ORLANDO, Fla., (Nov. 3, 2010) – Golfweek – the publication preferred by serious golfers – has just released its highly anticipated Definitive Guide to the Golf Life issue, which features the 2011 Golfweek’s Best Residential, Resort and Caribbean/Mexico Courses lists.
“The diversity of courses on this year’s lists is fascinating,” said Bradley S. Klein, national director of Golfweek’s Best Courses ratings program. “Coastal layouts dominate the top of the resort list, with Pacific Dunes (No. 1), Old Macdonald (No. 2) and Pebble Beach (No. 3), all with holes on the ocean. Yet rugged inland sites dominate the residential list: Mountaintop (No. 1), Rock Creek Cattle Co. (No. 2) and Wade Hampton (No. 3). And the Caribbean list manages to do both, with Cap Cana’s Punta Espada (No. 1) on the coast of the Dominican Republic and Querencia (No. 2) up in the foothills overlooking San Jose del Cabo, Mexico. This shows that our Golfweek’s Best team of course raters is able to make nuanced judgments.”
In addition to these popular rankings, Golfweek’s Nov. 3 Definitive Guide to the Golf Life issue features in-depth information about many of the properties found on each list and also includes numerous articles about living the exclusive golf lifestyle. Story topics range from golf travel and fashion to automobiles and wine.
“Our readers have discerning tastes when it comes to where they live, travel and play, which is why the Definitive Guide to the Golf Life is one of the best products we produce each year,” said Jason Redditt, publisher of Golfweek. “This issue not only delivers the game’s most authoritative rankings of the best resort, residential and Caribbean/Mexico courses, but also serves as an invaluable resource for serious golfers who want to take living the golf life to a whole new level.”
