Based on my experience with the golf resorts around the world, I really feel that they are an ideal place to get your kicks from sports, travel and tourism in a string. These resorts come up with a mix of comfortable accommodation and facilities for golf celebrities, golf lovers and non-golfers as well. Here are some of the best golf resorts around the world:
Equipped with probably the widest range of facilities, the Pinehurst Resort and Country Club is one of the best golf resorts in entire America. Located in North Carolina, it sprawls over a large area. The resort has 310 rooms and you would wonder at its incredible accommodating capacity.
Among those who favor the Boulders Resort and Golden Door Spa for its golf course in Arizona, I am one. The resort owes Golf Magazine’s gold medal award to its two 18-hole championship golf courses. An hour’s drive from the airport, the resort comes up with tennis, swimming pool and hot air balloon riding arrangements for non-golfer visitors.
The Turtle Point Golf Resort is the most attractive thing in Kiawah Island Resort in South California. With inns, villas and private homes, the resort boasts of massive accommodation at a stone’s throw distance from the stunning sea beach. A 21-mile drive from the Charleston Airport, the resort offers exceptional conferencing facilities and an excellent golf course.
The serene and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean overlooking the balconies of Four Seasons Resort at Scottsdale, Arizona will capture your imagination. The chief attraction of the resort is the Arnold Palmer signature golf course. Both Golf Digest Magazine and Golf Magazine have considered it the best in the category of new golf courses. Non-golf visitors to the resort are entertained with indoor and outdoor activities.
Golf lovers like me will surely benefit from their visit to Pebble Beach Resorts in California. You may choose between the lodge at Pebble Beach and the inn at Casa Palmero or Spanish Bay. You can reap special booking privileges as a golf lover. A collection of archival photographic prints is what I think the most fetching feature of the resort.
Sawgrass Marriott Resort and Spa lying on the quaint Ponte Vedra Beach was my delight as a visitor to Florida. With a rich harmony of sunshine, lavish background, warm hospitality, comfortable accommodation, beaches and golf courses, the resort enjoys a unique setting. A relish of the delicacies at seven restaurants still sticks to my tongue.
Standing on the Pacific Ocean shores, Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is located in Oregon. Two golf courses by the seaside are what every golfer like me will surely find attractive about the resort. Embodying the spirit of golf in its being, the resort stuns everyone with the beauty and purity of nature.
On a visit to Hawaii, I enjoyed my stay at the Kapalua Bay Hotel & Ocean Villas located at Lahaina in Maui. With 90 villas and 194 guest rooms, the hotel offers both golf course and bay views. There are three golf courses to entice most golf lovers from across the globe. A 30-minute ride from the Maui Airport, the resort entertains non-golfers with a huge range of beach activities.
