December photos of the month
Desert and tropical golf dominates our final user photo gallery of 2019.
Golf Advisor users have outdone themselves.
December's photos of the month are the best collection we've ever received. The incentive of winning the #RateToEscape sweepstakes to Maui (make sure you enter before the December 31 deadline) probably helped, but so did the opportunity to send year-end reviews and photos to wrap up 2019 in style.
Creative shots of golfers jumping for joy at Pacific Dunes, a herd of elk in Colorado and hot air balloons in New Mexico were spectacular. We hope you keep playing - and sending in those reviews with quality photos - in 2020. Have a happy holiday season and New Year!
