Details on Exclusive Subscriber Trip to Bandon Dunes
Special Savings on World Class British Isles Golf Cruise

In addition to our year end features, this month's issue highlights two very exciting travel opportunities for the coming year. The first is an exclusive subscriber-only trip to Bandon Dunes and Chamber's Bay. Golf Odyssey subscribers will have the opportunity to play Bandon's new Old Macdonald Course three weeks before it opens to the public. Also on hand will be Bandon visionary owner Mike Keiser and Jim Urbina, co-architect of the course with Tom Doak. This course is already being talked about as perhaps being the best course at the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.

Also on the travel front is a phenomenal small-ship luxury cruise that features rounds at Turnberry, Royal County Down, Royal Portrush, Royal Dornoch, Castle Stuart, Cruden Bay, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns. Special savings opporunities are available to Golf Odyssey subscribers for this Kalos-hosted charter on-board Silversea's luxurious Prince Albert II.

Also contained in the December issue is our annual Golf Travel Awards as well as our Platinum Places List of the World's Finest Golf Destinations for the upcoming year. For your convenience, you will also find an index of all of our golf course and hotel reviews from the 2009 calendar year.
