How to Choose the Perfect Golf Community
Settling down in a golf community is a clear choice for those who desire a life on the links. From the pleasant smell of the fresh-cut greens to the anticipation of an early morning tee-off, golf community living provides lovers of the sport a zest for life not found anywhere else, while also offering pleasures beyond the 18th hole! Residents from all walks of life can find comfort and leisure through the wealth of amenities these luxury communities provide.
To help you make your move, we have compiled some of the top criteria to consider when selecting your perfect golf community and why McCord’s Ferry at Lake Marion is a true golfer’s paradise.
Consider the Weather
One of the major benefits of living in a golf community is the unlimited potential for play. Though a course may be open all year, a sudden snowfall or extreme weather could render it unusable. Golfers looking to make the most of their courses should emphasize climate when selecting their community.
For residents of the South, such as in Santee, SC, weather conditions often prove ideal for outdoor activities regardless of the season. With a beautifully sunny summer and fall, as well as a mild winter and spring, golfers can enjoy year-round rounds on the green.
Privacy is as Important as Proximity
Having a golf course outside your front door may sound like a dream. But between stray balls landing in your yard and the sound of noisy mowers and other golfers passing by, this dream can prove to be a nightmare. Keeping your space separate but close to your favorite spots is often ideal when possible.
McCord’s Ferry residents are fortunate to enjoy a home in the privacy of nature with easy access to some of the best golfing the state offers. Courses surrounding Santee can be enjoyed by golfers of all skill levels. Some of note include those at the Santee National Golf Club and the Pine Forest Country Club, which were featured as 4-star courses in Golf Digest’s Places to Play guide.
Fall in Love With the Area
If you’ve searched for property at any point in your life, you know that location is always king. Finding courses you love is essential, but also keep your life beyond the fairway front of mind. When selecting your ideal golf community, it is just as important to fall in love with the surrounding area. Keep in mind the community’s proximity to important locations such as airports, grocery stores and more.
