Ventana Canyon Golf and Racquet Club - Mountain Course

Tucson

Often overlooked in favor of the Phoenix/Scottsdale area about 90 minutes north, Tucson, Arizona holds its own and then some as a golf destination. With a little more elevation than the Valley of the Sun, Tucson is slightly cooler in the late spring, summer and fall, making it a good year-round golf destination.

Boulder

If you thought that hiking, biking, and watching a concert all in the same place was impossible, think again. When you come to Boulder, visiting Red Rocks is a must. You can hike the trails and bike the terrain, and in the evening, come back to the Red Rocks Amphitheater. The venue is literally in the middle of the mountains and unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Tulsa

Sarasota/Bradenton

Just south of Tampa, Sarasota resides on the Florida Gulf Coast. If you’re visiting in February, go check out the Baltimore Orioles for a Spring Training game at Ed Smith Stadium. If you’re looking to make a delicious home-cooked meal, head over to the Central Sarasota Farmers Market. You’ll be surrounded by fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as different vendors, live music, and much more. Do you ever wish you could play more than 18 holes? Spend all day long at University Park Country Club. This 27-hole course is public, but offers memberships as well. If you’re looking for a unique golfing experience, head on over to the Bobby Jones Golf Course. The course has eight sets of tees, allowing for any player of any skill-set to take to this course. What makes this course extra special is the fact that it’s reversible! You can play 18 holes in one direction, and the next day play in the exact opposite direction. This experience is something to see.

Cape May

Located at the southern-most tip of New Jersey, Cape May is nestled ocean-side with great views, vibes, and even better food. There’s plenty of options when it comes to exploring out on the water. Head over to the Pier 47 Marina to rent a boat that can accommodate up to 10 passengers.

Albuquerque

Aside from an airplane, helicopter, or Ferris wheel, what’s the best way to check out the horizon from up above? A hot air balloon of course! Head over to the Rainbow Ryders hot air balloon tours. They offer sunrise tours starting at 6 am. Take part in the experience of a lifetime and watch the sun rise over the Sandia Mountains and the Rio Grande.

Bakersfield

Home to more than 800,000 people, Bakersfield, CA may not be as well-known as San Francisco, but there’s still plenty to do and see. If you’re looking for a night out on the town, The Fox Theater has been around since the late 1920’s. The theatre has events ranging from live concerts, to ballets, and so much more. Music and culture have filled the Fox Theater for decades and taking a part in that history is worth-while.

Pinehurst

The golf mecca of Pinehurst/Aberdeen/Southern Pines touts itself as the "Home of American Golf." More than 40 courses call the heart of North Carolina's Sandhills home. Golf courses line Midland Road heading into the historic village of Pinehurst. Donald Ross, the legendary Scot who made his home here, left a lasting legacy by designing Pinehurst No. 2; Pine Needles and Mid Pines, among others.

Jacksonville

Anchored by the city of Jacksonville, Florida's First Coast makes for a worthy opening stop for golf in the Sunshine State. The PGA Tour's headquarters is in nearby Ponte Vedra Beach at the TPC Sawgrass, where the PLAYERS Championship is staged on the famous, Pete Dye-designed Stadium Course.

Sacramento

Williamsburg

Fresno

If you’re looking to escape the brutal winters over on the east coast, there’s no better place to warm up than Fresno. Every December, N. Van Ness Boulevard in Fig Garden becomes a one-way street with trees and homes glowing with festive, holiday lights. This has been a Fresno tradition since 1920, and it’s worth checking out, especially because it’s free!

Atlantic City

What has basically become the Las Vegas of the East Coast, Atlantic City is the ultimate destination for the night owl. From high-rises, to casinos and high-stakes gambling, you can experience it all. In case you’ve been out all night and feel like taking it easy, hop aboard the boardwalk tram. For only $2.25, you can take in all the views of the boardwalk including The Tropicana, Steel Pier, and Boardwalk Hall. If you’re hanging out on the boardwalk, spend some time looking out at the water for some dolphins, or gather your friends to take an Atlantic City Boat Cruise to do some sightseeing. Vineyard Golf at Renault offers wonderful views of vineyards all throughout the course. Keep in mind that if you get off to a rough start on the links, a glass of wine is waiting for you around the corner. The Atlantic City Country Club has been around for nearly 120 years, and several golf legends have made their way onto the tee boxes. From Arnold Palmer, to Sam Snead, you’ll feel a sense of pride playing the course, even if you’ve sunk your fifth double-bogey of the day.

Chicago

As home of the Cubs, Wrigley Field may be Chicago's most well known sports venue but with more than 200 courses to choose from, the city also has a growing reputation as a popular golf destination.

Picture yourself playing golf at Baywood Greens in Longneck, Delaware

About 45 minutes from Ocean City, Maryland, Baywood Greens is the kind of golf course that garners a lot of discussion from those who play it.

On top of that, course conditions are superb. And thirdly, the course is a tale of two nines, highlighted by holes that have an island fairway, island green and island tee box.
