Ocean Blvd is several miles long, from north to quite a ways south. Where are you staying?

A handful of courses very close to you, just depends how much you want to spend.

Very short drives from where you are, two different prices:

Myrtlewood Golf Club (2 courses, Palmetto and Pinehills): about $50
Grand Dunes (upscale): about $100 or so.

BTW, funny timing....I'm arriving there early that same Saturday morning and staying for the whole week (playing 7 days, love it). I'm currently deciding where to play that day too, as it's customary that I always get there very early and play before I even go to the hotel.

Just across Business 17 from where you are staying is Pine Lakes. Also not too far away is Myrtlewood (already suggested). Another good choice might be Arrowhead. FWIW, I would not go to Arcadian Shores. It may be in good shape in a few months but it was recently taken over by B&C and they really have not had time to get it back into decent shape. Played it last year and it was horrible.
Good luck.
