Kauai Golf
As one of the oldest islands in Hawaii, Kauai is home to some of the best golf courses around. In fact, the island has as many as 10 different courses to choose from making it a perfect place to spend your next golf vacation.
In particular, the Makai Golf Club at the St. Regis Princeville Resort, opened in 1971 and has recently been renovated to include such upgrades as seashore paspalum turf grass on all of the tees, fairways and greens. In addition to providing remarkable views, this course is great for golfers of all skill levels which makes it an ideal vacation spot if you’re traveling with friends or family members of all different ages.
Shadow Creek
When you hear about Las Vegas, you generally don’t hear about how great the golf is, but there are actually some great courses to check out. One in particular, Shadow Creek, was designed by Tom Fazio and may be one of Vegas’ best-kept secrets.
As far as golf vacations are concerned this one offers the complete VIP treatment. As a guest at MGM Resorts, you will be taken to and from the course in your own private limousine. Additionally, once you arrive at the course, your personal caddie will not only greet you and guide you throughout the course but will also create an unforgettable experience.
Biltmore Golf Club
With over 200 courses to choose from, it can be tough deciding which course to play on your next golf vacation to Arizona. One of our favorites, the Arizona Biltmore Golf Club, gives you the option of playing either the Adobe course or the Links course. As traditional courses, both are par 71, two storied, and provide breathtaking views of the Squaw Peak Mountain Range as well as the downtown Phoenix skyline. With US Presidents, Foreign Leaders, and Hollywood celebrities all visiting the Biltmore, it’s definitely worth a trip.
Hilton Head
With over 20 golf courses to choose from, the Hilton Head in South Carolina is another great option for your next golf vacation. Specifically, the Bear Creek course at Hilton Head has the vacation mindset ready to go before you even get there. With no tee-times or reservations, you can enjoy this course whenever you decide to stop by. Additionally, this course was designed by Rees Jones and is known for its bunkered fairways that seamlessly weave through the pines and lagoons of the Hilton Head Plantation.
Pebble Beach
Since opening in 1919, Pebble Beach continues to be one of the greatest golf courses to vacation to. With rugged coastlines and cliff side fairways, Pebble Beach is an adventure waiting to be played. Back in 2010, Pebble Beach hosted the US Open and is already announcing that it will be hosting it again in 2019 and it’s no wonder since this course was designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant.
