451.0. "FALL GOLF IN SOUTH CAROLINA" by OURVAX::GLASS () Mon Nov 21 1988 19:44

    Hi Golfers,
    We just returned from a two(2) week golf vacation at Myrtle Beach.
    We stayed in our home at Island Green and had the best of weather.
    For example, the daily highs were from the low 70's to the high
    70's each day and there was only rain on our first Saturday.
    
    We played with some super visitors from as far north as Montreal
    and as far south as Orlando, Florida. Everyone played to their own
    game and found to be matched with us due to the starter's choice.
    
    The new Prestwick course will open late this year and it is a private
    course near our place. We played Heritage, Wachesaw and Pine Lakes
    by way of contacts that our pro has at these courses. Each is great!
    
    Golf is great and even greater in the type of weather we experienced
    from 4 November thru 18 November,1988.

451.1thanks for making me sufferMJOSWS::FAGLEYbeat the residentTue Nov 22 1988 12:245
      I'm envious... BUT... maybe playing in 40 degrees, high winds,
    and rain will make a better golfer of me!  (At least my pain and
    suffering threshold will be higher!!!)

    Curiosity strikes...
    
    Does anyone frequent this file that lives in the Greenville S.C. area?
    I'm considering relocating in that area and am curious about the golf.

    Rick, although I havn't played golf in Greenville, it is one of the
    most beautiful cities in SC, maybe the best in the South. If Greenville
    is anything like the rest of SC, you can bet there will be great golf.
    I bet Clemson has a great course, and your not far from Furman U.
    Furman has had a few notables play there.
    
    Namely  Beth Daniels, & Brad Faxon
    
    Good Luck. I envy your move. I tried to find something in Greenville
    myself.

451.4Not California, but...LABC::MCCLUSKYWed Nov 14 1990 18:0113
    re:.2
    I live in Los Angeles, but visit Spartanburg, S.C. to see my
    Father-in-Law.  Greenville is immediately adjacent. Each time we visit, we 
    take the three hour drive to Hilton Head for some outstanding golf.  I
    don't recall how I got in touch with them, but I have some E-mail from
    RAVEN1::BLAIR, that suggested I try Links o' Tryon, in Tryon, N.C.
    which is close by.  The area is nice and there seems to be some nice 
    courses, but many are private.  Of course Myrtle Beach is closer than
    Hilton Head and may have more courses.  It's not quite California and 
    doesn't have the variety of desert, mountains, ocean, links, etc. but I
    have enjoyed all the courses in S.C.  Good Luck.

    I live in Columbia, SC but visit Greenville regularly both on business
    and I've got in-laws there.
    
    There are numerous excellent courses.  I ususally pplay at Carolina
    Springs which is a 27 hole club in Simpsonville, just outside of
    Greenville.  A brand new course has just opened within a mile of the
    plant next to the Embassy Suites (can't recall the name).  Paris
    Mountain about five miles north of Greenville has a very nice, if
    rather hilly course.  Furman's course is LONGGG and beautiful, howver,
    it is also private as are many of the nicer courses.
    
    Actually Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach are about the same distance and
    driving time from Greenville, close to four hours.  The mountains of
    North Carolina are only a couple of hours away.  Grove Park Inn in
    Ashville, NC has a very good course.
    
    Roy Boulanger of the Greenville Field Service organization is an avid
    golfer and can give you a lot more info on courses in the area, however
    I do not think he follows this conference.  You can E-Mail him at
    AUNTB::BOULANGER or the DTN for the secretary there is 367-6225.
    
    You will love South Carolina, especially from November through April
    while all your friends up north are green with envy as you play every
    weekend.
    
    Good Luck!!
