Presenting championship-level golf courses throughout
the world to our readers is not a task taken lightly
at LuxéMont. We know that our readers are luxury
purists and demand only the best in all pursuits and
endeavors
The majority of recommended places are golf facilities,
meaning that there are several great, challenging
championship golf courses on the premises such as
the Carnoustie Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa on the
eastern coast of Scotland. The luxury resort's Championship
Course will host the 2007 British Open. It is conveniently
located near 200 (Yes, 200!) neighboring golf courses,
including the vaulted Old Course at St. Andrews and
Kingsbarn. The Greenbrier of Sulphur Springs, West
Virginia, is a national landmark with its first course
dating back to 1913, while the Broadmoor, which is
located in Colorado, Springs, Colorado, hosted the
1998 PGA Cup Matches and has a course with the highest
elevation in the U.S. at 6,800 feet.
There are seven participating luxury resorts surrounding
Vista Vallerta, which is located in Puerto Vallerta,
Mexico. The courses, which were designed by Jack Nicklaus
and Tom Weiskopf, feature grassy hillsides, dense
forests of palm trees and natural creeks and arroyos.
The Barefoot Resort & Golf is located next to
the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway of South Carolina's
North Myrtle Beach. It has four championship-level
courses that are highly ranked by Zagat.com. Another
great golf complex in South Carolina is the Sea Pines
Resort, having recently hosted the PGA's Verizon Heritage.
And for the extremist or purist at heart, there is
the rugged Bandon Dunes, which is above the Pacific
Ocean along the coastal forest of Bandon, Oregon.
Its courses rival those of 15th century Scotland.
The Midwest of the U.S. is represented well by the
Treetops Resort. Its five-championship level courses
rank among the top three golf facilities of the U.S.
A second Midwest recommendation is Destination Kohler
of Wisconsin. It has two separate golfing facilities
with four championship courses and a luxury resort.
No list of great golf facilities is complete without
including the site of the 2005 U.S. Open Championship,
Pinehurst. However, it is somewhat odd that this legendary
site did not even have a golf course on it originally.
In 1895 it was a luxury health resort. The landscape
architect, Frederick Law Olmsted, also designed the
landscape of NYC's Central Park.
Obviously there are some other courses that also
could have made our list, but keeping the list at
10 only required discipline. It also serves as an
indicator that more great golf facilities will be
conveyed in future reports. All of our recommendations
provide luxury accommodations and a wide assortment
of amenities. Many of these facilities have more than
one luxury hotel on their sprawling resorts. Countless
package deals are available for both vacationers and
business travelers. A personal golf event or tournament
at most facilities can easily be arranged as well
as social or business events.
