| Golf Vacations Even Non-Golfers Will Enjoy: Southeastern United States -A book reviewer from Ohio states, "If you have one or more non-golfers in the family, it's important to plan your golf vacation for where there are things for the others to do while you're on the course. Our family had been planning a Myrtle Beach vacation and had found lots of "general" info on the web, but this book speaks directly to golfers with non-golfers in the group, so it was tremendously helpful to us. We're already planning a trip to Florida for next summer, based on this book's recommendations." Includes vacation ideas for Georgia. |
