Golfing Communities in the Southeast : Places to Live and Play in Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas Paperback / softback

People's passion for golf manifests itself in many ways.

Some enjoy the game so much, they want to make it a prominent part of their retirement surroundings.

This work functions as both an informative source for golfing aficionados who are looking for a place to retire, and as a helpful guide for non-golfers in the family.

Here, details on golf communities in six southeastern states are presented: North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. Organized by state, each chapter begins with information on state and city populations; sales, income and social security taxes; and a geographical description.

Each state is divided into geographical areas that offer attractive retirement and golfing opportunities.

For each city listed, a general introduction (including data from the 2000 Census) is provided.

Information on the golf courses, a variety of real estate options, nearby dependable health care services, convenient and varied shopping, favorable year-round climate, continuing education opportunities, nearby recreation, attractions, and dining, and regional artistic and cultural amenities is offered. Lists of both a state's nationally ranked and overall best golf courses, as determined by Golf Digest, are also included at the end of each chapter.
