The Mobil Travel Guide’s Golf is as much a “Bucket List” list of golf courses we’d like to play before we die as it is a travel guide. This neat, little pocket-sized guide book offers a compilation of the 20 best public golf courses across the United States and Canada. The Mobile Travel Guide’s Golf is a fantasy of luxurious vacation destinations that offer the ultimate in championship golf courses surrounded by settings of outstanding natural beauty.
I’ve often said that planning the ultimate golf vacation is as much about researching, browsing, wishing and anticipating as it is about making the actual trip. Certainly it is for me. For many, however, time is of the essence, especially when one considers the pressures of work and everyday living. That being so, the Mobil Travel Guide - Golf offers a shortcut to planning that once-in-a-lifetime outing.
The guide lists, in-depth, 20 of North America’s most famous public golf courses including many of the household names such as Brandon Dunes, Pebble Beach, Kiawah island, Harbour Town, Pinehurst, Torrey Pines, Sawgrass, etc. The information included is extensive, helpful and interesting to read and all the listing are accompanied by beautiful, full color photographs.
Helpful information includes short but detailed descriptions of the courses; practical information such as green fees, where to stay, where to eat, and things to do while you’re not golfing. The listing for Bethpage, for example, includes more than 10 pages of practical information: descriptions of the two golf courses, six New York hotels (all four and five star), 16 of New York’s finest restaurants (all described in great detail), three world-class spas, and a whole range of entertainment opportunities from shopping to museums to helicopter rides.
As golf guides go, the Mobil Travel Guide’s Golf will make a nice addition to your library. It’s a short-cut to North America’s best-of-best; the ultimate wish list of great golf course YOU can play. I recommend you keep a copy on your desk, coffee table, or night stand as a reminder of wonderful things yet to come.
