (41), Caledonia Golf and Fish Club (66), Grande Dunes Resort Course (77), Fazio Course at Barefoot (96) and Dye Club at Barefoot (99).  Not only is Sea Watch a member to the prestigious Dunes Club, but we are also partners with all seven courses on the list and our golf director can arrange tee times for you on any of these great layouts.  Oh, and there just happen to be another 95 or so other great courses that we can arrange tee times for you.

To reserve your times, contact our golf director at brian@seawatchresort.com or by calling 888-534-9095.
