That's great, good for you. I'm still stuck in the snow until April 10. Are all the courses in MB perfect or are there some municipal type ones too?

On your list, Palencia is a joy to play (but a little pricey), that last hole is terrific. South Hampton is where I met Ernest Wilford when he played for the Jags. I mentioned to the starter that I was a Jags ST holder and a few minutes later as I left the 1st green, Ernest rode out in a golf cart to say hello. He happened to have been at the course and had just finished his round.

Classy move.

There's all kinds of price ranges up in Myrtle.  We usually put together a middle of the road price range kind of package.  My buddy from California and I try to get together every year or two to play golf for a few days.  Went to Phoenix a couple of years ago and it was a blast.  I had never played 'desert golf' before and it's a different experience.  We usually go to Myrtle because there's such a wide variety of choices and you can always put together a good four or five day package.

Yes, Palencia is a little pricey but they send me 'member for a day coupons' every so often, and it's only $65.  Still a bit pricey but good for that course.  I think Palencia is the second most difficult course that I play.  Royal St. Augustine being first.  It's almost unfair (to me) unless you can hit the ball straight every time.  Hell, you can still get in trouble if you hit it straight with the slant of some of the fairways.  I haven't played there in several years because of that.
