Golf resorts--it's a specialized niche for a savvy group that knows what it wants. What they want is golf, so the Nicols have devoted pages of attention to yardage and par, green fees, and special course features for hundreds of golf courses from Canada to Costa Rica. But there are other facets to consider as well, because the point here is to take a vacation, a golf vacation, where you get to luxuriate in your scenic vistas, eat your sumptuous meals, and play your 18 holes, too. From Casa De Campo Resort in the Dominican Republic to the Hound Ears Club in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, there are resorts for all sorts, with rustic lodges or posh hotels; full-scale gourmet pampering or low-key environments; all-golf, all-the-time atmospheres; or resorts that offer the works--tennis, fishing, sailing, or skiing--for the spouses who just aren't as intent on golf, perhaps, as you. The important thing is that all types of golf holidays are possible, and the Nicols have done the legwork so all you have to do is browse, choose, and make the reservations.
Product Description
A guide to hundreds of resorts that cater for golfers in the USA, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. It features information about green fees, course profiles, pars, yardage, resident pro information, and warning about hazards - not only the water and sand type, but also the alligators, mosquitoes and bears that may lurk near some links. The Nicols specify their favourite resorts, based on the quality of the course, the lodgings and other facilities. There is also advice on accommodation.

"... the most useful guidebook... a great reference." The Traveling Golfer
The only pre-trip guide you'll need to research golf courses December 8, 1996
Northwest Airlines WorldTraveler Magazine: " Make sure you have a copy on hand. This tome is the only pre-trip guide you'll need to research not only golf courses, but nearby lodging, restaurants, and additional recreation - for after-golf or non-golfing spouses. The book covers more than 600 courses. The authors have rated the top 50, breaking those down into 38 large and 12 small resorts."
