Golf Question of the Week: Wanna Play During Your Easter Family Break?

It’s pretty easy, actually. For starters, Prime Times Signature Courses offer tremendous “Red Line Rates” that will save you anywhere from $20 to $33 per round on tee times before 8 a.m. and after 1:30 p.m. They’re good for eight in-demand courses along the Grand Strand: Long Bay Club and Aberdeen Country Club to the north; Waterway Hills, Southcreek at Myrtle Beach National and the West Course at Myrtle Beach National in the central; and River Club, Litchfield Country Club and Willbrook Plantation in the South Strand.

The deals get even better when you include the kids – they get to play for free (one junior per paying adult). And the eight aforementioned courses are among 40 along the Grand Strand currently offering “Kids Play Free” rates throughout the year.

Looking for things to do before and after your round(s)? Check out these happenings:

• Family Kingdom Amusement Park opens its gates for the 2008 season this Friday, March 21. Family Kingdom gives your clan the option of all-day, unlimited ride wristbands ($22.75, plus tax) or individual ride tickets ($1.05 per ticket, plus tax; 2-5 tickets per ride). With seasonal, sunny weather on tap for the next several days, there’s no better time to enjoy “Myrtle Beach’s Only Seaside Amusement Park.”
• Sure, the kids are off from school, but you can still take advantage of great cultural learning opportunities like the one currently offered at Brookgreen Gardens. Cross-Continental Cultural Connections is a new educational display that explores the themes of customs, heritage, slavery and spirituality of the South Carolina Lowcountry and the Gullah/Geechee culture. It showcases baskets, fabrics, musical instruments and artifacts from Sierra Leone, Ghana and Nigeria as well as historical photographs from nearby Sandy Island. The display is free with a paid Gardens admission, and runs through Sunday, March 30.
