My dad lives on Kiawah Island, SC, and I have to say that there is no better place for golfers. I grew up very near Lemont, and although it has some nice courses it is a pale comparison to Kiawah. With 4 unbelievable public courses, including the 5-star Ocean Course, 2 private courses, and many other courses nearby, like Seabrook's 2 private courses and all the courses near Charleston. Not to mention the 10-mile beach and the breathtaking landscape. If you can afford it, I can think of no better place

Grand National's Golf, on the Robert Trent Jones Trail, is one of the best courses in the country. It is located in OPELIKA, Al. 5 miles from Auburn, but in OPELIKA, Al.

Golf nuts will thrive in Pinehurst. The entire community revolves around the golf lifestyle. I must add that Charlotte is really not that convenient to Pinehurst, it is more like 2 hours of bad roads to reach Charlotte.
With fabulous climate, great healthcare, laid back village/resort lifestyle and the best golf in the US, Pinehurst is a great retirement destination. Most people are amazed at the low cost of home ownership in Pinehurst.

I am a lifetime resident of Mount Pleasant and just as important as the incredible availability of golf opportunities is the low property tax bill for Mount Pleasant homes. Mount Pleasant taxes include all of your services which are superb and they are substantially less than most commuties. Housing inventory is healthy and you the town is only 5 minutes from beaches! My website http://woodsflowers.com has a great deal of information about the entire area.

I agree. For a non-golfer like me, I can choose a new place to golf every time and never have to go to the same place twice. Golf courses galore here...public and private. Many people move here for that very reason...and many more will continue to do so.
