Quincy, Mass. – Summer might be on the wane, but thanks to GolfGetaways’ September-October 2013 issue highlighting some of America’s best winter golf vacation spots, traveling golfers can keep rolling right through fall and beyond.
Southern California’s fabled Torrey Pines takes center stage in the issue with a cover story that delves into the cliffside muni’s singular, sunny charm and spends some quality time at the elegant Lodge at Torrey Pines, which overlooks the South Course’s 18th hole. It’s an apt opener for the issue’s “Winter Wonderlands” coverage, which also includes perhaps the most extensive print piece to date on Alabama’s popular Robert Trent Jones Trail. Contributor Eric N. Hart and his son knock out a whopping 252 holes in 10 days and live to tell the tale – spiced with fine Southern hospitality, top-notch food and drink and, of course, memorable golf.
“It’s tough to think of two destinations that more clearly illustrate the gift of winter golf than Torrey Pines and the RTJ Trail,” says Executive Editor Vic Williams. “Both spots really hit their stride in the fall and winter, attracting thousands of golfers from up north. No matter what the thermometer reads outside your door, there’s always someplace to go for an amazing golf vacation, and that’s what this issue is all about.”
Other featured “Winter Wonderland” destinations include Monarch Beach and the Ritz-Carlton in Laguna Niguel, Calif., and Entrada at Snow Canyon in St. George, Utah, plus quick stops in Hawaii, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, Florida, Palm Springs and Myrtle Beach. There’s also a special feature on Central Oregon, one of the few American destinations where, at certain times of year, visitors can also get in a ski run and a round of golf in the same day.
Other issue highlights: “Dream” vacations in North Carolina, Texas and Alabama and a history-steeped swing through Colonial Williamsburg.
