The Gulf Coast region of Alabama, Louisiana and the state we learned to
spell phonetically—M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I—may not be the first place
you’d think of for a golfing trip, but the more you learn about what it
has to offer, the more you realize what a viable choice it is. The
Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Alabama, the Audubon Golf Trail in
Louisiana and the Golf Coast Golf Trail in Mississippi are wonderful
golfing venues that feature courses designed by some of the greatest
architects and players in the game.

 The home of golf in the United States is a hotly debated topic, but
Charleston can actually lay claim to the nation’s first golf course and
golf club—Harleston Green and the South Carolina Golf Club, both of
which were established in 1786. And while Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head
may be the main golfing destinations in the Palmetto State, Charleston
also possesses its own rich golfing culture.

 Golf in Hawaii is a study in variance. At the same time, the island
game is littered with awe-inspiring topography—replete with the
expected natural beauty—and not-so-subtle dangers from tee to green.
Perhaps that’s what makes playing golf on Hawaiian courses so
intriguing: You don’t mind the occasional double bogey when you’re in
paradise.

 Golf’s newest darling—as far as course developments are concerned—is
the state of New Mexico. As Indian gaming continues to explode in

 The lure of the Caribbean islands is strong. Prospects of warm weather
and a needed respite from the perils of modern living make the region a
fine escape. Pair that with a geography exceedingly tropical and
seemingly remote, despite the fact that the islands can be reached via
a twin prop from most Eastern cities, and you have a bona fide vacation
winner. Now, throw in golf far better than most people have ever
imagined, and you have the incentive to start packing immediately,
especially if your itinerary includes Jamaica, Puerto Rico and the
Bahamas.

 The mountain West—a rugged region that stretches from the Colorado
Rockies to the Sierra Nevada of Northern California, Utah and into
Idaho—is unquestionably the most diverse terrain in the country. You
can do it all here when it comes to outdoor recreation: ski, hike,
swim, water sports, fishing—you name it. Within the last decade, golf
has surged in popularity, as many destinations have melded into hybrid
resorts that serve as ski havens in the winter and golf hot spots in
the summer.

 Like the mists that blow in off the Irish Sea, a sense of mystery tends
to shroud golf in Northern Ireland. Indeed, the country itself
possesses an aura of the unknown, particularly with Americans. It’s not
as if the courses here are completely unknown, it’s just that they tend
to be overshadowed by their more famous neighbors in Scotland, The
Republic of Ireland and England. However, Northern Ireland has not only
a rich golf history of its own, but also a collection of links layouts
that stand up to any of its more heralded British Isles’ mates. Two, in
particular, are capable of challenging for the title of best links
course in the world: Royal County Down and Royal Portrush.
