Introduction

In this edition we have added many new resorts, including some in Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, as well as the United States. Please keep in mind that the rates quoted for the Canadian destinations are in Canadian dollars. Rates for all other locations, including Mexico, are in US dollars.

Clearly, some resorts and golf courses are a notch or two above the others; we have frequently been asked which resorts were our favorites. The list below gives what we consider to be the top 50 resorts in the US, Canada, the Caribbean & Central America. The list is in alphabetical order and does not try to indicate who is number one and who is number 50. It is based on the quality of lodgings, the amenities and general ambience, as well as the quality of the golf facilities.
