The majority of recommended places are golf facilities, meaning that there are several great, challenging championship golf courses on the premises such as the Carnoustie Hotel, Golf Resort and Spa on the eastern coast of Scotland. The luxury resort's Championship Course will host the 2007 British Open. It is conveniently located near 200 (Yes, 200!) neighboring golf courses, including the vaulted Old Course at St. Andrews and Kingsbarn. The Greenbrier of Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, is a national landmark with its first course dating back to 1913, while the Broadmoor, which is located in Colorado, Springs, Colorado, hosted the 1998 PGA Cup Matches and has a course with the highest elevation in the U.S. at 6,800 feet.
There are seven participating luxury resorts surrounding Vista Vallerta, which is located in Puerto Vallerta, Mexico. The courses, which were designed by Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf, feature grassy hillsides, dense forests of palm trees and natural creeks and arroyos. The Barefoot Resort and Golf is located next to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway of South Carolina's North Myrtle Beach. It has four championship-level courses that are highly ranked by Zagat.com. Another great golf complex in South Carolina is the Sea Pines Resort, having recently hosted the PGA's Verizon Heritage. And for the extremist or purist at heart, there is the rugged Bandon Dunes, which is above the Pacific Ocean along the coastal forest of Bandon, Oregon. Its courses rival those of 15th century Scotland.
The Midwest of the U.S. is represented well by the Treetops Resort. Its five-championship level courses rank among the top three golf facilities of the U.S. A second Midwest recommendation is Destination Kohler of Wisconsin. It has two separate golfing facilities with four championship courses and a luxury resort. No list of great golf facilities is complete without including the site of the 2005 U.S. Open Championship, Pinehurst. However, it is somewhat odd that this legendary site did not even have a golf course on it originally. In 1895 it was a luxury health resort. The landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted, also designed the landscape of NYC's Central Park.
Obviously there are some other courses that also could have made our list, but keeping the list at 10 only required discipline. It also serves as an indicator that more great golf facilities will be conveyed in future reports. All of our recommendations provide luxury accommodations and a wide assortment of amenities. Many of these facilities have more than one luxury hotel on their sprawling resorts. Countless package deals are available for both vacationers and business travelers. A personal golf event or tournament at most facilities can easily be arranged as well as social or business events.

Over The Top Golf
Golf is a sport that comes with an almost insane amount of accessories. Everything from the golf clubs to the golf cart is covered, and you will have countless options for personalizing everything. The accessories range from completely useless to very clever and valuable. So you will have to decide whether you want to spend your money on a gimmicky little item or whether you want something that will really come in handy out on the golf course. Here I will name some of the things that no golfers should go without. If you are feeling the urge to buy golf accessories, you should start with these before moving on to anything else.
The right apparel can make a golf game much easier on you both physically and mentally. Golf shoes are meant to be very comfortable when walking across large stretches of grass. These are much better to wear while golfing than just your regular dress shoes (unless you enjoy having blisters for the next few weeks). Sunglasses are another very important part of any golfer's outfit. They will allow you to see the course better, as well as protect your eyes from the harmful rays put out by the sun. Other apparel is useful, but not quite as necessary. For example, golf shirts, pants, and hats are widely available but they aren't too much different than what you might normally wear.
Another good accessory to have is something to help you carry all of your smaller items along with your golf clubs. Usually this will be integrated directly into a golf club bag, but otherwise you will definitely need something to take its place. These smaller items include extra golf balls and tees mostly, along with any other things that you find yourself frequently using during a golf game. There are many functional ways that you can carry these things, but usually a simple pouch will do. You can shove it into your golf club bag, or just leave it under the seat in the golf cart until you need it.
Finally, you will most likely want to accessorize your golf clubs to some extent. You will certainly want to give them a good home inside of a deluxe golf club bag, but you may want to make modifications on the actual clubs themselves. You can replace the grips at the tops of the clubs with something that is more suited towards your style, or simply to something that give you a better grip on the club as it was meant to do. You can avoid having it slip out of your hands, since this is quite an embarrassing turn of events if it happens to you.
All of these accessories can be easily bought at your local golf club store, but you may not have much of a selection when visiting these stores. It is a good idea to look on the internet for what you want, and see what the internet has to offer. There are many web sites selling golf accessories, and throughout them you are sure to find accessories that meet the very specific details that you have in mind. Just keep your search going until you find something that you are satisfied with, and you will be glad that you persevered in the matter.
