| Myrtle Beach Golf Season Thrives With Condo Rentals and Entertainment |
With golf being one of its biggest attractions, vacationers are enjoying an endless supply of new and renovated condominiums and resorts that offer Myrtle Beach golf packages. Condolux Vacations of North Myrtle Beach takes the season in stride, with the best choice of vacation condo rentals ever offered along the Strand.
Myrtle Beach, SC (PRWEB) November 17, 2007 -- In spite of cooler weather, Myrtle Beach, and for golfers, North Myrtle Beach, continues to draw thousands of vacationers daily. The two towns are definitely taking strides to encourage and accommodate the more discriminating tourism market that has developed from the recent condo boom. The higher priced restaurants are popping up everywhere, and the days of "all-you-can-eat", all-fried, seafood and cheap country buffets are finding their biggest competitors are the smaller portion gourmet restaurants such as Bonefish Grill and Carrabbas.
Likewise, the resorts are first class, offering fine amenities that rival anything Miami or Tampa, Florida might present. North Myrtle Beach has some of the most luxurious accommodations in the area, from the grand new Prince Resort in Cherry Grove to its traditional upscale condominiums such as Bay Watch Resort, The Ashworth, Avista Resort, and even the new Barefoot Resort ... which is built around its legendary Greg Norman golf courses. Intracoastal Waterway resorts such as Barefoot are in the horizon to become as popular as oceanfront condos as well.

Bayview Resort in Myrtle Beach -- one of the most popular new oceanfront resorts for 2007. Bayview's central location at 5th Ave and Ocean Boulevard make it convenient to all of Myrtle Beach's restaurants and shopping ... from Broadway at the Beach to the Carolina Opry.
The Caribbean Resort in Myrtle Beach -- Already one of the biggest and best in Myrtle, the Caribbean has undergone an eight million dollar renovation, and has to be one of the finest resorts around, with unmatched water amenities and its next-door location to the Sea Captain's House, historically one of the absolute favorite seafood restaurants in the entire Grand Strand.

| Golf Course Condo News |
Myrtle Beach is losing several of its golf courses to condo and home developments. At least the plans were to do it last year. I heard that Centex has stalled on the development of Rivergrand in the old Bay Tree Golf course in Little River, and may even have it up for sale. Then I heard CENTEX was bought out! Both are unsubstantiated rumors, but from good sources.
Island Green Golf Course in Surfside was upgraded and placed some condos instead of part of their greens last year. I haven't heard if they are selling well or not. Our market is very sluggish right now, although it's a very good time for buyers to get some very good deals such as Leasebacks and lowered prices. Many of last year's planned condo projects have been cancelled, and some of the preconstruction condos have investors scrambling to sell at much better prices than the original ones. I think land and single family home sales are still doing pretty good. One in particular, Bay View Resort, has a couple of condos available from investors at prices from 2 years ago. This is a deal, too. Oceanfront, luxury, pools and all the amenities.
Actually, even the Myrtle Beach condos resales are still selling, since owners are not trying to get such high prices. We've always been half of what you'd pay for Florida or most of the other Atlantic coastal areas. And now if you're looking to buy a condo in Myrtle Beach or the Grand Strand, you'll get an even better deal.
Below is the latest press about the golf course condos at East Port. I'm sure there will be plenty more plans that stall out...

Ruling stops developer from turning golf course into condos The Associated Press
A ruling by a bankruptcy court judge has stopped a developer from turning at least part of a North Myrtle Beach golf course into condominiums.
Eastport Golf Club homeowners have been fighting the redevelopment for close to two years. Their lawyer said the ruling sets a precedent along the Grand Strand and should be a lesson to homeowners to check covenants and restrictions when faced with possible redevelopment.
"It's an important decision as far as I'm concerned. The only other community that attempted to stop (redevelopment of a golf course) is Deertrack. All other golf courses have just closed in our area," attorney Patrick O'Dea said.
Judge John E. Waites said residential redevelopment is not allowed by the homeowners' deed restrictions, which say the property is for "golf course use only."
The golf course is owned by Eastport Golf Club, Inc., which is owned by Charlotte, N.C., businessman Mel Graham. He is disappointed with the ruling.
"I am however, happy for the homeowners at Eastport if indeed this is the outcome the majority of the residents really wanted. I must add that I do not believe that the leadership at Eastport understands the negative impact this will ultimately have on their community," Graham said.
Graham original plan in late 2005 was to turn the golf course into 1,100 condos. He could do so because the course was losing money. The earlier this year, Graham filed the course in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and submitted a reorganization plan that would keep a smaller golf course but redevelop part of the property into 920 condos.
Now that he can't redevelop, Graham said he will attempt to sell the course. "Unfortunately, we do not know of any potential buyers at this time," he said.
An oversupply of golf courses has contributed to the closing of 16 other Strand courses for planned redevelopment since January 2005. Three courses at Bay Tree Plantation have closed within a few miles of Eastport, and at least two others intend to close nearby.
"There really isn't a market for selling these courses," said Rick Mendoza, attorney for Eastport Golf Club Inc. "It's going to remain closed."
Residents of the golf club are glad the condos won't be built and are waiting to see what happens next, Eastport Community Association president Don Metzger said.
"We're very encouraged that our community will be able to remain intact and continue as it now exists," Metzger said. "We hope that things can get back to normal."
