 We know what you’re thinking. And while we’re somewhat guilty of taking
pleasure in riding the Peter Pan and Dumbo rides, the Walt Disney World
mecca is also home to some outstanding golf. There are 99 holes there,
with top-rated golf courses that include the Magnolia and Palm, two
courses that regularly play host to the PGA Tour every year. Say what
you will about the theme parks, Walt Disney World has some awesome golf
courses to boot.

 The common misperception is that all 100+ courses along the Grand
Strand are right on top of each other. Not the case. (It’s not named
the Grand Strand for nothing.) From the southern chunk of North
Carolina to Georgetown County 20 miles south of Myrtle Beach, the Grand
Strand (or as numerologists call it, Hwy. 17) stretches over 60 miles
with golf courses that range from the sublime high-end daily fees to
cheap munis. It seems there’s literally every type (and price range)
available for all kinds of budgets and skill levels.

Make your golf dreams come true

 From the windswept dunes of Lahinch, Ballybunion, Portmarnock, Doonbeg
and Waterville to the spectacular cliffs of Old Head and the rolling
parkland of a former earl’s estate at Adare Manor, Ireland supplies
golf that can’t be found anywhere else. In fact, if you ask most
golfers who’ve vacationed in Scotland and Ireland which place they
prefer, you’ll get a conflicted answer. While Scotland often gets the
nod for pure historical significance, the traveling golfer frequently
gives Ireland the nod for sheer diversity and its dramatic landscape.

 “We Built This City On Rock And Ross.”
Donald Ross’s imprint on golf-course design has been everlasting.
Ross’s love affair with Pinehurst began with his work on the famed No.
2 course at the Pinehurst Resort—a course most experts agree is not
only the finest of Ross’s designs, but also among the best ever
designed in America.

 Want a real party? The PGA Tour comes to The TPC of Scottsdale January
29 through February 4 for the FBR Open—the most attended tour stop in
the country. Along with the best players in the world come huge
galleries, nightly parties, music and opportunities to meet, greet or
watch people as they pass on by. The FBR Open is one of the few
tournaments where cheering is encouraged, as evidenced by the rowdy
par-3 16th hole. It really is the “Greatest Show on Grass.”

The best golf in Palm Springs and LA-LA land

 Like Myrtle Beach and the Phoenix/Scottsdale areas, Palm Springs and
its surrounding desert communities boast more than 100 golf courses.
That list continues to grow. Last year, Escena, a new Nicklaus design,
opened its doors for play. This year, Indian Wells debuts its first of
two redesigns. The pros also head out to the desert for a handful of
events, including the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, Kraft Nabisco
Championship, Samsung World Golf Championship and the annual LG Skins
Game.

Georgia Coast/Hilton Head/Charleston

 The Civil War marks the darkest, most trying period in all of American
history. It all began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate artillery
opened fire on Fort Sumter. The Union army surrendered the fort less
than two days later. Journey by boat into Charleston Harbor and
experience the isolation and vulnerability that those soldiers felt
when hostilities erupted. A bonus of the trip is a wonderful view of
Charleston from the water.

 Turn the corner between the 14th green and 15th tee, and you’ll
understand why you maxed out your Visa to play here. Off to your left
is the world’s largest water hazard, the Pacific Ocean. Don’t get
distracted by the kite surfers hanging hundreds of feet underneath you.
It’s all part of the show.

The Midwest’s finest are as good as it gets

 There’s much more to this quaint island than just the world’s best
fudge. Since no cars are allowed on the island, you must arrive by
ferry or via the 8,614-foot Mackinac Bridge—North America’s longest
suspension bridge that physically connects Michigan’s Upper and Lower
Peninsulas. You can get around the island only by foot, horse carriage
or bicycle. Then there’s the charming, 385-room Grand Hotel with the
world's longest front porch. The 120-year-old, elegant hotel was the
site of the 1979 movie, Somewhere in Time. Be sure to catch the
island’s state park, honored by National Geographic as one of America’s
10 finest.
