South Carolina is a great winter getaway.\u00a0 Myrtle Beach is definitely the most recognized and visited golf destination for Canadians.\u00a0 However as I can attest to there are many other regions

they go south to golf.\u00a0 There obviously is no simple answer but when I probe to see what they actually need, often the answer is \u201cwarm weather, clean accommodations, good golf and nearby restaurants\u201d.\u00a0 If you are looking for an inexpensive golf destination where you can get away from the glaring neon lights, congested traffic, all-you-can-hold-down buffets and milling tourists to truly concentrate on your passion, look no further.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6307\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

afternoon off from golf, there is world-class fishing on Lake Marion and Moultrie Lake where you can catch striped and largemouth bass, crappie, bream and some of the largest catfish that you have ever seen.\u00a0 They also have bike trails, hiking paths, canoe and kayak rentals if you want to explore the 450 miles of coastline that these two lakes have to offer. \u00a0And there is a Factory Outlet Mall here if you feel compelled to add to your wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p><b>HospitaliTEE <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Santee offers 9 clean and comfortable motels, hotels and inns to choose from, each within

comforts of home, there are 2 and 3-bedroom villas available at Lake Marion, Chapel Creek and Ballard Pointe that all back onto golf courses. \u00a0\u00a0Imagine being able to walk from your room to
