Loews Ventana Canyon Resort
When you think of Arizona and golf, you usually think of Phoenix/Scottsdale. Tucson typically gets overlooked, which is a shame since there are a number of fine resorts there, including The Westin La Paloma and Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain. Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the Loews Ventana Canyon is another of Tucson’s finest and definitely worth considering for your next golf trip. The stay is very good, but the play is even better.

Stay and Play Golf in Colonial Williamsburg
Congress should pass a law that every American school child—and probably most adults, as well—visit Colonial Williamsburg. The capital of the Virginia Colony, restored with stunning accuracy to how it was just before the Revolution, is a living, breathing museum bursting with the latest technology circa 1770. Tinsmiths, scullery maids, apothecaries, peruke makers, printers, tavern keepers, and politicians—loyalists as well as rebels—do their thing exactly as it was done some 250 years ago in the Tidewater region of southeastern Virginia, a few hours south of what is now but wasn’t yet then the nation’s capital.
An Epic South African Golf Trip
After a nine-hour night flight and a 90-minute drive, I unpacked at my hotel and enjoyed a restorative breakfast. Returning to my room on the fifth floor with a balcony overlooking an enormous swimming pool, I was about to decide what to do with my day when I sensed that something about the room had changed.
The Ultimate Golf Trip to New Zealand
I leaned my clubs against a rail and entered a modest clubhouse, noticing to my right a selection of golf shirts, shoes and caps randomly arrayed. Because this was a New Zealand golf facility (Kaitaia Golf Club) tucked in an obscure New Zealand town (Ahipara), I wondered if things might be other than as they seem.
A Golf Vacation in Asheville
From this vow rose the plaintive title of Wolfe’s final novel, You Can’t Go Home Again, published two years after the author’s death in 1940. Reflections on Wolfe and on my own Carolina boyhood in Greensboro came sweeping back last autumn as I made an impulsive overnight drive toward Asheville—where I had not set foot in nearly 40 years—to try and wring some solace from the last days of the golf season up in the Ridge.

The Top 5 Things We Love About Fall Golf
From the Northeast to the Southeast to selected regions of the Midwest and Northwest, autumn, which robes deciduous trees and shrubs in a riotous explosion of color, is the exclamation point to the golf season. On a crisp fall day with nature’s splendor on full display, golfers can experience one of those “happy-to-be-alive” moments. Foliage. […]
