Four incredible Dublin, Ireland golf courses you need to play

A flight into the Irish capital of Dublin (the nation’s largest city) puts golfers in the center of everything and in the perfect spot for scores of renowned and challenging courses — both on the coast and a half-hour’s drive inland. The Travel Caddie has four must-play favorites . . .

Great golf along the Mississippi Gulf Coast

There are about 20 courses in the area at just about every price point. We have chosen three of our favorites for the snapshot below — the sublime Fallen Oak designed by Tom Fazio; the very good and testing Jerry Pate-fashioned Preserve Golf Club; and the uber-secluded Grand Bear Golf Club as routed by Nicklaus.

Monterey Peninsula golf is more than Pebble Beach

The Travel Caddie offers some snapshots of courses designed by the likes of Pete Dye, Todd Eckenrode, and the father and son team of Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Jr. — courses that helped make this region a golf hotbed and a must-play destination on your bucket list, even without a tee time at Pebble.

The best golf resorts in Georgia

We're sorry to break the news, but you won't be getting a tee time at Augusta National no matter how much you beg or pray. But the Travel Caddie still loves some Georgia golf and there are plenty of tracks throughout the Peach State that make it worth the trip — even if you'll never don a green jacket.
