Major Renovations Underway at Myrtle Beach Hotels and Beach Access

Myrtle Beach is buzzing with activity as significant renovations are set to transform beach access points and hotels across the area. The City of Myrtle Beach has announced the temporary closure of a beach access point at the *dune walkover off 65th Avenue North*. This construction work is designed to enhance the seaside experience for locals and tourists alike, with the walkover expected to reopen in roughly four weeks.

Whispering Pines Golf Club to Undergo Major Overhaul

In addition to beach access improvements, the Whispering Pines Golf Club is also in line for renovations. The golf club will close for renovations after play on May 23 and is scheduled to reopen on September 1. The renovation plan includes an extensive re-grassing of the tees, greens, and fairways, ensuring that the course remains competitive and appealing to golf enthusiasts.

The new greens will feature the *Sunday ultradwarf Bermudagrass*, a popular choice for its resilience and lush appearance. To complement this upgrade, *Bimini Bermuda* grass will be introduced for the tees and fairways. This new strand is being cultivated at a *turf farm in Camden* and is recognized for its *drought tolerance* and *durability*, ideal traits for maintaining a pristine golf course.

The management company, Atlantic Golf Management, is confident in the choice of Bimini Bermuda, having successfully implemented this grass type at another course it oversees in Florida.

Hotel Renovations: A $58 Million Investment

Meanwhile, three hotels in Myrtle Beach are undergoing a combined *$58 million renovation* project, spearheaded by Brittain Resorts & Hotels in collaboration with EOS Hospitality. The impacted hotels include the Caribbean Resort & Villas, Ocean Reef Resort, and Compass Cove Resort. These renovations began in October 2024 and are slated for completion by April 2025, with efforts being made to keep all three resorts operational during the work.

Caribbean Resort & Villas is undergoing a *$20 million renovation*, emphasizing upgrades to rooms within its Dominican and Cayman buildings, as well as improvements to the lobby and the introduction of a new grab-and-go market.
Ocean Reef Resort is also investing *$15 million*, focusing on modernizing all rooms and lobby areas to enhance guest comfort and satisfaction.
Compass Cove Resort will witness the largest financial commitment of *$23 million*, which includes comprehensive renovations across all its buildings. The renovations will upgrade not only the lobby but also shared spaces that are vital to guest experience.

As Myrtle Beach continues to evolve as a premier tourist destination, the renovations are seen as necessary to meet heightened expectations from visitors. A strong emphasis is being placed on enhancing guest experiences at these resorts, ensuring that they retain a competitive edge. With more people expected to flock to the Grand Strand over the coming decades, it’s critical for the hospitality sector to adapt and innovate.

These renovations reflect a broader trend in Myrtle Beach as the city looks to *strengthen its appeal* and solidify its reputation as a top destination for both vacationers and long-term residents. As the renovation efforts unfold, excitement builds for what these improvements will bring to the local tourism economy.
