Play the oldest course in the world: Musselburgh Links, The Old Golf Course in East Lothian, Scotland
Musselburgh Links, The Old Golf Course in East Lothian, Scotland is touted as the oldest golf course in the world. Its 2,954 yards are no match for modern golf balls and titanium drivers, but imagine playing this par-34 layout with a feathery ball and a brassie club.

Get inside the gates at The Dye Club at Barefoot Resort & Golf in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
The Dye Club is the most exclusive of the four Barefoot Resort & Golf courses that opened simultaneously in 2000 in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Playing The Dye Club, designed by Pete Dye, costs more than Barefoot's other resort courses. That exclusivity justifies the splurge. The Dye Club looks like a second cousin to both The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island and the Dye Course at French Lick Resort in Indiana.

You'll love the Love Course at the Barefoot Resort & Golf in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
The 7,047-yard Love Course remains arguably the most popular of the four premier designs at the Barefoot Resort & Golf that opened simultaneously in 2000. It's cheaper than playing the Dye Course and prettier than the Norman Course. The Fazio Course might be its equal -- or even a shade better -- but the Davis Love III design counters with some interesting nuances and maximum playability.

Pretty in pictures: The player-friendly Kai golf course at Kaanapali Resort on Maui
The Kai Course might be the easier of the two layouts at the Kaanapali Resort on Maui. But it's by no means the less popular. The Kai might seem short at 6,388 yards, but because some of the holes play uphill, into the wind or both, there is plenty of challenge. It's also replete with great views, both of the West Maui Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.

Closer look: Plantation Course at Kapalua Resort on Maui, Hawaii can't be overstated
The par-73, 7,411-yard Plantation Course, the jewel of Kapalua located on Maui's northwest shore, is one big golf course. Big slopes, big holes and really big views make the Plantation one of the most visually stunning golf courses in the world. The change of elevation is akin to some of the biggest mountain courses in the world, with spectacular Pacific Ocean views throughout the course.

A year in pictures: A look back at the best golf photos of 2012
The job of a golf travel writer certainly has its perks, and 2012 was no exception. As has been the case for the past five years, I got to travel coast to coast, north and south and even across the border and the Pacific, covering most areas of the United States and a little beyond. What follows are 12 of my favorite pictures from the public or resort courses I visited this year.

Find pleasure in the desert on the Sun Mountain Course at Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort
The Sun Mountain Course has been branded the easiest of the three Pete Dye courses at the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort. That's like saying a 25-kilometer run is easier than a marathon. It may be easiest, but it's not a walk in the park.

Tour the tropics at stunning Bali Hai Golf Club on the Las Vegas Strip
At most courses, the aiming point off the tee is to the left of a certain bunker or toward a tree off in the distance. At Bali Hai Golf Club, the points of reference are wildly more dramatic, like the giant "M" atop the golden Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino or the tip of the Luxor pyramid. What makes Bali Hai great is its ideal location on the Las Vegas Strip. The backdrop looks amazing, and the convenience of getting here trumps most rival golf courses in Sin City.
