 “We Built This City On Rock And Ross.”
Donald Ross’s imprint on golf-course design has been everlasting.
Ross’s love affair with Pinehurst began with his work on the famed No.
2 course at the Pinehurst Resort—a course most experts agree is not
only the finest of Ross’s designs, but also among the best ever
designed in America. |

Georgia Coast/Hilton Head/Charleston

 The Civil War marks the darkest, most trying period in all of American
history. It all began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery
opened fire on Fort Sumter. The Union army surrendered the fort less
than two days later. Journey by boat into Charleston Harbor and
experience the isolation and vulnerability that those soldiers felt
when hostilities erupted. A bonus of the trip is a wonderful view of
Charleston from the water. |

 It’s not hard to see why the people at Cuscowilla Golf Resort really
love golf. Just look at the place. For starters, the grounds unfold
about 70 miles from Atlanta in Eatonton, Ga., at the banks of the
spectacular 20,000-acre Lake Oconee. The centerpiece—err,
masterpiece—golf course is a tremendous work of art, a collaboration by
arguably one of the hottest design duos in the world (Ben Crenshaw/Bill
Coore).

courses designed for every kind of golfer. |

Coastal Georgia and South Carolina supply great golf with a Southern charm. Florida supplies great golf with everything else.

 Perhaps no other region in the country has such a varied and stunning
definition as the great Southeast. Depending on who you are and where
you’re from, the states of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina probably
have a different meaning to you. Take a 13-year-old kid from Wisconsin,
for example, and Florida to him is all about thrill rides, waterslides
and Jet Skis. To a middle-aged boating enthusiast from New York, the
region is paradise for power boating, deep-sea fishing and sailing. But
for the rest of us, the self-professed mass of golf freaks, addicts,
aficionados, hackers and players, the Southeast means eclectic,
Tour-proven golf, especially if you’re talking about hot spots like
Kiawah Island in South Carolina, the Golden Isles of Georgia’s coast
(including Sea Island, Jekyll Island and St. Simons Island), and the
Sunshine State’s flagship destination cities of Orlando, Tampa,
Jacksonville and Daytona Beach. |

Abundance in Myrtle Beach
|
|
By Staff

 Myrtle Beach is one of those places that exists in pure dichotomy,
where it seems you can be in two completely different places at the
same time. On one hand, you have a jillion high-end golf courses to
pick and choose from, most of which rival the best golf courses along
the eastern seaboard. Several present not only a dazzling setting and
an exciting challenge, but also a warm sense of southern hospitality,
charm, class and sophistication. On the other hand, Myrtle Beach can be
just as enticing off course, that is, if wearing a bib and chowing down
on crabmeat or throwing back a pitcher of beer (or two) with your
buddies is high on your list of things to do. |

 Nestled in the Sandhills of central North Carolina lies a roughly
triangular area encompassing the villages of Southern Pines, Aberdeen
and the quaint little walking village of Pinehurst (designed by
Frederick Law Olmsted, who also created New York's Central Park) and
Pinehurst Resort. The center of Pinehurst-area golf is, and always has
been, the Resort’s world-renowned #2 course. Today the area is home to
43 excellent courses and counting. It’s known as the "Home of American
Golf." |

 The home of golf in the United States is a hotly debated topic, but
Charleston can actually lay claim to the nation’s first golf course and
golf club—Harleston Green and the South Carolina Golf Club, both of
which were established in 1786. And while Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head
may be the main golfing destinations in the Palmetto State, Charleston
also possesses its own rich golfing culture. |
