In this issue:

Hawaii's Kona-Kohala Coast: Holiday golf year-round on the Big Island
Spotlight on Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort: An inside look at Florida's second largest resort
Ireland's County Donegal: Jewel-like links at cubic zirconia prices
Secrets From the World of Golf Travel: Inside tips and secrets on how to save on your next golf vacation, plus the debut of a new Bermuda golf course, a free golf offer from Preferred Hotels, and details on how you can caddy at a PGA Tour event this year

The new year kicks off with a visit to the Big Island of Hawaii where golf courses are literally carved through lava fields. We detail not only one of the finest resorts we have ever visited, but reveal how to stay there at a fraction of the regular rate.

Our second feature takes us to the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, Florida's second largest resort (next to Disneyworld). Learn why it gets only mixed reviews and why we save our highest praise for a nearby property.

In our first return visit to Ireland in some time, we venture to a trio of courses in the Northwest corner of the country where three jewel-like links can be found (and played for less than $66 weekdays).

Finally, in Secrets From the World of Golf Travel, you will find some of our top insider tips for saving money on your next golf trip (in particular, how to take advantage of unadvertised specials), details on the debut of a promising new Bermuda golf course, how to get free golf when staying at a Preferred Hotel, and how you can actually caddy at a PGA Tour event this year (even The Masters).
