CordeValle, A Rosewood Resort
San Martin, California
 Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., the Golf Club at CordeValle offers a remarkable variety of play and was recently named 11th best Golf resort in North America by Golf Digest. Located in the heart of California's Wine Country, this scenic 7,169-yard, championship course - accessible only to club members and resort guests - follows gently rolling terrain past flower-filled meadows with dramatic vistas of peaks and canyons. And for those who simply can't get enough, the elegantly furnished Fairway Homes provide breathtaking views of the greens.
Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa
Sonoma, California
 For a vintage golf outing, head to Sonoma Valley Wine Country and the Sonoma Golf Club, the historic course reserved exclusively for members and, luckily for you, guests of the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa. Like a fine California wine, this classic, 7,100-yard course has aged well, with an exciting back nine that proves a formidable yet fair challenger. After a day on the greens, treat yourself to a hydrotherapy spa treatment using the resort's natural hot mineral waters.
Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort & Spa
San Antonio, Texas
 When you feel the need for some down-home Texas hospitality, head to the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and its 27 holes of championship golf. Named among Golf Magazine's "Top 10 Courses You Can Play," the three par-36 courses offer tee placements for every skill level. Zip across the greens on GPS-equipped golf carts, which offer tips at each hole and allows you communicate with the pro shop to order lunch or request a ranger. Cocktails at Charlie's Long Bar await you back at the ranchhouse-style resort.
La Quinta Resort & Club
La Quinta, California
 To play the best holes in the American West, make your way to the prestigious La Quinta Resort & Club. You'll likely run into a few pros, since La Quinta is home to the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, the PGA Grand Slam and other major tournaments. The five spectacular courses - including the thrilling Stadium Course and the Mountain Course, which is literally carved into the Santa Rosa Mountains - bear signatures from the likes of Dye, Nicklaus and Norman. Guests enjoy privileges at all five courses, along with charming casita accommodations.
The Greenbrier
White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia
 Walk in the footsteps of legends at one of the world's great golf destinations. The Greenbrier's three championship golf courses are set like emerald jewels against the lush backdrop of the alluring Alleghenies in West Virginia. Among the resort's myriad recreational activities, guests find three championship golf courses, including the historic Old White Course, opened in 1913. Plan your visit for two great golf events in 2007.
Casa de Campo
La Romana, Dominican Republic
 Take a bite out of Teeth of the Dog, the Pete Dye-designed course ranked number one in the Caribbean by Golf Magazine. Get a taste of devilish doglegs, elevated greens and other obstacles on this 7,363-yard course, just one of three waiting for you at Casa de Campo, which touts itself as the "Caribbean's Most Complete Resort." That description is certainly true for golfers, who can play two other Dye courses: the intimidating Dye Fore and the Links.
Half Moon Golf Resort
Montego Bay, Jamaica
 Golfers thank their lucky stars to play the renowned Half Moon Golf Course. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., and recently updated by his long-time protégé, Roger Rulewich, the course's length (7,115 yards) defies the game's best, as do the greenside bunkers and constant breeze. In fact, nine holes at Half Moon play directly into the wind, requiring careful club selection (bringing a caddy may be your wisest move). From the 18th, grab some gourmet Jamaican fare at the resort's elegant Sugar Mill Restaurant, which overlooks the fairways.
The Westin Turnberry Resort, Scotland
Ayrshire, United Kingdom
 Turnberry's acclaimed Ailsa course is virtually synonymous with the Open Championship: Tom Watson, Greg Norman and Nick Price all won golf's greatest prize here. The scenic course is relished for its namesake Craig, craggy Arran peaks, picture-postcard lighthouse and trademark ninth - with a remote tee set on a rocky premonitory along the sea's edge, it makes for cliff-hanging swings. Golfers also live the links on the exhilarating Kintyre and more-friendly Arran courses.
