5 Golf Courses
5 Bucket List-Worthy

1.

The Carriage
House Hotel

THE CARRIAGE HOUSE HOTEL

Lafayette, Louisiana

Although its name might inspire
images of barn-like historic
architecture, The Carriage House Hotel
in Lafayette, Louisiana, was built new
and boasts all the upscale amenities
and personal service to earn its AAA
Four Diamond rating. The all-suite
boutique hotel's prime location within
the upscale River Ranch community
puts restaurants and shopping within
easy walking distance, plus guests
receive complimentary access to the
City Club at River Ranch. Here,
travelers are welcome to unwind in the
full-service health club, private spa and
on-site restaurant. An outdoor
courtyard, complete with a bubbling
fountain and seating, invites folks to sit
a spell, read, people-watch or simply
lounge in the shade of a palm tree.
According to one AAA Diamond
inspector, each 1- or 2-bedroom suite is
" furnished in an upscale, artistic style,
and each has a marble bath. " Such a
posh environment paired with
Southern hospitality makes the
Carriage House Hotel the perfect stay
in Acadiana, Louisiana's French region.

You don't want to miss these top public (or at
least accessible) courses, so pack your clubs and
take off on a golf pilgrimage around the world.

The Old Course at St. Andrews Links,
St. Andrews, Scotland

It's hard to ignore the course considered to be
the oldest in the world (play here dates back to
at least the 16th century). Plus, golf historians
claim it as the birthplace of today's 18-hole
rounds. Be wary of the 14th hole and its infamous
" Hell Bunker, " a 10-foot deep and 300-square
yard hazard.

2. Pebble Beach Golf Links, Pebble Beach, California
The combination of amazing views of the Pacific
coast and challenging holes make this course
among the most notable in the United States. Jack
Nicklaus once said if he could play only one more
round, Pebble Beach would be it.

3. Cape Wickham Links, King Island, Australia

Completed in 2015, these 18 holes wrap around
the Cape Wickham Lighthouse, meaning every
hole has an ocean view. If the panoramas don't
distract you, the wind might. Golf.com says not
to worry: " Wickham compensates with wide
landing areas. "

4. Kawana Hotel Golf Course Fuji Course,
Ito-Shi, Japan

Golf course designer C.H. Alison took advantage of
natural features in the terrain to bring bunkers into
play while also showcasing snowcapped Mount Fuji
and the Pacific Ocean. While its sister course is fully
open to the public, The Fuji requires a stay at the
hotel to secure a tee time.

5. The Links at Fancourt, George, South Africa

Although a private course, The Links allows a few
reservations for guests of the Fancourt Hotel.
The course, styled after British designs, was
sculpted out of a former airfield. Highlights
include accreditation as a Certified Audubon
Cooperation Sanctuary.
