A Myrtle Beach golf trip should not end when the final putt drops. The best trips are built around what happens after the round, from waterfront dinners and happy hour stops to casual nightlife, one more competitive activity, or the kind of low-key evening that keeps the group fresh for tomorrow’s tee time.

Best Places to Eat After the Round Start Here

After a long day on the course, most golf groups want one of three things: a quick casual meal, a scenic waterfront dinner, or a steakhouse that feels like a reward. Myrtle Beach has all three, and the best choice usually comes down to your group’s energy level and where you played that day.

2

Bubba’s Fish Shack Quick & Casual

The move when everyone is starving and nobody wants to wait around.

Bubba’s is the no-fuss option. Fried seafood, burgers, beach-town energy, and a pace that fits groups who want food fast and don’t need dinner to become an event.

3

Drunken Jack’s Classic Waterfront

A Murrells Inlet staple with seafood, drinks, and a classic inlet night feel.

Drunken Jack’s is one of the most dependable choices for golf groups heading toward Murrells Inlet. It is casual enough to feel easy and scenic enough to feel like part of the trip, not just dinner.

Visit Drunken Jack’s

4

Blue Drum Waterfront Best All-Around

Waterfront atmosphere with a slightly more elevated dinner feel.

Blue Drum is a strong north-end dinner move when the group wants something better than casual without going overly formal. It balances food quality, waterway views, and a comfortable night-out feel.

6

Thoroughbreds Celebration Dinner

The nicest steakhouse play on this list and a perfect final-night meal.

If the group wants a real “we played well today” dinner, Thoroughbreds is the move. It is upscale enough to feel special but still works naturally within a golf trip night out.

7

Uptown Bistro Smaller Group Pick

A quieter, more polished option when the whole group does not want the big-scene dinner.

Uptown Bistro is the better move when you want something calmer and a little more intimate. It works especially well for smaller golf groups or the night where everyone is ready for a better meal without a loud room.

How to Use This

Wahoo’s and Drunken Jack’s are your Murrells Inlet / MarshWalk plays, Bubba’s is your fast casual fallback, Angus and Thoroughbreds cover the steakhouse spectrum, Blue Drum is the strongest all-around waterfront dinner, and Uptown Bistro is the quieter polished option.

Best Bars and Happy Hour Spots for Golf Groups Keep It Going

Once dinner wraps up, Myrtle Beach gives you a few dependable nightlife zones depending on where your group is staying and how much energy is left in the tank.

A

Murrells Inlet MarshWalk Best South-End Scene

Waterfront bars, live music, and the easiest bar-hopping setup in the area.

If your group played south-end courses and wants the classic Myrtle Beach after-hours feel, the MarshWalk is the best answer. Dinner can turn into drinks, drinks can turn into live music, and nobody has to organize much.

B

Broadway at the Beach Best Central Option

The easiest place to keep a group together after the round.

For central Myrtle Beach trips, Broadway is the low-friction move. Bars, restaurants, live entertainment, and easy walking all sit in one zone, which makes it perfect for larger groups that do not want to split up.

C

Main Street, North Myrtle Beach Best Beach-Bar Feel

Laid-back nightlife, live music, and more of an old-school beach vibe.

Main Street is a better fit when your group wants drinks and music without the bigger central Myrtle Beach scene. It is more relaxed, more beach-town, and works especially well for north-end itineraries.

Best Casual Things to Do in Myrtle Beach at Night Easy Wins

Not every night needs to become a major production. Sometimes the best move is simply keeping the trip easy, social, and low-stress.

2

Walk the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk Simple & Scenic

A good reset after dinner, especially when the weather is right.

If your group wants something easy and outdoors, the Boardwalk is a clean option. It works particularly well on nights when everyone wants to be out but nobody needs another loud room.

3

Catch Live Music No Planning Needed

One of the simplest ways to stretch the evening without overdoing it.

Whether it is the MarshWalk, Broadway, or Main Street, live music is one of the best casual night options in Myrtle Beach because it gives the group a destination without forcing the entire night into one shape.

Best Competitive Group Activities After Golf One More Contest

Some groups are simply not done competing after 18 holes. If your crew always needs one more score to settle, Myrtle Beach has the right kind of after-hours fuel.

2

Broadway Grand Prix Best Non-Golf Contest

Go-karts, arcade energy, and an easy way to let the competition spill into the night.

If the group wants to change gears but not lose the competitive edge, Broadway Grand Prix is a fun pivot. It works especially well for the night when everyone still has energy but does not need another bar right away.

Visit Broadway Grand Prix

The best golf trips usually include one more competition after the round, even if the clubs never leave the room.

Best Laid-Back Options if Your Group Is Cooked After 36 Holes Know When to Coast

After 36 holes, not every group wants nightlife. Some of the best Myrtle Beach trip nights are the low-key ones that keep everyone fresh for the next day’s tee time.

1

Waterfront Dinner and Done Best Reset

Dinner with a view, a couple drinks, and no pressure to stretch the night.

Blue Drum, Wahoo’s, or Drunken Jack’s can all carry an entire evening by themselves if the group is running low on energy. Sometimes the smartest golf-trip move is a good meal and an early finish.

3

Beach or Boardwalk Walk Simple Finish

Fresh air, easy conversation, and zero planning.

On the right night, a simple walk by the water is exactly enough. It gives the group one last shared moment without turning the evening into another event.

How to Plan the Perfect Myrtle Beach Golf Day from Tee Time to Dinner Trip Flow

The best Myrtle Beach golf days feel smooth from start to finish. That usually means matching where you play with where you eat and where you go after.

C

Central Myrtle Beach Day Easiest Group Plan

Golf, shower, dinner, then Broadway without extra logistics.

Central golf days are easiest to build because Broadway at the Beach gives you a dinner and nightlife cluster in one place. It is the best option when your group values convenience more than squeezing every last scenic angle out of the night.

N

North-End Day Best Mix of Golf + Food

Barefoot-area golf, strong waterfront dinner, then Main Street if needed.

North-end trips work best when you keep the full day clustered up there. Play near Barefoot or the Little River side, grab dinner at Blue Drum or a steakhouse, and finish with North Myrtle nightlife only if the group still wants one more stop.

The Bottom Line

The best Myrtle Beach golf trips do not stop at the 18th green. They roll naturally into the right dinner, the right drinks, and the right kind of night for your group, whether that means waterfront bar-hopping, one more competitive activity, or simply knowing when to shut it down and save the energy for tomorrow’s tee time.
