THE BOUGIE SHORTLIST
Inverness, Nova Scotia, Canada
Play Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs from one Cape Breton base, with a short-course day on The Nest.
A coastal stay, seafood dinner and room for an unhurried second round.
Resort and non-resort booking windows differ. Confirm walking arrangements, caddies and the season before flights.
Dornoch, Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom
Make a Highland links round the anchor of a smaller-town golf escape, with coastal walks between rounds.
A small luxury hotel in Dornoch and a separately arranged caddie.
Visitor play is subject to availability. Request caddies with the tee time; buggies require medical eligibility.
Emirates Golf Club, Dubai, UAE
Trade a conventional golf morning for floodlit play on the Faldo Course, leaving daytime for the city or the pool.
A Dubai hotel stay and dinner timed around the actual round.
Check the available night session and number of holes. Lighting does not make heat or playing conditions irrelevant.
Scottsdale, Arizona, United States
Choose Monument or Pinnacle for Sonoran Desert golf among granite boulders, then keep another day for the resort.
A Scottsdale resort, a spa afternoon and an Old Town dinner.
This is daytime desert golf. Check maintenance, heat, full fees and twilight completion rules for your date.
Tourrettes, Provence, France
Combine Dave Thomas-designed golf with Provençal dining and the hilltop villages of the Pays de Fayence.
A resort suite or villa, Le Faventia dinner and a separate spa appointment.
Le Riou is restricted to members, their guests and hotel guests. Confirm handicap eligibility and restaurant service dates.
Southwestern Sicily, Italy
Pair a coastal golf stay with Sicilian food and enough downtime for travelers who would rather skip a round.
A resort stay, a Sicilian dinner and optional PGA-professional coaching.
Reserve lessons separately and match course access, room type and dining inclusions to the confirmed rate.
Bel Ombre, Mauritius
Build an Indian Ocean golf escape around La Réserve Golf Links and a Heritage resort or villa base.
A villa for the group, coastal dining and time at the beach club.
La Réserve access depends on eligible residency or membership. Heritage villas are not beachfront; check beach-club transport.
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Make Tom Fazio’s oceanside Corales course the sporting highlight of a Caribbean resort escape.
A Tortuga Bay or Westin Puntacana stay, with another day left free for the coast.
Confirm the specific guest-access route and tee time. A resort reservation alone is not a confirmed round.
Bandon, Oregon, United States
Plan a walking golf trip across distinct coastal layouts rather than squeezing a single round into a general vacation.
On-property lodging and a short-course session between longer rounds.
Select rounds around walking stamina, caddie needs and weather. Tee times and lodging need separate confirmation.
Central Florida, United States
Compare Coore & Crenshaw, Tom Doak and Hanse & Wagner layouts from a purpose-built golf resort.
A lodge or group-stay option, with spa time for the non-golfers.
Walking-only periods and caddie requirements vary. Check the selected course and date rather than assuming carts.
Monterey Peninsula, California, United States
Make professional instruction the purpose of the trip, with individual coaching, practice and a coastal setting.
A Monterey Peninsula stay and time to explore Carmel beyond the practice ground.
Academy reservations do not include a Pebble Beach Golf Links tee time. Confirm each independently.
Frisco, Texas, United States
Choose beginner lessons, focused coaching or women’s clinics, with a resort stay and short-course play nearby.
An Omni PGA Frisco stay with practice, putting and a relaxed dinner.
Book the actual clinic or private lesson. Short-course, range and championship-course access have separate rules.
