The long and short of it, YES, The Cradle Course is a must play for all golfers venturing to Pinehurst Resort. In fact, it's also a great spot for golfers heading to the area yet not staying at the resort itself - tee times can be booked 24-hours in advance for non-guests. Although I have not personally played it, the pictures tell me everything I need to know, and quite honestly, I can't think of a better way of finishing off a day of golf with your buddies than having some fun on the short course.

I often get this question . . . "We're planning a buddies golf vacation and never been to Scottsdale - Why should we go there over other places?" A great question, and one that I enjoy answering and talking about. I enjoy it simply because I absolutely love playing golf in the Scottsdale-Phoenix area. The region is littered with great golf courses. The downfall, you simple cannot fit them all into one golf vacation!

We are asked all the time what the perfect buddies golf vacation would be for larger groups, and as a result, we have created several - this one in particular being at Pinehurst Resort. Simply put, our Pinehurst Ultimate Buddies golf vacation is a must and will be the talk of your group for years to come.

After having the pleasure of playing Pinehurst No. 2 a couple of weeks ago, albeit a less than stellar round of golf on my part, I have a few simple tips that will make the experience that much better for golfers of any skill level.

Having the pleasure recently of playing several golf courses in the Williamsburg, VA area I would highly recommend a round or two on the Tradition Golf Club at Royal New Kent. It will definitely test every part of your game, as well as bring a whole new level of appreciation for great golf course designs.

It's that time of year again. The freshly-cut grass smell is back, golf greens are being aerated, and your clubs are ready to hit some golf balls. Not only is it that time of year at your local golf course, but it's also that time of year in Scotland.

I was first introduced to North Berwick a few years back on our Scotland golf vacation, and to this day remains one of the most fun I've ever had playing golf. The West Links at North Berwick, and Royal Dornoch Golf Club top my personal favorites list.

Golf courses and resorts in Williamsburg, VA are, although it does not always come to the mind first for golfers, are some of the best golf experiences in the USA. As such, we have created several great Williamsburg golf vacation packages. Here, we will outline and detail three different golf packages, with three considerably different price points.

Anytime a golf course is associated with the design team of Coore & Crenshaw golfers know they are likely in for something very special.

Lately, as it must be that time of year, we have been receiving a handful of requests for North Carolina golf packages, in particular in the Sandhills/Southern Pines area, which is obviously great.

Love is a common February theme (for all you romantics out there) and golf trip junkies, aka golf nuts, golf geeks, golf nerds (take your pick) will fall head over heels with one of the best Arizona golf packages on the planet.

"You're a golf addicted idiot!" Says the wife of a customer of ours, that will remain nameless, but I can say his name does start with a "Jay" . . . I mean "J" . . . Anyway, allow me to get back to teeing this one up before getting to the destination ideas . . . "You're a golf addicted idiot!"
