DeBordieu Colony
In terms of golf communities, DeBordieu Colony, located just four miles from the old town of Georgetown, SC, and within 45 minutes or so of Myrtle Beach International Airport, pretty much has it all for those who find comfort in the presence of lots of other folks, as well as for those who don't mind a bit of contemplative solitude every once in a while. Some mornings, you may have the beach at DeBordieu virtually to yourself although, technically speaking, the three-mile stretch of sand is accessible to the public because all beaches in South Carolina are open to the public. But since DeBordieu is gated and guarded 24x7, the only way for a non-resident of the community to get to the beach is by boat, or to be dropped by helicopter (or the simplest way, to be invited by a DeBordieu homeowner). Since the stretch of sand from North Myrtle Beach to Georgetown, about 50 miles, is beautiful and almost entirely accessible by less exotic means –- car, bicycle, golf cart where permitted –- visits from non-residents to DeBordieu's beach are infrequent and "no big deal" even when they do arrive by boat, according to DeBordieu real estate sales executive Troi Kaz. In terms of golf, we will resist the puns on designer Pete Dye's last name and say instead his course at DeBordieu is something to live for a few times a week. Moderate temperatures in winter help make the links-like turf quite playable year round.
