Title: Street Food and Golf: A Hole-In-One Culinary Experience Near Tidewater Golf Club
Ladies and gentlemen, golfers of all handicaps, welcome to the clubs and cuisine of North Myrtle Beach. Undeniably, the Grand Strand is famous for its prime golfing tourism, offering some of the finest golf courses that teleport enthusiasts into a golfer’s paradise. Always playing the perfect host is the well-renowned Tidewater Golf Club, sitting majestically atop a peninsula overlooking the picturesque Atlantic.
But the appeal of this golfers’ hub extends beyond the manicured greens. I invite you to join me on a delectable journey, exploring the fusion of street food and golf that has lovingly embraced our golfing hotspot.
Tidewater Golf Club stands tall in Little River, a charming fishing village known for its shrimping and crabbing industry and an emerging, vibrant food scene. The touch of salinity in the air adds an appetizing charm, urging one to explore the authentic food trucks and stands lining the streets after a riveting round of golf.
First on our foodie journey is ‘Crabby Patty’s Hamburger Hut’, where you can relish indulgent, deliciously handcrafted burgers to appease your growling stomach. You might not expect to find such culinary excellence in a street-side stall, but Crabby Patty’s is all about rewriting the food truck narrative. Pair that juicy burger with their spicy homemade chili or coleslaw, and you’ve got yourself a meal fit for a pro golfer.
Just a chip shot away is ‘Lowcountry Seafood’, a Myrtle Beach native’s secret spot serving the tastiest seafood. Nestled next to the Intracoastal Waterway, this is where sun-kissed golfers hang up their clubs and submit to the aroma wafting from the boiling pots of blue crabs, shrimp, and freshly-shucked oysters. The spicy shrimp boil is a must-try, the heat from the spices perfectly complemented by the cool ocean breeze.
Spice lovers should not miss the ‘Chili Van’, an unassuming food truck that makes the most incredible chili in town. Made with a special blend of spices and slow cooked with local ingredients to perfection, it’s the perfect place to regain strength after an exciting day swinging clubs.
No culinary exploration is complete without a sweet indulgence. Cue in ‘The Sweet Swing Dessert Truck’, a fun and retro-looking food truck that is a hit with the locals and tourists alike. From classic gooey brownies to creative like golf-themed cupcakes and cleverly crafted ‘tee-ramisu’, every delightful choice will cure your sweet tooth cravings.
Lucky for us, Myrtle Beach locals know how to make the most out of happy hours. The ‘Putt Putt Pub’, a locally-owned mobile pub, serves up a variety of local beers and signature cocktails. As the blend of the sweet South Carolina sunset and the warm camaraderie fills the air, unwind with a refreshing drink as you reminisce about your game.
While the easy camaraderie among golfers and the love of the game drive the spirit of Tidewater Golf Club, the fusion of Street Food offers a new appeal to anyone exploring North Myrtle Beach. This symbiosis between food and golf combines two things we all love – delicious, hearty food and leisure sport, showing us how it’s entirely possible to maximize a golfing holiday’s potential.
So, gastronomes and golfers, the next time you step out onto the lush greens of Tidewater Golf Club, remember there’s a culinary adventure waiting for you just beyond the 18th hole. Play, eat and rejoice in this unique fusion of street food and golf. Track your shots, keep score, but more importantly, keep eating!
