My favorite spot for golf in the Myrtle Beach area is the Barefoot Resort. There are four golf courses there by four different and notable golf course designers in Greg Norman, Davis Love III, Tom Fazio and Pete Dye. The Fazio and Dye courses are my two favorites there. Golf packages can be fairly expensive, but the golf and lodging is worth the money in my opinion.MyGolfTeacherhttp://www.mygolfteacher.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-81217153963119591732011-08-10T13:20:13.031-04:002011-08-10T13:20:13.031-04:00Kiawah Island Ocean Course is hands down my top fa...Kiawah Island Ocean Course is hands down my top favorite course that I have played. I can't wait to get back down there and play it again. <br /><br />@J.W. - Yes, it is a challenge. When I played, the winds were sustained at 35-40mph and I played the back tees at 7,800yds. Needless to say I shot 93 and wasn't too happy. The funny thing was the Head Pro there said that was considered good for a first round there.BoKnowsGolfTipshttp://www.bo-knows-golftips.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-81901692386214759792011-08-10T10:25:28.994-04:002011-08-10T10:25:28.994-04:00The Charleston public course is definitely flat.

Having grown up out West, that course sets a new standard for being flat! I have played the courses all the courses at the Kiawah Island resort on various trips. They are good fun. The Ocean Course is quite challenging and quite expensive. If my game is up to that level of challenge, I sometime give that a shot.J. W. Penlandhttp://www.golfnia.comnoreply@blogger.com
