The Bahia Golf Course is now in play for Mexico golf vacations.
How good is the new Bahia Golf Course that opened 90 days ago in Punta Mita, Mexico?
Well, last week, the editors of Golf Odyssey dropped in to play it and they walked away quite impressed with the much-anticipated Jack Nicklaus Signature Design, a sister course to the original, Pacifico course.

Old MacDonald opens for Bandon Dunes golf vacations on June 1. (Photo by Wood Sabold)
Old Macdonald, the most highly anticipated golf course in America, is scheduled to open on June 1 at southern Oregon’s Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.
Based upon how much as been written about Old Macdonald, you probably already knew this, and the concept behind the course, i.e., that it’s an homage to “Golden Age” architect C.B. Macdonald.
But I recently read an exclusive interview that the editors of Golf Odyssey conducted with Bandon Dunes Golf Resort owner Mike Keiser, and he revealed a few things about the course (and the new course he’s planning) I haven’t seen published anywhere else. Read more →

With mainstream golf magazines costing only $12-$20 per year, I know it can be hard for many of you to understand how Golf Odyssey, the members-only newsletter and website, is worth $147.
Well, today is your opportunity to find out for free and get a $50 discount if you decide to subscribe (more on this below).
Right now, I’m going to make it very easy to understand Golf Odyssey’s ”value proposition.”
Below are what I think are the top-10 secrets, pieces of advice, and members-only opportunities that Golf Odyssey shared with readers in 2009. While readers might have picked other great nuggets, these are my personal favorites.
Stated another way, in my admittedly blunt fashion, here’s what you would have learned, and the invitations you would have received, if you were a Golf Odyssey subscriber last year: Read more →

Doral Golf Resort's new course is finished, but other important areas are not.
You’ve probably been hearing a lot about the “complete” renovation of Miami’s Doral Golf Resort, but there’s something you should know before booking your Florida golf vacations there.
Let me first say, without question, there is a lot to be excited about, including the Jim McLean Signature Course, which replaces the forgettable Silver Course.
But there’s one thing you need to know — information the resort’s reservation agents don’t volunteer — that could make or break your trip there, or to any “renovated” resort. Read more →

Is this the new "must play" course on Cabo San Lucas golf vacations?
Do you remember hearing about a lawsuit filed this past summer by a couple dozen National Hockey League players against a guy who supposedly took their $25 million and didn’t build the Cabo San Lucas, Mexico golf course he promised?
Well, the course is built, it’s open for play, and it has been generating some considerable buzz (for the right reasons this time).
You’ll see why when you take a look at these amazing photos, one of which shows stone-sided “hitting caves” on what may be the coolest practice range you’ve ever seen.
