We've all done it: Get in a round of golf during a business trip, whether before, between or after meetings and appointments. After all, you need some sort of reward for closing the deal or surviving another convention.

The good news is that no matter where work takes you next, there is a convenient place to play some golf. So the next time you visit one of the 20 biggest metropolitan areas in the country, stay at one of the resorts on the following pages instead of a downtown hotel.

You'll still be in easy reach of your meeting, yet have a great golf course right outside. For those cities without a golf resort nearby, we have recommended top courses a short distance away.
