Golf magazine came out with the best golf resorts in its latest edition (April 2008) and what I liked about the list this year is that the average joe (yes that’s you and me) got to vote.  The list incorporated the votes of 8,000 golf enthusiasts.

Many of the top winners were no surprise.  For example leading the way as a Platinum winner is Pebble Beach.  Other Platinum winners include Kiawah Island Golf Resort and Pinehurst.

For those of us who live in the middle of the country, the Broodmoor in Coloarado and The American Club in Wisconsin.  No matter where you live you  can find an outstanding course near you.  The Broodmoor has been on my ‘to play’ list for years and may just be my pick for this year.

As the weather warms and we move into late Spring, consider really surprising your dad with an outstanding Father’s Day golf gift of a golf vacation.  With so many top resorts available, you can find something to fit your budget and make his golf season extra special.
