30 miles south of Myrtle Beach the vibe is "mint-julep and rocking chairs." And the golf is just as enticing.
I’m willing to bet everything in my meager Roth IRA that about as many

If the Okanagan Valley of Canada’s British Columbia is considered the
best place in the country for winemaking, then consider the golf in the
area to be the perfect filet mignon. Located just an hour by air from

5,000 acres.

Rees Jones and Myrtle Beach regular, Dan Maples, to name a few, and
find themselves negotiating marshland, rivers and creeks, as many
courses take advantage of the area’s natural hazards.
