If youre looking for some of the best golf communities you wont have to look far. In fact, you will only have to look as far as your Golf Digest to get the low down on all of the best golf community hometowns. An in depth review of 244 counties has lead Golf Digest to name Myrtle Beach the best golf community town in its June edition of the magazine. The special report by the well-known magazine has taken the time to highlight the top ten golf communities in eight different regions so that those that are interested can travel to and even relocate to these private communities.
The Golf Digest report states that more than 1 million vacation homes were sold in 2005 alone, and for 1/3 of those that purchased their vacation home golf was a deciding factor into where and when they bought their home. This is an interesting fact and one that influenced the special report. To determine the best golf communities in the country the magazine worked around specific criteria involving the number and quality of courses, the number of days per year that the course can be used, golf score, and course congestion. The report also took into consideration crime rates in the area, airport access, off course amenities, as well as cost of living. Myrtle Beach simple ranked number one in all of these areas.
