Fall is the perfect golf season, so why not play more?

Here are the reasons why our fall golf season is one of the best on planet earth. What most locals don’t understand is how many people from all over the world visit our area during October and November.

Hilton Head, Charleston, and the mountainous regions near Greenville in South Carolina are extremely busy, even flooded with tourists who want to experience our fall golf season.

Here is why they visit:

1. The trees and vegetation is absolutely breathtaking. The different golf grasses are at their aesthetic best while providing a premium playing surface.

2. The weather provides the ultimate wrapper with mild temperatures, while the air is fresh, light and clean.

3. The suns’ angle provides a unique brightness, and tone that seems only available in the fall.

4. The birds and wildlife even have a special vigor that is reflected in sounds and sights.

Golf seems more enjoyable with our fall season. It’s another reason why folks from all over the world come here to visit.

Check your schedule and think about this: Being outdoors on beautifully manicured terrain, celebrating God’s work in nature, creating golf shots in your mind, with a golf club in hand can have a huge impact on your perspective, attitude and disposition. Just go and play.
