Top 80 Golf Resorts
The play's the thing at any resort, especially if you ask golfers. We did. In our Fourteenth Readers' Choice Survey, Thousands of you elected the best hotels and courses from Hawaii to Florida
Bring your camera. You may find yourself teeing up after Phil Mickelson or Lucas Glover at one of these top golf resorts, though you're even more likely to get a glimpse of, say, Samuel L. Jackson's stroke (6.9 handicap) or Bill Murray's (7.2). This year's 80 winners, after all, were chosen by resort golfers, not pros—though all zealous players appreciate superb courses as well as superb hotels.
The Top 80 have both, in spades. They include Pebble Beach, the home of this month's U.S. Open, and Whistling Straits at the American Club in Wisconsin, home of the PGA Championship in August. The range of top resorts is so broad that it's divided into eight regions, ranging from Mexico to Bermuda, Maine to Mississippi to Nevada, and includes four states that merit their own lists: Arizona, California, Florida, and Hawaii, which has this year's number one golf resort—the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea. Not surprisingly, it's also a Condé Nast Traveler Gold List property.
Welcome to the resort golfer's Elysian Fields.
