Skins Game
For a grand resort experience where the golf course and spa are within a wedge shot from the front entrance try Cranwell Resort, Spa and Golf Club. Sitting atop a crest in the Berkshire Mountains in western Massachusetts, the imposing brick mansion is an elegant, refined grand dame from the gilded age (circa 1884). Such an imposing hotel might hint to be a tad pretentious. It isn't. From the reservations clerk to the wait staff in the Wyndhurst and Music Room restaurants, they could not be more friendly or helpful. Gotta love that. — read more »

SPECTACULAR HIGH & LOW DESERT GOLF
I never thought I’d be fond of desert golf. Some people say that desert golf is boring…too flat, too many arroyos, too many cacti. I may have agreed until my recent golf trips to Northern New Mexico and Scottsdale where I found courses that were far from boring. — read more »
Can't golf? Go spa!
Things happen in life and even the best of golfers are temporarily sidelined. A routine colonoscopy turned into an emergency repair nightmare that put golf on hold for 6 weeks. Rather than be jealous of the rounds I was missing during the Scottsdale media Classic, I decided to check out the spas. Here are a few recommended choices in Scottsdale if you need to take your mind of golf and heal. — read more »

Rancho Manana
Rancho Manana in Carefree, Arizona, is a course for all occasions. Local golfers can change up the scenery and visitors get the full desert mountain golf experience. As soon as you arrive amidst the cottonwood trees and adobe buildings, it is like going back in time. Standing in the court yard where the carts meet the bags and the golfers, between the pro shop, the snack bar and the restaurant, with the course and mountain ahead, it has an old ranch feel, but not a working ranch; rather the kind of ranch to which the movie stars would retreat. You almost expect to see Ronald Reagan sitting on the hood of a Hudson with his fedora hat on. Peaceful, quiet and relaxing is the best way to describe the setting for this resort course — read more »

Southern Hospitality in Lower Alabama or L.A.
Maybe you’ve been to all the other golf meccas in the United States, or maybe you’re looking to extend your golf season this fall or get a jump on it next spring or maybe the golf buddy trip isn’t working out this year and it’s time for a family vacation. No matter which way you slice it, Gulf Shores will fit the bill nicely. Located along the Gulf of Mexico between Florida’s Panhandle and Mobile Bay is Alabama’s modest 32 mile coastline. The Gulf Shores area maybe be short in distance but more than makes up for it in quality amenities, golf and otherwise. Maybe more importantly, the amenities are served up with a full dose of true Southern Hospitality, not the manufactured kind that was beaten into the help at corporate seminars, but the real and genuine kind that comes from the heart and from true Southern culture. Almost as importantly is the value in the many hospitality and golf offerings. The Gulf Coast of Alabama is a seriously good deal. — read more »
