Opening Acts

The 20 best second courses at American golf resorts

Every star needs a supporting actor. Every ace pilot needs a wingman. Every great performer needs an opening act. 

The same is true of great golf resorts. After all, you don't go to a resort to play just one course, no matter how famous or good it is. Sure, Pebble Beach represents a once-in-a-lifetime round. But it would be criminal to spend all that money and travel all that way and not tee it up at Spyglass Hill, which is overshadowed by Pebble but no doubt would command top billing at nearly every other resort in the country. 

Or consider Doral, the host of the WGC-CA Championship, where the undeniable star is the TPC Blue Monster. But the resort has four other layouts, including Great White, a great second course to complement the Blue Monster. 

No matter where you're headed, a great golf resort will offer memorable golf consisting of 36 holes (or more). Here are great one-two combinations at Pebble, Doral and 18 other top resorts around the country.
