There are all kinds of reasons you could be visiting Tallahassee, from a sports event to meetings at the capitol. Perhaps you're here for a wedding, or to run in the Tallahassee Marathon. Whatever the case, you've got some time on your hands and want to sneak in a little golf. You'll need to rent clubs and you're looking for affordable green fees. Katharine Dyson has some of your top options.
Deer Creek Golf Club, located in the far southwestern fringes of Metro Denver, has a wealth of scenery and geography to keep one busy on an 18-hole journey that traverses protected wetlands, creek beds, rolling terrain, impressive conditioning and some tiered greens. Views from the course include the rugged mountain terrain of the Dakota Hogback -- a long, craggy ridge that separates the eastern fringe of the Rocky Mountains with the Great Plains.
Lost Horizon is a beautiful, rugged, trailblazer-like stretch of four golf holes starting the back nine of Ironbridge Golf Club, an Arthur Hills/Tom Lehman design that is one of Colorado's best kept secrets. David R. Holland has more from Glenwood Springs.
Northern Michigan golf is great, but the Upper Peninsula offers some unforgettable places to tee it up as well. The best way to plan a UP golf trip is to put together a package. Mike Bailey suggests a three-night stay at the Island Resort in Harris, Mich., that includes playing three excellent golf courses: Marquette's Greywalls Course, Sweetgrass G.C., and TimberStone.
