ORLANDO, Fla. (Nov. 1, 2012) – Golfweek, the publication most preferred by serious golfers, has just released the eighth annual Ultimate Guide to Golf Course Living and Great Escapes. This highly anticipated issue not only features exclusive stories on everything from course architecture to golf travel, but also includes the 2013 Golfweek’s Best Residential Courses, Resort Courses and Caribbean/Mexico Courses lists as compiled by Golfweek’s knowledgeable team of 745 course raters.
“Golfweek’s raters are open-minded and fair, and that’s evident in the diverse styles highlighted in our latest course rankings,” said Bradley S. Klein, national director of the Golfweek’s Best Course ratings program. “They’ve selected two Tom Doak designs for No. 1 status: Rock Creek Cattle Co. in Montana atop our real estate list and Oregon’s Pacific Dunes heading the resort rankings. At the same time, they’ve recognized the Jack Nicklaus-designed Cap Cana-Punta Espada course in the Dominican Republic as the lead layout in the entire Caribbean/Mexico region.”
In addition to these three authoritative rankings lists, Golfweek’s Ultimate Guide to Golf Course Living and Great Escapes offers in-depth information about many of the featured properties found on each list. The issue also presents exclusive editorial content, including:
• A Q&A with golf legend Gary Player discussing how his golf course design business is thriving despite global economic ills
• A report on the innovative approaches successful resort properties are taking to maintain their customers’ loyalty
• A look at how investors are bringing in revenue and breathing new life into resort and residential properties that have fallen on hard times
• A golf travel feature exploring the western spirit of posh residential communities that line Montana’s rugged frontier
• An insightful column recounting how some of the best memories are made on the journey to and from the course
