Golfer's Paradise (110)Take to the links at some of the most extraordinary golf courses in the world — and then stay at some of the most appealing and exquisite accommodations nearby. A 1960s post-and-beam home in green and verdant Vancouver is adjacent to Gleneagles Golf Course — with a gorgeous sea view. The 19th-century Fife House in Scotland is minutes away from one of the oldest golf clubs in existence, The Crail Golfing Society, while the modern "Hills-by-the-Sea" in Monterey, Calif., abuts some of the most beautiful courses in the world.
Try golf in a private gated community at the Tucson (Ariz.) National Golf Course, and then retire to a luxurious ranch-style townhouse. Or leave the mainland for Maui and a Balinese-style estate surrounded by the Pacific Ocean — and lots of top courses. At higher altitudes, an exclusive townhouse in a large upscale complex in Vail, Colorado, is great for large groups who like golf, skiing and the great outdoors. Or, it's back to the beach at the Country Club Condo in Naples, Fla. — right near the Shark Shootout played on a Greg Norman-designed 36-hole championship golf course.
