Some communities have their own courts — Barefoot Resort and Kingston Plantation among them — while others sit minutes from a public facility. If courts matter to you, it is worth factoring in before you choose a neighborhood rather than after.
Communities within easy reach of the courts on this page include Carolina Forest and Market Common in Myrtle Beach, Cherry Grove and Little River to the north, and Surfside Beach and Murrells Inlet to the south.
