Nestled among the pricier resort courses, The Links at Stono Ferry is a real bargain and it’s in Hollywood, South Carolina, which is, in itself, a cultural experience.

This Ron Garl design is sprinkled with relics from the Revolutionary War. An appealing, if unmemorable, front nine twists through the forests, but things heat up on the back nine, owing to a handful of scenic holes along the Intracoastal Waterway. The all-carry, 159-yard par-3 14th and the 343-yard, par-4 18th, with an island green, are standouts.

Be advised: the rough is thick and nasty and it’s very easy to spend a bit of time hunting balls if you’re not a straight shooter.

After your round stop in at Dean’s in Hollywood for some fresh seafood and hush puppies. The oysters are the best! You’ll thank me for this one!
