Watching The Open on ABC TV and longing to hop a jet and head to Turnberry to pursue your own scoring dreams?
If your wallet's thin and that's just not gonna happen, you might consider a trip to some Scottish-inspired layouts in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
The rolling, links-style fairways of Heather Glen will transport you to Scotland in your mind. Or head over to Glen Dornoch and feel the wind off the Intracoastal Waterway in your face. Gorse-like grasses, pit bunkers, sea breezes. These Scottish-inspired, award-winning gems are among the best in the U. S.
If you have a third day to tee it up, head inland to Shaftesbury Glen, a course just awarded the prestigious Myrtle Beach Golf Course Owners Course Of The Year honor. The folks that voted on this are the owners of the 100 courses in the self-proclaimed world capital of golf, so when they chose the best, you should perk up your ears.
In for a penny, in for a pound. Why not just complete the fantasy by staying in the Scottish-inspired Village of the Glens or go first cabin and bunk in the exclusive suites above the clubhouse at Shaftesbury Glen. No matter which you choose, you'll spend a fraction of the cost of a trip across the big pond.
The Glens Golf Group, owners of these super courses, have some great deals. Find them at http://www.glensgolfgroup.com .
Myrtle Beach may not be Turnberry, but you just may find the Glens courses are the next best thing.
