A golf vacation to China

And the correct identity of the golf course pictured in last week’s photo contest is…

We take a lot of pride in being your honest and objective source of golf vacation advice. And while most of our tips aim to give you the upper hand when it comes to planning your golf vacations, today we thought we’d just have a little fun by running a photo contest.

The rules are simple: If you can correctly identify the golf course pictured below, we’ll enter your name in a drawing to win a copy of The Golf Odyssey 2008 Collection, a leather-bound coffee-table book containing amazing photos and in-depth reviews of the hundreds of golf course, resorts and restaurants that the editors of Golf Odyssey inspected last year (a $99 value).

We’ll also tell your fellow GVI readers about your incredible skills in an upcoming tip, with your permission of course, and reveal the name of the photographer who took this gorgeous shot.  Read more →

The Four Seasons course is a must play on a Costa Rica golf vacation.

And, not only is the Four Seasons Costa Rica Golf Club the best course to play on a Costa Rica golf vacation, it is arguably the best course in all of Central America.  Read more →
