For golf nuts (and who playing the game isn’t?), a dreamlike time at golf vacation resorts is more and more a possibility these days. The notion of playing eighteen holes of golf on a world-class course, combined with a stay at an equally world-class hotel is an idea that can’t be topped. And as far as finding any fault with that notion, there just doesn’t seem to be any.

The attractive part of all this is that there are these kinds of resorts popping up all over the world. Even Scotland, the birthplace of golf as we know it, is getting in on the act. But for true high-class resorts and high-class golfing, there aren’t many better places to find them combined than in North America. Some of the resorts are paradises of golf and resort living, for a fact.

For golf enthusiasts wanting to partake of a true PGA experience on courses that frequently host the U.S. open and other top tournaments, then the region around the Monterey Peninsula needs to be explored. Home to world-famous Pebble Beach, the seven Links courses are currently rated as the number one public array of courses in the United States.

The level of class and style at many of the hotels at these golf vacation resorts is also top-notch. For example, North Carolina’s Pinehurst Resort has an array of lodging that’s the equal of any four-star hotels in the country. Plus, it’s the current 2008 winner of the Best Golf Resort accolade from Travel and Leisure magazine. The hotels and the courses meet or exceed every expectation.

Golf vacation resorts as a real getaway is a vacation idea that’s really hard to top. They combine the best of golf and golfing activities with the best of hotel and resort living into one beautiful package. Most avid golf enthusiasts pine for a chance to play on some of the major-league, PGA-certified courses at many of these resorts, and now they finally have an opportunity to do so.
