King's North at Myrtle Beach National: New greens, but still has plenty of bite

King's North, the signature of the three designs at Myrtle Beach National, has long been considered one of the Grand Strand's best golf courses. The biggest challenge over the past 25 years has been the greens, but King's North reopened in September with new ones. Mike Bailey has more from South Carolina's Lowcountry.

Muskoka delivers the best of summer on its golf courses and lakes north of Toronto

Muskoka, the cottage country destination two hours north of Toronto, is home to 1,600 lakes -- big and small -- and, most important to golfers, some of the best golf courses in Canada.

The pursuit of linksy-ness: Royal Links Golf Club delivers an alternative to the Las Vegas desert

Royal Links starts with 18 holes handpicked from the British Open rota and carries over to course maintenance and the 19th-hole clubhouse. It's a first-rate golf experience, Brandon Tucker writes from Sin City.

Big Island's Hapuna Golf Course more than holds its own with nearby Mauna Kea

Any idea that Hapuna Golf Course is just the other venue at Mauna Kea resort on the Big Island is quickly dismissed once you start playing it.

And it's probably more fun, too, because it's not as difficult, Mike Bailey writes.

Autumn golf brings out the best in Oregon

Where else but Oregon can you experience the green fairways against the incredible backdrop of fall colors against the snow-capped mountains? Or perhaps even the U.S.'s version of the Irish Coast on the Pacific Ocean.

Jacksonville Beach Golf Club is more than just a walk in the park

The first thing you notice about Jacksonville Beach Golf Club is how many people are walking the course. They do this mostly because it's not that difficult. The combination of timing and limited land has led to a course that's easy to walk. But while that might be the case, it's anything but easy, especially for those who like to try to overpower a golf course.

CordeValle: Low-key luxury in the heart of Wine Country

With just 45 rooms terraced up the foothills hills of the Santa Cruz Mountains and a scenic Robert Trent Jones Jr. course, CordeValle appeals to golfers as well as couples looking for romantic getaways.

Go where the action is: Colorado's outdoor mecca of Boulder and Flatirons Golf Course

As the only golf course within the Boulder city limits, Flatirons is an overachieving muni with a country club-style layout but a welcoming atmosphere for casual and serious golfers. Walking or riding 18 holes here -- or just taking advantage of the practice facilities -- is a great way to enjoy a day outdoors in Boulder if you're not up for a higher rpm activity like cycling or hiking.
