Friday’s golf will be at Dye at Barefoot Resort – Bordering the natural white sands of the Carolina Bays, this visually stunning design is filled with the infamous pitfalls for wayward shots that have become synonymous with the Dye name. Both beautiful and treacherous, the Dye Course is an experience you won't soon forget.  The course is a Par 72, / 7,343 yard layout.  This visually stunning design is filled with Dye's infamous pitfalls for wary shots. Working with exceptional elevations and an excellent site, this course lives up to the Dye name. Golf Digest rated it "Places to Play, 2004.  " Ranked #10 "Top 50 Courses of Myrtle Beach" by Golf Digest.

Saturday at Arcadian Shores - Combines the best of natural surroundings with the best of modern golf layout.  64 creatively placed sand bunkers and natural lakes, woven in and out of the fairways, and smooth bermuda greens make this a challenge you will long remember. In a recent poll, organized by The Sun News, 24 golf experts voted two holes, #2 and #13, as part of the "Dream 18," a compilation of the best 18 holes on the beach.  

Friday Family Dinner

At Embassy Suites Palmettos Pavilion– this pavilion offers a tropical surrounding of palm trees and ocean breezes.  Whether fully or partially enclosed, this climate-controlled pavilion will ensure a successful event, rain or shine!

Sunday Brunch

To paraphrase the words of William Shakespeare, “So long! Parting is such sweet sorrow.”  This brunch holds significance for everyone attending the meeting – individuals and families.  It’s your last chance to spend time with a new acquaintance, a chance for kids to play with their friends (expending some of their energy before departing on a road trip) or just bid a fond farewell to those you know you will see again soon.  You can also view the many pictures taken throughout the conference.  Don’t leave without stopping to say goodbye!
