ORLANDO, Fla. (May 19, 2011) – Golfweek, the most authentic, authoritative and independent voice in golf, will release its second annual Casino Issue tomorrow. Delivering a closer look at some of the game’s greatest golf and gaming destinations, the 2011 Casino Issue offers expanded content and features that give readers a behind-the-scenes look at this growing trend in golf.
“There’s always been a great synergy between golf and gaming,” said Golfweek editor Jeff Babineau. “That’s never been more true than in recent years as casinos have been behind the development of some of the best new courses in America. In this issue, we’ll introduce readers to two off-the-beaten-path gaming destinations that offer outstanding golf at great value, and also revisit the Las Vegas course that raised the bar for all casino golf courses when it opened more than 20 years ago.”
Highlights of Golfweek’s 2011 Casino Issue include:
• A travel feature about Mesquite, Nev., a value gaming destination with a strong collection of golf courses
• An in-depth story on Firekeeper Golf Course, a new casino layout set on a tribal reservation, which is being billed as Notah Begay III’s first signature design
• An insightful column on Shadow Creek, the Las Vegas course that upped the ante for casino golf
“Casino courses and their corresponding resort properties are quickly becoming golf meccas for avid players across the country,” said Jereme Day, associate publisher of Golfweek. “By coupling quality golf with fantastic gaming opportunities, these destinations have set a new standard for golf travel, and we are dedicated to providing golfers with the inside scoop on the genre’s best places to play.”
