Southern slice of Scotland: Heather Glen Golf Links near Myrtle Beach
Heather Glen Golf Links, not surprisingly, has a Scottish feel that begins at the plaid-carpeted clubhouse and continues onto the links-style course.

At Fripp Island Resort's Ocean Creek Golf Club, you'll remember the marshes, the gorgeous strolls or perhaps the rides along dozens of wooden paths built atop tropical vegetation.

Once you've experienced Kiawah Island Golf Resort's famed and daunting Ocean Course, you'll probably be in need of a friendlier kind of golf course, and Osprey Point just down the road is your haven.

Coosaw Creek C.C. is one of those sly little golf courses that proves you don't have to be a big muscle-bound hamburger to land the knockout punch. It's only 6,593 yards from the back tees but sports a slope of 140 - that's getting pretty close to he-man, Mike Tyson status, especially for a little fella. The trick? Coosaw Creek makes you match your brain with your driver (sometimes a volatile combination).
