The Trips You Plan Once and Remember Forever

Pacific NW · Late Spring through Fall

Five world-top links courses on a remote stretch of Oregon coast, all walking-only, all on the same dunescape. It is the closest thing America has to a links pilgrimage — caddies, gorse, wind off the Pacific, and not a cart path in sight.

California · Spring & Fall

Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, and Spanish Bay strung along 17-Mile Drive — the most photographed coastline in golf. This is the bucket-list capital of the American game, where every cliffside par-3 has hosted history.

Southeast · Spring & Fall

The Cradle of American Golf and a permanent U.S. Open site, with No. 2's diabolical turtle-back greens at its heart. A whole village of golf in the Carolina sandhills, designed to be walked and remembered.

Midwest · Summer & Early Fall

Wisconsin's answer to Bandon — sand-dune golf rising out of central Wisconsin pine barrens, with The Lido's painstaking recreation of golf's lost masterpiece. Walking-first, big-sky, and improbably remote.

Southeast · Fall through Spring

Three top-100 courses rising out of a reclaimed Florida phosphate quarry — dunes, lakes, and elevation that has no business existing in the Florida flatlands. Red, Blue, and Black, by three of the era's best design teams.

Midwest · Summer & Early Fall

Pete Dye's faux-Irish links on the bluffs of Lake Michigan — a Ryder Cup battleground with a thousand bunkers and roaming sheep. Paired with Blackwolf Run, it makes Kohler one of the most decorated golf addresses in America.

Southeast · Spring & Fall

Pete Dye's Ocean Course — the most exposed, wind-battered stretch in American major-championship golf, site of the War by the Shore and a record-setting PGA. Ten holes hard against the Atlantic on a low-country barrier island.

Southeast · Spring & Fall

Three courses of elite resort golf on the Georgia coast, anchored by the Seaside Course that closes the PGA Tour's RSM Classic. A Forbes five-star address where tour pros keep second homes and the live oaks drip with Spanish moss.

Southwest · Fall through Spring

Desert golf royalty wrapped around Old Town nightlife — the TPC Stadium Course's famous 16th, target golf through the Sonoran saguaros, and more elite tracks per square mile than anywhere out West.

International · Late Spring through Early Fall

The Home of Golf — the Old Course's shared fairways, the Swilcan Bridge, and the Road Hole, all on the Fife coast where the game was born. Add Kingsbarns and Carnoustie and you have the original pilgrimage.

International · Late Spring through Early Fall

Ballybunion, Lahinch, Tralee, Waterville, and Old Head — a links cathedral strung along the wild Atlantic coast of County Kerry and Clare. Towering dunes, blind shots, and the kind of weather that makes the stories better.

International · Late Spring through Early Fall

Royal County Down — frequently ranked the best course on earth — beneath the Mountains of Mourne, paired with Open host Royal Portrush. Northern Ireland packs two of the world's top links into a single short coastline.

International · Fall through Spring

Desert-meets-Pacific golf at the tip of Baja — Diamante's Dunes Course, Quivira's cliffside drama, and Tiger's first design. Resort luxury, ocean holes, and reliable sun a short hop from the U.S.

Pacific NW · Summer & Early Fall

Play the 2015 U.S. Open links on the shores of Puget Sound — a municipal course carved from an old gravel quarry, walking-only, with the Olympic Mountains across the water. Major-championship golf without the country-club gate.

Pacific NW · Summer & Early Fall

The top-ranked links destination hiding in Washington's high desert — David McLay Kidd's wide, joyful Sands Course plus the new Scarecrow and a knockout short course. Big fairways, bigger views, and a remote-resort calm.

Northeast · Late Spring through Fall

America's grandest resort — Sam Snead's home club, the Old White TPC's template holes, casino, bourbon, and a bunker that once hid Congress. Allegheny mountain golf wrapped in two centuries of history.

Midwest · Late Spring & Fall

A top-25 sandhills classic improbably tucked into the Kansas prairie — Perry Maxwell's masterpiece, with yucca, cottonwoods, and dunes that feel transplanted from the British coast. The ultimate hidden-in-plain-sight pilgrimage.

Midwest · Late Spring through Fall

Historic resort golf in the Indiana hills — Pete Dye's hilltop modern monster and a restored 1917 Donald Ross classic, plus a casino and grand old hotels. Two architectural eras on one ridgeline.

Mountain West · Summer & Early Fall

Resort mountain golf under the biggest sky you've ever seen — high-elevation fairways framed by Lone Peak, where the ball flies forever and elk wander the rough. Montana's marquee golf-and-adventure base camp.

Northeast · Late Spring through Fall

The people's major championship venue — Bethpage Black's famous warning sign, two U.S. Opens, a PGA, and the 2025 Ryder Cup, all on a New York state course you can sleep in your car to play. The toughest public test in America.

Midwest · Summer & Early Fall

Walk the 2017 U.S. Open links 35 minutes from Milwaukee — vast, treeless, glacial terrain that played to a record-tying 16 under and humbles the rest of the time. Caddie golf on a championship canvas.

California · Fall through Spring

Sunshine, mid-century cool, and wall-to-wall desert golf in the Coachella Valley — historic layouts beneath the San Jacinto mountains, with pools and date-shake stops between rounds. The original winter-golf escape.

Southeast · Spring & Fall

Six championship courses ringing a stunning Georgia lake, anchored by Nicklaus's Great Waters along the shoreline. A Ritz-Carlton, boats between rounds, and more elite golf than most groups can finish in a week.

International · Late Spring through Early Fall

East Lothian's links coast just outside Edinburgh — Open host Muirfield, the quirky genius of North Berwick, and the modern Renaissance Club, all within a few miles. The densest stretch of great links outside St Andrews.
