However, also consider the links less traveled - and you can combine your lust for golf with any long held wanderlust for travel - in just about any location in the world.

Always wanted to go to Fiji? Drawn to the sun-drenched beaches of Greece? There's even major resorts to be found in Anchorage and Fairbanks (or for that matter Johannesburg, or Moscow) for any enthusiast who wants to add to their "globe golfing" travel itinerary.

Besides top chefs and world-class cuisine, some may throw in a day at the spa and, at coastal resorts, a romantic yacht excursion or even a day at a private beach. If you're bringing the family, how about kid-friendly activities like horseback riding or trips to nearby attractions?

Only you can decide how best to keep your travel group happy, and some of the best resorts will work with you so that everyone in your party may want to make a return visit someday.
