When considering golf culture, places like Scotland and Ireland really shine. The way they integrate golf into everyday life is something other countries could learn from.

What do you all think about the golf culture in America? Some courses are fantastic, but the culture seems a bit different.
Definitely a different vibe in the U.S.! It’s more commercialized, but hey, there’s still lots of great golfing options, especially in Florida and California.
Well, at least the U.S. has a diversity of courses. You can play everything from links to desert courses. What’s everyone’s favorite style of course?
I’m partial to links courses! The coastal winds and natural landscapes make for a thrilling game. Any recommendations outside of Scotland?
You might want to check out some courses in Ireland—like Royal County Down. It’s spectacular!
And let’s not forget about the humor that often comes with golfing! I’ve had my fair share of ‘extra strokes’ that were not on the scorecard. Anyone else have funny golf stories?

When choosing a place to live as a golf lover, consider the quality of the courses available. Locations like Scottsdale, AZ, have some of the best-rated courses in the country.
Absolutely! I would also add that the weather plays a huge role. A place with year-round golfing, like Florida, seems ideal for many.
Don’t forget about property values! Some golf communities, while beautiful, can be quite expensive. It’s key to find a balance between amenities and affordability.
Great point! Local amenities like restaurants and shops also matter. A vibrant community can enhance your living experience.

Exactly! The social aspect of living in a golf community is a big draw. Making friends on the course is the best part!
Also, consider course accessibility. Some places have multiple courses close together, which can enhance your golfing options. Myrtle Beach is a prime example.
Myrtle Beach is great! I’ve been there and loved how many courses were available to choose from. Perfect for a golf vacation home!
A lot of these communities also host events. That can be a great way to meet fellow golf lovers and connect with the local area. Have you looked into community events?
Yes! Joining a club can really enhance the experience. Plus, you get first access to tournament sign-ups!
