Golf in the Carolinas
Advertisers |
Situated on the sub-tropical Atlantic shoreline of the American south, Carolina is one of the quintessential golf experiences for holidaymakers.
Warmed by the winds blowing across the Gulfstream waters of the South Atlantic, Carolina offers respite and relaxation for golfers looking to keep their game in shape while the weather at home keeps people indoors.
One of the most popular destinations for British golfers who come in their droves every year is Myrtle Beach. Also known as the Grand Strand, many believe Myrtle Beach possesses the greatest collection of public access courses anywhere. With more than 120 courses in a 60-mile stretch of coastline, some of the most renowned names in world golf architecture have put their stamp on courses in the area.
About 90 miles down the Carolina coast is Charleston, one of America’s historic treasures. Charleston was founded in 1670 and at nearly every turn along narrow cobblestone streets you get a sense of America’s past and its British influence.
But perhaps the piece of Charleston golf history more vividly etched in the mind of Brits is the 1991 Ryder Cup contest held at nearby Kiawah Island. There are five courses to enjoy here, so take your pick.
Seabrook Island and Crooked Oaks are two great golfing resorts not too far away and both are ideal for a weekend’s activities with the clubs.
Yet another 90 minutes to the south is Hilton Head Island, long known as one of America’s most pristine environments in a visitor-friendly setting. Accessible from the mainland only by bridge, Hilton Head Island is a holiday oasis bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west. Sea Pines and Palmetto Dunes are two of the best resorts on offer for goflers here.
Wherever you choose to visit you can expect tip-top weather conditions, generously priced green fees and a memorable welcome.
