Sports Aberdeen <strong>Country</strong> Club, South Carolina, USA Aberdeen <strong>Country</strong> Club is one of the newest golf courses on Myrtle Beach. Inspired by Scotland's legendary Royal Aberdeen, which is the sixth oldest course in all of Scotland, the country club presents a Scottish theme in the heart of North Myrtle Beach. Nestled among ancient Cypress and Tupelo hardwoods of the mystic Waccamaw River, Aberdeen <strong>Country</strong> Club offers serious golfers three superb 9-hole championship courses to hone or show off their skills. Many of the holes on these links reside alongside its natural wetland preserve. Created by Tom Jackson, the 27-hole course incorporates very demanding features that present golfers the kind of challenge that calls for accuracy and precise shot placement, making the Aberdeen <strong>Country</strong> Club a must-visit destination. Royal County Down <strong>Golf</strong> Club, Newcastle, Northern Ireland Royal County Down, located in the seaside town of Newcastle in Northern Ireland, is the British Isles' finest links golf course. Established in 1888, it blends in with the dramatic shadows of the Mourne Mountains, and is considered one of the most difficult courses in the world. For more than 100 years, it had nestled on classic dune land, also in the shadow of Slieve Donard, which plunges 3,000 feet almost to the edge of Dundrum Bay. It has two 18-hole links courses — the Championship Course and the Annesley Links. These two distinct loops of nine holes feature outward half that is closer to the sea, more sandy in nature and offer consistently larger dunes than on the homeward loop. And walking down the first fairway with the sound of breaking waves in your ears is a truly memorable occasion. The golf course has hosted prestigious tournaments such as the Senior British Open, The Amateur Championship, the British Ladies Amateur <strong>Golf</strong> Championship, and the Curtis Cup. This year, it plays host to the 2007 Walker Cup in September. This makes the Royal County Down only the second club in Ireland (after Portmamock in 1991) to host the biennial competition. Riddell's Bay <strong>Golf</strong> and <strong>Country</strong> Club, Warwick, Bermuda Riddell's Bay <strong>Golf</strong> and <strong>Country</strong> Club is the oldest golf course in Bermuda. Located towards the mid to western end of the island in Warwick, Riddell’s Bay is a private club but it also welcomes visitors to the island. This beautiful 18-hole golf course winds along a peninsula, which at its widest, measures only approximately 600 yards. The 5,800 yards of this par-70 course offer scenic delights and lots of challenges including two ponds and three ocean holes. The closing hole provides a view of the recently refurbished, 150-yearold clubhouse. The Clubhouse, originally a farmhouse, has undergone a number of additions and in 1998 was refurbished. It now features an enlarged decorated dining room fit for a casual meal or a multi-course dinner. World <strong>Golf</strong> Village, One World <strong>Golf</strong> Place, St Augustine, Florida, USA The World <strong>Golf</strong> Village located in between St Augustine and Jacksonville, Florida, is home to two legendary golf courses – the Slammer and Squire, and the King and Bear. Designed by Bobby Weed, the Slammer and Squire course was named after consultants Sam Snead (Slammer) and Gene Sarazan (Squire). This 6,939-yard, par-72, 18-hole course combines natural landscape of lakes, ponds and wetlands with hilly terrain. The King and Bear course was created by Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer. This 7,279-yard course is picturesque, dotted with memorable par-5 amidst lakes, pines and 200-year-old live oaks. In addition to the captivating courses, another main attraction of World <strong>Golf</strong> Village is the 75,000-sq ft World <strong>Golf</strong> Hall of Fame museum which showcases talented golfers in unique exhibits.
