I don't really like to play golf alone, but I know plenty of people who do. If you often travel alone, finding a tee time by yourself or with a group can sometimes be a challenge. The good news is that, as part of GolfNow.com's "Go. Play." program, you can book rounds as a single and get paired…
My Father's Day gift guide last year was dedicated to my own father. Although he had never played golf in his life, he enjoyed reading my blogs and stories, and told me it was the best Father's Day gift he could have asked for. Dad died this past December, and I had told myself (and others) that…
I've been singing the praises of Walters Golf in Las Vegas ever since I got my first taste of Royal Links Golf Club (and its castle-like clubhouse pictured above) in 2011. But don't take my word for it. Travelin' Joe Passov of Golf Magazine is a fan of the three themed courses of Walters Golf a…
I had heard rave reviews of LUMINE Mediterranea Beach & Golf Club so I was excited to finally with the resort this year.

Dye suggested some 7,000 acres of thorny tangled land near La Romana on the country's southern coast. Getting the green light, Dye or…
Pyle & Kenfig, known affectionately to the locals as P&K, was the perfect start to a golf trip focused on true links courses. The road from Porthcawl bisects the golf course, with the front nine on the side of the road furthest from the sea. This nine has more room to play as it trundles up and ove…
I guess Makai Golf Club at the St. Regis Princeville Resort isn't the most under-respected golf course in Hawaii anymore. Three years after an extensive redesign and upgrade of the golf course, Golf Digest has finally named Makai to its 2013-2014 Top 100 Public rankings. I'll have to find a new…
MESQUITE, Nev. -- Plenty of Vegas-bound golfers make a day trip to Mesquite to play the most famous course in town, venerable Wolf Creek. I know; I’ve done it myself, with 11 other equally ill-informed golf buddies. Wolf Creek is certainly epic, but a far better value and a course with nearly th…
