Have a couple of bad holes and an otherwise great round morphs into an embarrassing disaster thanks to stroke play. No wonder so many women quit golf. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Exactly what is it about the Grand Strand that lures millions
of golfers to its shores every year? Certainly, there is
no underestimating the region’s climate. Summers are
hot, but bearable because of the ocean. Spring and fall
are close to perfect, and winter is a walk in the park for
those from the Midwest or the Northeast. Nor can you discount
that phenomenon otherwise known as the golf package.
They can make or break your golf trip to Myrtle Beach, and
their condition is completely out of your control. Golf
greens are a quintessential trademark by which all golf
courses are ultimately judged. And based on popular opinion,
visitors to the Grand Strand want them true, fast, and in
immaculate condition, even if they're going to three-putt
them. Who can blame them?
Magnolia Greens Golf Plantation doesn't seem to mind its
reputation as the best course to play on the way to and
from the Grand Strand. This Tom Jackson designed golf haven
just south of Wilmington is a popular stop for golfers as
they make their way to and from points north. But with 27-holes,
a solid selection of golf villas, and a location just 10
minutes from downtown historic Wilmington, Magnolia Greens
easily stands on its own as one of the area's premier golfing
destinations.
Legitimate golf destination, or convenient, "in-between" market?
This is the question that faces bucolic Brunswick County
as the Grand Strand begins its eminent rebound from the
travel slump brought on by the tragic events of Sept. 11.
The arguments for Brunswick County being a true golf destination
are compelling, and the body evidence is substantial. The
county is home to over one quarter of the Grand Strand's
golf courses, and has been the most active region of the
Grand Strand in terms of new course construction over the
past five years.
