Airing on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m., Road Trip: Myrtle Beach is the first reality show to be based in South Carolina and Myrtle Beach is the first American golf destination to play host.

“We are very excited that The Golf Channel chose to kick off their reality series on the south end of the Grand Strand,” said Jann Walker, director of marketing at Pawleys Plantation. “By showcasing top-notch golf courses on the Waccamaw Neck, The Golf Channel gives viewers a look at a different kind of Grand Strand golf experience. We’re part of everything that Myrtle Beach has to offer, yet we’re in a quieter part of the area where the focus is on great golf and the beauty of the Lowcountry. The show explores the unique south end restaurants and nightlife. Viewers will definitely learn why Myrtle Beach has been nicknamed the ‘Golf Capital of the World.’ And, after seeing our golf course and accommodations, they’ll get a better understanding of why Travel & Leisure Golf magazine named Pawleys Plantation one of the best places to stay in Myrtle Beach.”
