Top 10 Golf Resorts
The best golf resorts combine championship courses with first class accommodation and dining. A scenic location is another bonus and a bit of pampering goes a long way. Golfers are happy to indulge in their sport all day but their non-golfing companions will need other activities to occupy them.
The Homestead – Hot Springs, Virginia
This is a historic resort with a view of the Appalachian Mountains and it’s particularly lovely in the fall. There are three championship courses and each one has a separate clubhouse. It’s got one of the longest lists of amenities of any resort, including a premier spa, tennis courts, a world class shooting club, outdoor and indoor pool, bowling alley, movie theatre, and access to fly fishing with instruction.

Golf Packages are offered throughout the year and include Early Bird rates.
Bandon Dunes Golf Resort – Bandon, Oregon
The links courses here have been compared to ones in Scotland. They stretch along the southern coast of Oregon, which gets its fair share of wind. The large dunes and pine trees make this a challenging resort and one that keen golfers will savor. Four courses make up the resort, namely Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, and Old Macdonald. After a day doing battle in the bunkers, the accommodation is warm and welcoming, ranging from a single room lodge to 4 bedroom cottages. Bandon Dunes also has bars, restaurants, and a golf clubhouse. There is a convenient shuttle service for guests to use.
Doral Golf Resort and Spa – Miami, Florida
Something for everyone awaits guests at Doral, including five palm-lined, championship 18-hole courses. ‘Blue Monster’ is used on the Pga Tour and is considered very challenging! It’s a Marriott Resort and the amenities include a fitness center, tennis courts, Jacuzzi, saunas, and a jogging trail. Children will enjoy Camp Doral, a club with activities for ages 5 – 12, and the Children’s Pool, whilst parents can relax in the spa or the Blue Lagoon Pool. Accommodation is in rooms and suites in cozy lodges, close to the main clubhouse.

Augusta and Aiken in Golf’s Golden Age (Images of Sports Series) $6.49 The game of golf got its start in the Southeastern United States in 1892 on four holes with sand greens at Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, South Carolina. Within five years, Palmetto had expanded to eighteen holes and the first nine-hole course in neighboring Augusta, Georgia was designed at the Hotel Bon Air. For half a century, the Augusta-Aiken area flourished as the winter destination of choice for the rich, famous, and powerful in America. Presidents Taft, Harding, and Eisenhower vacationed here. Baseball great Ty Cobb bought a home in Augusta’s quaint Summerville neighborhood. It was here that Bobby Jones began the improbable journey towards a Grand Slam, then built his dream golf course. By the turn of the century, winter tourism and grand resort hotels in the Augusta-Aiken area were well established. A favorable winter climate and easy rail access drew vacationers to Highland Park Hotel (1866), Willcox Hotel (1898), and Park in the Pines (1900) in Aiken; Hotel Bon Air (1890) and Partridge Inn (1913) in Augusta; and Hampton Terrace Hotel and Golf Club (1903) in North Augusta. Resorts in Florida and the growth of the air travel industry later coupled to mark the area’s decline in winter tourism, but not before Augusta-Aiken’s place in golf history was secure. In this unique volume, vintage images and accompanying text recall the unfo rgettable legends, the meticulously maintained courses, and all of the grandeur associated with the game. |

Caicos Islands: Providenciales, West Caicos, South Caicos, North Caicos, Pine Cay, East Caicos, Middle Caicos, Ambergris Cay, Parrot Cay $8.69 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Providenciales is an island in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The island has an area of 98 km (38 sq mi) and an approximate population of 15,542, making it the largest island in population and the third largest in area. It is served by the Providenciales International Airport. It is home to the only conch farm in the world. As recently as 1964, Providenciales (usually called Provo) did not have a single wheeled vehicle. Following in the footsteps of Club Med, the island’s first large hotel and casino complex opened in 1990 and touched off a development boom. Provo is now the most tourist-oriented and developed of the Turks and Caicos Islands, boasting many resort hotels and an 18-hole golf course. The island has recently become popular with retirees from around the world, kindling a boom of residential development. Given its recent evolution, the atmosphere is more reminiscent of the Florida Keys than Nassau, with little of the character of other Caribbean isles. The resorts on Providenciales are primarily centered on five mile-long (8 km) Grace Bay, with its brilliant white sand and shimmering turquoise waters. Apart from the beaches, Provo’s charm lies in its rugged hills and ridges, which are carpeted with prickly pear cactus and scrub. The trump card, however, remains the world class diving: miles and miles of coral reefs are temptingly close to shore and the Island is close to a common migration route for the Humpback whale. Provo is also surrounded by uninhabited cays that are easily reached by chartered boat or excursion. Before Provo became a popular tourist destination, there were three small centers of population – Blue Hills, The Bight (on Grace Bay) and Five Cays. Now many houses have been built thoughout the island (predominantly… More: |

Can Life Prevail? – A Radical Approach To The Environmental Crisis $21.31 With the train of civilisation hurtling at ever-increasing speed towards self-destruction, the most pressing question facing humanity in the 21st century is that of the preservation of life. Can Life Prevail?, the latest book by Finnish environmentalist Pentti Linkola, provides a radical yet firmly grounded perspective on the ecological problems threatening both the biosphere and human culture. With essays covering topics as diverse as animal rights, extinction, deforestation, terrorism and overpopulation, Can Life Prevail? for the first time makes the lucid, challenging writing of Linkola available to an English-speaking public.”By decimating its woodlands, Finland has created the grounds for prosperity. We can now thank prosperity for bringing us – among other things – two million cars, millions of glaring, grey-black electronic entertainment boxes, and many unnecessary buildings to cover the green earth. Wealth and surplus money have led to financial gambling and rampant social injustice, whereby ‘the common people’ end up contributing to the construction of golf courses, classy hotels, and holiday resorts, while fattening Swiss bank accounts. Besides, the people of wealthy countries are the most frustrated, unemployed, unhappy, suicidal, sedentary, worthless and aimless people in history. What a miserable exchange.”Kaarlo Pentti Linkola was born in Helsinki in 1932. Having spent most of his life working as a professional fisherman, he now continues to lead a materially simple existence in the countryside. A renowned figure in Finland, since the 1960s Linkola has published numerous books on environmentalism. Today, he is among the foremost exponents of the philosophy of deep ecology. |
