It's time for The Open Championship and every avid golfer has his or her TV tuned into the live action that starts showing in the wee hours of the morning. Okay, the worker bees among us (or the lazy) are watching The Golf Channel highlights each night.
The Open is the stuff that golf dreams are made of. Even when 40 mph winds make the players cry uncle and the R&A cancels a round. What golfer worth his clubs doesn't dream of playing that great Scottish links course, St. Andrews?
But maybe your budget can't support a trip across the pond.
So, how about a wee taste of the next best thing? You could call it Scottish lite.
Glens Golf Group in Myrtle Beach, SC has some great layouts that are designed to give you a taste of the old country without the high prices.
Experience Glen Dornoch where a cooling wind comes off the Waterway while you navigate the gently rolling hills and try to avoid pot bunkers.
At Heather Glen, you play along the lovely Firth of Clyde and heather-laced dunes, challenged by bunkers with names like the Devil's Mistress.
Or tee it up at Shaftesbury Glen, inspired by world-famous courses like Winged Foot and designed as a traditional British Isles course.
Right now, there are a variety of packages that can double your play because they add in FREE rounds.
OK, Glens is not really Scotland. But, then again, there are no 40 mph winds to cancel play. And even the most frugal Scotsman will love the price.
