One of the best things about golf is the travel aspect of the game because all golf courses are different.
Whether you play in the mountains, the desert or the Carolina low country, every golf course has its own identity. Each golf course architect creates his own spin as he routes the course through a particular terrain. The golfer experiences different views, grasses, yardages, lakes, rivers, creeks, ponds, salt marshes, elevations and challenges as he plays the round.
Travel golf adds a fabulous dimension to the game, especially if you go with a group of friends.
