 For most folks who journey across “the pond” to play golf, chances are
pretty good they’ll want to play in Scotland at courses like St.
Andrews, Turnberry and Royal Dornoch. While those courses and the
enchanting towns they inhabit are steeped in history, those wanting a
more diverse and dramatic golfing experience should consider Ireland,
in particular its southwestern quadrant.

 Things aren’t always the way they seem. Remember M. Night Shyamalan’s
movie, The Sixth Sense, with its edge-of-your-seat surprise ending? (If
you haven’t seen it, Bruce Willis reveals in the last minute that he
wears a toupee.) Just kidding.

 With more than 16,000 golf courses in the United States, you’d think
there would be plenty of opportunities for golfers to find their own
slice of heaven—a quiet, unpopulated course where they can roam freely
without feeling crowded by other golfers. But that’s not the case. Even
though 3,206 courses have been added to the U.S. golf course database
since 1990, it’s still really hard to find 18 holes that you can call
your own. Wouldn’t it be great to know that you could just walk on a
course whenever you wanted and have the place all to yourself?

Clubs aside, what else to pack
|
|

 Surprises are usually the last thing you’re looking for on a golf trip.
No matter where in the world you’re lugging your clubs, and regardless
of the time of year, you can never be too prepared for the likes of
ugly weather, snarled traffic, allergy attacks, lost luggage, stolen
clubs and more. That’s why what you pack for your golf trip should
consist of more than just clubs, balls and golf clothes. Other staple
items may make your vacation a lot more enjoyable and easy.

Tips and tricks for a better trip
|
|
By Scott Kramer

 If you want to maximize fun and minimize panic on your next golf
vacation, then prepare up front. That is, think about where you’re
heading and what’s unique about that place. Then imagine everything you
might encounter on your journey, and address your concerns before you
walk out your front door. Work the trip chronologically through your
mind, and use the Internet as much as possible. As the time of your
trip approaches, start a running checklist of everything you need to
pack, keeping it on your nightstand so it’s conveniently located.

 We know what you’re thinking. And while we’re somewhat guilty of taking
pleasure in riding the Peter Pan and Dumbo rides, the Walt Disney World
mecca is also home to some outstanding golf. There are 99 holes there,
with top-rated golf courses that include the Magnolia and Palm, two
courses that regularly play host to the PGA Tour every year. Say what
you will about the theme parks, Walt Disney World has some awesome golf
courses to boot.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
|

 The common misperception is that all 100+ courses along the Grand
Strand are right on top of each other. Not the case. (It’s not named
the Grand Strand for nothing.) From the southern chunk of North
Carolina to Georgetown County 20 miles south of Myrtle Beach, the Grand
Strand (or as numerologists call it, Hwy. 17) stretches over 60 miles
with golf courses that range from the sublime high-end daily fees to
cheap munis. It seems there’s literally every type (and price range)
available for all kinds of budgets and skill levels.
