 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. |

 Only 12 miles long and five miles wide, Hilton Head is a maritime jewel
off the southernmost coast of South Carolina, about 40 miles northwest
of Savannah, Ga. Remarkably, golf wasn’t introduced to this thickly
forested barrier island until 1956 when the first course, the Ocean
Course, opened. The course is in Sea Pines Resort, a 5,500-acre
residential and recreational development pioneered by Charles Fraser,
son of a timber magnate, who’s heralded as modern Hilton Head’s
founding father. |
