Myrtle Beach, South Carolina has become well-known for its golfing, with many people traveling to what has become known as the Grand Strand, specifically for this purpose. The area includes more than one hundred golf courses throughout, with the golfing being offered on an individual basis and also through golf package deals. Depending on what you are looking for from a golf course, you will find it here. These courses are designed by some of the greats, such as Tom Jackson, P.B. Dye, Clyde Johnston, George Fazio, Rees Jones, Gene Hamm, Fred Couples, William Byrd, David Johnson, and Jack Nicklaus.

These golf courses are well-honored. The Aberdeen Country Club offers the “Meadows”, “Highlands”, and “Woodlands” nines, and has received Golf Digest’s medallions for value and service, as well as the Blackmoor Country Club. Both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine have named the Arcadian Shores Golf Club as a “Course of Distinction”, while Golf Magazine selected Grande Dunes as “Top Ten You Can Play.”

Lion’s Paw at Ocean Ridge Plantation has been judged by Golf Digest as one of the “Places to Stay” and “Best in the Myrtle Beach Area.” Oyster Bay Golf Course is seen as one of the top fifty public courses in the country. Golf Week selected River Hills Golf Club as one of the top fifty in the southeast, while River Oaks was rated one of the top five on the Grand Strand by Golf Course Magazine. Tidewater Golf Club and Plantation has been ranked number one on the Grand Strand and one of the top thirty-two public courses in American since its debut. Golf Digest refers to True Blue as the seventh best in South Carolina and the number one course in Myrtle Beach.

Many of these courses have outstanding reputations. Brierwood Golf Club, just north of Myrtle Beach, is the most played course on the Carolina Coast. Myrtlewood Golf Club ÐÊPinehills Course is believed by some to be the best-kept course on the Grand Strand. Designed by Ray Floyd, holes two, three, and four of “The Cypress” at Arrowhead Country Club are said to be the most scenic in America. Myrtle Beach golfers voted one of the holes at Colonial Charters as one of the “dream holes”, and hole number nine at the Indian Wells Country Club has been named to the “Grand Strand’s Dream Eighteen.” The three toughest holes to finish on the Grand Strand are thought to be at Eagles Nest. Caledonia Golf and Fish Club has often been thought of as the best course built in the past twenty years.

The commercial has employees in front of a background that looks like buildings and they are on the phone with their boss saying “we’re on it” to every question he has. Then a bird flies into the canvas and knocks it over showing that they reallhy were on a golf course.

When it comes to purchasing a home, you can’t be too picky. After all, most first and even second homes cost a good chunk of change. If you enjoy golf and are interested in a golf course community, you’ve probably noticed lists of the top golf course communities in America circling around the Internet and in trade magazines. But what makes these homes so special? Why, exactly, are they a step above the rest? Are they worth the extra money? Lake Arrowhead definitely makes the cut when describing top communities on golf courses - but why?

First a foremost, the real estate market for golf course communities is booming. As Tiger Woods breathed new life into the sport in the 1990s, younger generations began to invest more time into their new favorite hobby-golf, of course! This surge of players increased the demand for homes along golf course, with an estimated three out of every five course now built in conjunction with community developers. Some of these golf course communities are great, and some…well…some leave a bit to be desired.

That’s the first mark of top golf course communities in America-the homes are new. Because there was not much of a demand for golf course communities in the past, the first communities were little more than your typical housing development, which just happened to be on a golf course. Today’s developments are built with the classy consumer in mind and these really are the top homes for sale in America. At Lake Arrowhead, new homes are being built as you read this-they’ll be available in late 2007.

However the newness of a golf course community isn’t the only aspect that contributes to the neighborhood’s top spot. One must also consider the perks that come with living in a golf course community. While most include membership at some level for the golf course, those that call themselves the top golf course communities in America. These amenities can make or break a golf course community site.

Every location is different in what they offer. At Lake Arrowhead, for example, you’ll find the lake with a marina, a swimming pool, tennis courts, nature trails, an outfitters center, and a fine dining restaurant. In the future, other amenities will also be added. These extra special touches can elevate a golf course community’s desirability immensely.

Course design is crucial as well. The best courses are challenging, but also appropriate for all skill levels, as many different people will be interested in living in the community. Innovation is key. This golf course is where thousands of people will be playing most often, so it has to be interesting and include new and different design elements. Find out who has designed the course if you’re interested in the top golf course communities in America. Where have they designed in the past? Have they worked with PGA professionals? Who consulted with the course design? If possible, play the course once or twice before you make a choice about moving into any course community.

Don’t forget that the houses are important too! The top golf course communities in America have not only amazing courses and features like restaurants, but they also have amazing homes-the top homes for sale in America, in fact. If you can build your own home, that’s even better. Some communities are so populated that you can only buy homes-there’s no land for building new ones.

Homes that are larger and include things like private pools, home spas, and marble countertops can raise the value of the entire community. The neighborhoods that have houses built with care and value in mind are those that are seen as the top communities. One of the best features about Lake Arrowhead is the homes and the ability to design a new home if you want to build instead of buy.

In the end, the best golf course communities aren’t built in a day. Lake Arrowhead and others like it are exclusive places because of the shear time that goes into planning them. If you’re interested in finding a premiere golf course neighborhood, look for the age of the community itself, the amenities, the gold course design, and the housing. Above all else, these qualities will clue you in as to the lifestyle you can expect if you move into the community you’re researching.

The golf miniature course has to be 10 by 3. It’s going to be in a Meeting room with 4 other golf courses. I’m going borrow my buddy’s indoor putting green (a small green runway with a ramp and hole). I need to do something clever b/c i’m competing with other marketing mangers. Sr. Mangers will be putting in these courses and judge which one is best. The courses should relate to accounting/finance and be tasteful. Can you give me some ideas?
