Plus, participants can enjoy delicious food and beverages throughout the event, along with exciting raffles. Isn’t that a tempting offer?
To participate, players must be at least 21 years old, and if your partner needs to change, no problem: you can replace teammates up to seven days before the qualifier. Just a heads up, teams also have the option to opt out of prizes that could impact their amateur status.
What if You Don’t Win?
For those teams finishing second or third at their regional qualifiers, the national championship entry fee is set at $500 per player. This package includes two tournament rounds, a round at The Chain 19-hole course, as well as accommodations and meals. It sounds like a win-win situation!

Course Upgrades at Tidewater Golf Club
In addition to hosting fantastic events, Tidewater Golf Club is currently undergoing extensive renovations to its bunkers. The aim is to enhance both playability and aesthetics, transforming the course experience for all players. So far, updates have been completed on seven holes, with all greenside bunkers being renovated. The course plans to remain open throughout the renovation process, ensuring that golfers can enjoy play while improvements are made.
This project fits into a broader trend of enhancing course playability for golfers of all skill levels, moving away from the previous “Tiger-proofing” methods. Golfers can look forward to a more modern experience while still enjoying the classic charm that Tidewater is known for.
In a noteworthy move, the course was recently purchased by KemperSports in August 2023 and continues to earn accolades, consistently ranking among the best public courses not just in South Carolina, but across the nation.
With thrilling competitions, exciting prizes, and beautiful course renovations, there’s never been a better time to hit the greens in North Myrtle Beach!
