A year and $15 million later, the granddaddy of Myrtle Beach golf is a new, old club. Some of Pine Lakes Country Club's "old" aspects are new, like the plus-fours and argyle socks that the bag and cart crews wear.

... full article »Near Hilton Head Island, Rose Hill Golf Club is two courses in one
Rose Hill Golf Club is tale of two nines. There are few doglegs on the front, instead it's a parade of straight holes. The back seems to be a different course - more doglegs, more water, bunkers, length and trees. This is where you just try to hold on and talk about over beers later.
