Write a 5-sentence piece weaving Golf Digest’s four South Carolina resorts into a cohesive narrative: start with a clear hook about SC punching above its weight in elite golf getaways. Then briefly explain Golf Digest’s scoring method and why these four SC courses earned their spots. Compare the four courses through designer-led design philosophies, landscape, and the distinct experiences they offer, sprinkling in one must-try insider detail from the piece. Add a practical, travel-ready angle with two short itineraries and a quick planning checklist (booking windows, best seasons, key on-site amenities). Close with a forward-looking note on SC’s evolving golf scene and why readers should consider a multi-resort itinerary.
