2. Cape Cod, Mass.
The Cape spans just 65 miles as it juts out into the Atlantic Ocean and curves up around the Massachusetts shoreline, but golfers have nearly 30 public courses from which to choose. The most interesting may be the Highland Links at Truro, a 9-hole layout set high atop the gorgeous shoreline and offering breathtaking, blustery vistas. It's a short trip from there to Wellfleet or Provincetown, where fishing and lobster boats deliver their daily haul directly to markets and restaurants.
3. Williamsburg, Va.
No word on whether the founding fathers were avid golfers, but the sport long ago invaded this colonial town. The Golden Horseshoe Club offers two first-rate public courses that wind through rolling hills and split rail fences. Nearby Kingsmill Resort features the River Course, which hosts an annual LPGA Tour event, among its three courses. Cool off with a chilled stein of ale at a local pub ? be it college (William & Mary is right in town) or colonial ? then secure a table at one of the authentic colonial taverns serving traditional fare. True foodies should plan ahead and reserve a stadium-style seat at A Chef's Kitchen, where culinary artist John Gonzales cooks up a nightly master class before diners who watch him prepare their meal.
4. Monterey, Calif.
The cliffs and shoreline on the gorgeous California coast two hours south of San Francisco offer the most amazing marriage of golf and gourmet dining in the country, and perhaps the world. Pebble Beach Golf Links, ranked by?Golf Digest?as the top public course in America, is a bucket list round for any duffer, but with a $495 green fee, it's a once-in-a-lifetime pricey bucket. Among the dozens of nearby courses are thriftier options, including Pacific Grove Golf Links, that offer similarly spectacular ocean views. Being situated smack in the middle of wine country means great dining options abound.?Wine Enthusiast?recently ranked Monterey County among the top 10 wine travel destinations in the world.
