Golf Week magazine, May 1996: ��A place I thought didn�t exist in Myrtle Beach; tasteful, classy, imbued with the history of the Lowcountry, quiet and elegant� Best of all, all this luxury is Myrtle Beach value-priced� It�s reassuring to know that an alternative exists out there near the Waccamaw River: underneath the boughs of an oak tree as old as the country.�
