For those craving a quintessential Florida golf experience, the Country Club of Miami delivers with its two traditional 18-hole courses, framed by towering oak trees and undulating, leafy terrain. Designed by esteemed golf architect Robert Trent Jones, the club opened its doors in 1961 with the legendary Arnold Palmer as one of its first professionals. Stay at The Miami Beach EDITION, a spacious private enclave with beach access just a one-hour drive from the golf course. 

More intrepid golfing aficionados will find paradise at Bandon Dunes, a dramatic course along Oregon’s rugged coastline. With five full courses, plus a 13-hole par 3 layout, Bandon Dunes is a love letter to the birthplace of golf with its Scottish links tradition. Skill is at odds with the elements, with ever-changing sea gales and windswept dunes shaping the game. We recommend retreating to the resort’s cosy lodges to toast the day’s triumphs with a pint of ale and a serving of Scotch eggs. 

This West Coast club in LA is famed for its impeccable natural beauty and pristine 18-hole layout, earning its place in the top 20 golf courses in America according to Forbes. Beyond its golfing prestige, Riviera is also a community pillar, donating $1 million to local fire relief initiatives. Stay at Casa del Mar in Santa Monica, a villa-inspired hotel which offers yoga, a great way to decompress after a day of golf. 

Located in the suburbs of Wheaton, this classic course was designed by the father of golf architecture, C.B Macdonald in 1894. With scenic lakes, shady copses and a charming clubhouse, this Golden Age spot stands the test of time. With fewer than 150 members, access is a rare privilege, but those fortunate to step onto its impeccably manicured fairways will be treated to an unforgettable game. Stay at The Langham in Chicago, a landmark hotel that serves delightful dishes and boasts an extensive art collection.
