I am considering taking a trip by car to somewhere for golf. How far south would I have to drive to reach courses in good condition? I really don't feel like flying down somewhere.

Snowbirds have started their sojourn south :-) Hey folks--howabout we use this thread to track who is where and when this winter---perhaps we could get a few games in depending on the location. We are heading back to Hilton Head for February and March--it will be our 8th year. I have finally...

Other than Gray Rocks, Diable and Geant, are there any other golf courses within a 15-30min drive of the Grande Lodge inTremblant worth playing that is reasonably priced (a bunch of non-golfers, so paying $80-100 isn't high on their to do list)?

I spent Canada Day weekend playing Pebble Beach, Spyglass, and Spanish Bay. Here are some pics. It is certainly a weekend of golf I will remember forever. The weather was sunny everyday I played, which apparently is not normal. The day I arrived golf was played in fog on several of the holes. It is...

I live in the Hamilton area and due to my mass amounts of golf I play (90+ rounds/year), I like to have a membership. I've been a member at King's Forest the last couple years, and I do really like it. That said, it could be a hell of a lot nicer, and my biggest complaint is moderately slow...

FYI.. if anyone is looking for me I'll be in Florida March 26 - April 1:thumbsup
