In this issue:

Spotlight on Montego Bay, Jamaica
New Orleans and TPC Louisiana
The New (and improved?) Mauna Kea
Hot Deals and Discounts

For those looking for easy access to a Caribbean golf destination with multiple golf courses this winter, Jamaica should be on your short list. With non-stop jet service from no fewer than ten North American cities, getting to Montego Bay is a piece of cake. Literally fifteen minutes from the airport one finds two very worthy golf courses (and one less so) and one of the best family resorts anywhere. All the details are in the October issue of Golf Odyssey.

Our second story takes us to The Big Easy – New Orleans, Louisiana. Although New Orleans is never likely to be an elite golf destination, it does have everything one needs for a short golf break. See why the TPC Louisiana is well worth a visit and why we were far less enthusiastic about English Turn, former host site of the PGA Tour's Zurich Classic. Of course, few cities are more fun than New Orleans.

In this month's final feature, learn about the changes to Mauna Kea Golf Club that have propelled it back onto the major Top-100 lists. While some readers will celebrate the changes, others will yearn for the Mauna Kea of years' past at one of Hawaii's most notable golf courses.

Hot deals and discounts includes special offers from Amelia Island Plantation as well as Sea Island.
