There are few things as relaxing as a golfing vacation. Just imagine the tranquility that accompanies a golfing vacation-you wake up hours past your normal hour and treat yourself to a free continental breakfast. Then you stroll down to the golf course of your choice and stroke the day away until evening time where you can enjoy a swimming pool dip right before bed. Golf is a relaxing sport to begin with, so a full golfing vacation is this far removed from heaven! Where are some of the best locations for golfing in the U.S. and worldwide?
First of all, practically every destination city has a golf course resort nearby. Major state cities such as Los Angeles and San Diego, California, as well as Orlando, Florida and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina put a large emphasis on golf vacations to as to appeal to the golf sporting vacationers. Las Vegas is another popular vacation city that offers dozens of golf courses in addition to the nightlife, gambling and entertainment options. Some of the most popular golf resorts in Vegas include Bali Hai Golf Club, the Oasis Golf Club and the Palms Golf Club.
However, there are other locations across the country and beyond that cater to golf-loving vacationers. Phoenix, Arizona is well known for its golf resorts and offers over 100 different courses to choose from. Some of the top golfing resorts include the Legacy Golf Resort, the Phantom Horse, and the Wildfire and Club West. In addition to great golfing action, Arizona also offers gorgeous scenery, a nearby location to national parks and affordable pricing.
Colorado Springs also has plenty of golfing accommodations, as well as a high altitude, which adds 10% to the distance a ball travels. However, you don't have to limit yourself to the United States for the best golfing action. The highest concentration per square mile for golfing anywhere in the world is in Bermuda. These courses also offer some of the highest class of course design the world over. Canada also offers some challenging games, whether you are traveling to British Columbia, Alberta or Ontario.
Finally, there's Scotland. In case you didn't know, the Scots are the ones responsible for bringing golfing to the world (along with good whiskey) as much of the modern game descended from Scotland's own interpretations of "Gowf" in the 15th century. Some notable locations include St. Andrews, the Kingdom of Fife, the East Lothian region and the Highlands.
