South Coast Golf Guide Offers Comprehensive Coverage of Golf Courses along the Gulf Coast from Tallahassee, Florida to the Louisiana/Texas border.

The Golf Guide

For over 24 years, South Coast Golf Guide remains the only comprehensive color guide featuring golf courses from the Texas-Louisiana border to Tallahassee, Florida. Course profiles are featured in full color with course information, detailed driving directions, and course statistics. Each state features a map with course contact information and corresponding locator numbers for easy consumer access.

The Objective

The objective of the publication is to inform the consumer, whether in search of a golf vacation or a family vacation, of the quality and affordability of the area’s properties. It also informs the consumer of the convenience and wide variety each location offers.

Serving a dual function as an in-market as well as an out-of-market vehicle, the guide provides valuable information to the consumer in selecting that final destination.
