I need some input. Im looking to go on a golf trip for about 3 days, and was wondering where I should go. I was looking into TPC Sawgrass, but that's a little pricey. Any recommendations on some great golf, without breaking the bank. Im looking to stay on the east coast, preferably Florida or one of the Carolinas.

Myrtle Beach has a lot of courses and quite a bit of stuff to do, but if lower cost is important to you look into the Santee, SC area. It's quite a bit cheaper than a Myrtle trip. There is not a lot of other stuff to do and less courses, but you can play a lot more golf for less money. Just do a search via Google (or whatever engine you use) for Santee Golf and you'll find some information. It's a little north and west of Charleston, SC.

It's hard to argue with Myrtle. You can find packages for as little as $60 a night (including golf, lodging, and breakfast). I just got a quote from The Glens. For 4 people they quoted us $433 for a 3 night stay, and through in complimentary replays on Saturday and Sunday.

I'd love you to come down and spend your money in FL.......but I've got to agree that driving past Myrtle to get here for a 3 day trip doesn't make much sense.

The only issue could be some difference in the weather, but honestly, this time of year you should be fine.

If you do want to drive the extra distance and don't mind spending the money, you can come down to St Augustine, see the Golf Hall of Fame, play the two courses there, and hit the TPC at Sawgrass all in the same trip. 30 minutes south of there is Palm Coast and Hammock Dunes. Doing so will prob add at least a full days drive to the trip and would be a lot more expensive though.

For a quick spring getaway, I'd do Myrtle.

can't argue with myrtle if those are the states your looking at. Try the Dunes course by RTJ its a good track.

One destination you may look at would be Montgomerie Alabama at the Capital Courses on the RTJ trail. It has a great quiet hotel and the three courses that are there make for three great days of golf.

If you want to have stuff other than golf to do... Myrtle is definately good, and you can fit it into any price range. However if you want to play the best golf... go to the Sandhills of NC... they have Pinehurst (8 Courses), Pine Needles and a whole slew of top notch courses in the area. This area can be done at pretty much any price point as well. Not sure when you are going, but some destinations are obviously better at certain times of the year.

edit: didn't notice someone resurrected an old thread... my input was too late. Alcorn... why are you resurrecting old threads when the OP says they have made a decision?

      I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
