The front nine on Pete Dye's course at Colleton River Plantation is a mostly traditional-looking lowcountry layout, set in deep forest and weaving throughout the residential community with subtle doglegs. But it's the second half of the course that makes Colleton River among Dye's most remarkable. From the ninth hole through the finish, you're on open, coastal land nudged up to the Port Royal Sound, which filters out toward the Atlantic Ocean.
Your ball is going to find the Shallotte River at least once during your round at River's Edge Golf Club in Shallotte, N.C., that's practically a guarantee. But this river is also going to serve up some of the Carolinas' best marsh holes along the way.

With names not as familiar as Tom Fazio and Pete Dye, another group of talented course designers offer plenty to the Myrtle Beach golf scene. Their golf courses, abundant on the Grand Strand, functional and exciting, attract savvy golfers to this South Carolina hot spot again and again, Brandon Tucker writes.
There's nothing quite like springtime in the Carolinas, teeing it up on a coastal course where the saltwater fills the air. And while the Grand Strand doesn't have any bonafide "ocean" tracks, there are a collection of saltwater golf courses thanks to the Shallotte River, Waccamaw River and Intracoastal Waterway among others. Here are five of the best Myrtle Beach marsh courses.
May 1 is a momentous day for cooped up golfers around the United States. Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico, Nevada and Maine all lifted restrictions to play golf in their state (provided social distancing protocols are in place). Regions like Oahu and San Diego County are also rolling out open tee sheets as well.
Taking its name from the legendary Royal Dornoch in the Highlands of Scotland, Glen Dornoch Waterway Golf Links is arguably the finest of all the Myrtle Beach golf courses along the Intracoastal Waterway.
Unless you previously held a cabinet position in Washington or are the CEO of a large corporation, you're unlikely to ever get the opportunity to play golf at Augusta National. Good news, though. Although you may never get to test the tricky winds at Amen Corner, you do have plenty of golf options when you visit Augusta, Ga. It won't be the place with the pimento cheese sandwiches in the green wrappers, but it's not bad. Veteran Georgia sports writer Stan Awtrey suggests six must-play golf courses in the Augusta area.
We've compiled the top-rated golf courses in the state of Florida for 2014. Southwest Florida was the big winner, with more entries than anywhere else, led by The Hideaway Country Club in Fort Myers.
The Dallas-Fort Worth area has a wealth of good to really good public golf courses. But what may surprise you is that it has one of the best collections of municipals courses in the country. Both Dallas and Fort Worth proper have some pretty good munis, but even better are that many of the suburbs have some outstanding municipal layouts by some pretty good designers. Best of all, they're all very affordable. Here's a rundown of some my favorites.
Kentucky knows hoops and horse racing, but don't forget the golf scene, particularly in the city of Louisville and the surrounding area. From Jack Nicklaus' Valhalla to Fuzzy Zoeller's Covered Bridge to Heritage Hill -- the Bluegrass state has plenty of great golf.

If the Gary Player-designed course at Leopard Creek C.C. isn't South Africa's best, it's certainly in the top two or three, and it may be the country's most exclusive. Still, while the club on the edge of Kruger National Park doesn't have reciprocal agreements with U.S. private clubs, that doesn't mean you can't play it. Mike Bailey has more.
For a links as authentic as they come, it's interesting just how many American influences helped shape Waterville Golf Links in Co. Kerry, Ireland, including Claude Harmon and Tom Fazio. Make no mistake, though. The course may be "American made," but it is blessedly Irish.
Potomac Shores Golf Club, an upscale public course in Dumfries, Va., is set on rolling, forested hills on the banks of the Potomac. Almost every hole on this Jack Nicklaus design is encircled by dense forest, and very few holes are very flat. Most tee shots feature beautiful, elevated vantage points. Greens are large and undulating, so precision on approach shots is the key here.
Leopard Creek's exclusivity, impeccable conditioning and location adjacent to the Kruger National Park create a memorable day. Golfers may encounter monkeys, hippos, crocodiles, antelope, cobras, turtles and lizards.
You can walk the same fairways the pros have under major championship pressure. Tour the golf courses that have hosted the PGA Championship that are open to the public.
