Four Seasons
Great Exuma at Emerald Bay 
It’s hard to go wrong with brilliant blue Bahamian
waters, ivory sand beaches and Four Seasons comforts. Add a Greg Norman golf
course with six holes on a rocky peninsula overlooking Emerald Bay and you’ll
know you’ll return.
Hualalai 
Sitting soft on the Kona-Kohala coast of the
Big Island, this hotel is one of the world’s most gracious and rejuvenating
resorts. The Nicklaus course is solid, but beware when the trade winds are blowing.
Lanai, Lodge at Koele 
The Lodge has the appearance and feel
of a grand Victorian-era manor from the South Pacific of your dreams. Its
tranquil gardens and 18-hole bentgrass putting course are as perfect as the cool mountaintop weather.
Lanai, Manele Bay 
A great beach, fantastic
snorkeling trips, dolphins that swim with guests, and Hawaii’s most memorable
golf course make Manele Bay one of the state’s greatest secrets.
Punta Mita,
Mexico 
Half an hour from historic Puerto Vallarta, Punta Mita
practically embraces the white sands and blue Pacific waters that surround it.
The island green gets all the hype, but the rest of Jack’s work on the
course is superb.
Ritz-Carlton
Kapalua 
Maui’s best golf resort sits on a
hillside looking out on Kapalua Bay and the island of Molokai. Reopening
in January 2008 after a $110 million renovation, Kapalua is likely to be the
Ritziest Ritz of them all.
Lake Las Vegas 
Seventeen miles from the
Vegas Strip, the resort is practically built on Lake Las Vegas. Adjacent to
the hotel, the courses by Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf are two of Nevada’s
finest. It’s Vegas for grown-ups.
Grand Cayman 
Located right on
Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman is a paradise. Norman’s course may be nine holes,
but it will likely take more than one visit to get your fill, especially with
some of the best snorkeling and diving anywhere.
Half Moon Bay 
A short
drive south of San Francisco, Half Moon Bay has the look and feel of a great
Scottish golf resort. The links-style, Arthur Hills-designed Ocean course offers
ocean views from every hole, and a splendid 18th winds along the high bluff.
Reynolds Plantation 
A boutique, less formal Ritz, the hotel boasts 81
holes on the shores of Georgia’s Lake Oconee. With the serene lake and tall
pines, there’s a tranquil feeling about this place.
