Cabot Links in Inverness, Nova Scotia
We shall begin offering programs to Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia later this summer and a recent visit was extremely insightful on various levels.
Cape Breton has long hosted Highland Links which for a number of years has been in GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 in the World list (currently #98) . It remains a fine test of golf in a spectacular setting within the Cape Breton National Park along the internationally renowned Cabot Trail. In far more recent times Cape Breton is receiving much attention from the golf media with the pending opening of Cabot Links in Inverness, on the west coast of Cape Breton.

While we do not offer domestic golf trips, a recent business meeting at the Pelican Hill Resort in Newport Beach was a very positive experience. The two Tom Fazio designed courses are almost 20 years old but the accommodation component only opened in 2008 and is spectacular.
I had previously attended a meeting at the resort and stayed overnight in it’s sister property but was impressed at that time with the physical plant. On this occasion I stayed at Pelican Hill for three nights and played both the North & South Courses.

I have previously blogged that I believe when on travel to Italy, a cooking class must be top of the list. If you are staying at Villa d’Este you can attend The Chef’s Garden which is located on the panoramic hillside leading to the Statue of Hercules and Lica. Cooking lessons, using fresh ingredients from the garden, are available on request; and after your lesson, a wine tasting is recommended to finish off your evening!

Bordeaux in France is a popular area for golf, wine and food.
Les Sources de Caudalie is a luxury hotel located in the heart of renowned vineyards and offers an interesting spa treatment for those seeking something a little different; “Vinotherapie”. This original and exclusive skin care is based on a combination of hot natural water and the health and beauty enhancing properties of grapes and wines.

Ashford Castle
We often receive requests from clients to experience a stay at a castle when travelling to Ireland and Scotland. Due to logistics it is not always possible to stay in a castle every night during your golfing vacation, but it is certainly feasible to include a night or two in your itinerary. In Ireland, Ashford Castle is the ideal location when playing Connemara Golf Club; it has recently has been voted ‘Top Resort in Ireland’ in Condé Nast Traveller’s 2011 Gold List, and one of the top hotels in Ireland in Travel & Leisure’s 2011 World’s Best Awards.

Huka Lodge, New Zealand
I have previously blogged on how great Huka Lodge is, so I was delighted to see this great article on the Conde Nast Travel website – click here to view. Under recommended hotel and “Super Lodges” I can confirm that both Huka Lodge & Cape Kidnappers are indeed super lodges and a definite must visit while in New Zealand; the service and accommodation are second to none! The pictures just confirm how great these properties are…the best way to spend time and relax during your golf vacation.
