January 2008

New Zealand's remoteness has kept its famed courses and lodges off many golfer's radar screens. We begin the year by demonstrating just how easy it is to conquer the country's finest offerings while only missing one week out of the office. Our story includes first looks at Jack Nicklaus' Kinloch Golf Club and The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, sister lodge to Kauri Cliffs.

As was demonstrated at this year's Q-School, La Quinta can hand out a fair share of punishment. Our detailed review reveals which of this resort's five courses are worthy of a visit and who should consider a visit to this full-service resort.

Arguably the best of the recent additions to public golf in Palm Springs is the Classic Club, one of the few Arnold Palmer designs that capivates our attention.

In What the Golf World is Talking About, learn about a new way to secure tee times at St. Andrew's; say farewell to Greywalls, once a favorite means for gaining access to Muirfield; see how the Donald's Scottish forays are unfolding and what is new at Pinehurst for 2008.
