Looks like there is beginning to be a real competition developing between North Carolina's Sandhills region and South Carolina's Sandhills region. Using a circle with a radius of say 25 miles, North Carolina's SH has or will have : #2, #10, #11, Tobacco Road, and Dormie as its starting collection with bench consisting of Southern Pines, Mid Pines, Pine Needles, CCNC (DW and Card), and Forest Creek (N & S).
South Carolina is looking like a starting team of Tree Farm, Old Barnwell, 21 Club (2 courses), ANGC, and Palmetto, and have a bench that would include Augusta CC, Sage Valley, and Aiken Muni.
In terms of golf history, SC has a long way to go to catch up IMO...but the architecture race is for sure heating up.
Additions or subtractions to these two teams are of course welcome as would some suggested shuffling of the "starting lineups"
