Late spring and summer in Myrtle Beach means it’s time to aerate greens on area golf courses.
So most layouts will close for up to a week in order to promote healthy conditions, particularly on greens.
Aerating is the process of punching holes in the turf.
The aeration process helps relieve compaction caused by heavy traffic on grass, controls the buildup of thatch (old plant material that accumulates at the soil surface), and promotes the health of grass roots by allowing air, water and nutrients to more easily reach them.
Top-dressing with sand in the aftermath of an aeration fills the holes to help the green surface remain relatively flat and smooth as the turf repairs.
In order to find courses that are in the best condition this summer, here is the aeration closure schedule for the Grand Strand for the remainder of 2025:
