The first thing you will notice in this month's issue is a brand-new look for Golf Odyssey. As a result of reader feedback, we now have an expanded monthly format with more content, photos and stories than ever before. It also has been designed to be much easier to read, especially online.

As for this month's features, we begin with what may well be one of America's best golf destinations for the money – the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Highlighted by the magnificent Greywalls, one can stay two nights and play three rounds of golf for less than the price of a single green fee at many other resorts.

Are you interested in playing some of the best private top-100 golf courses in the United States? Are you motivated by philanthropy? One way to scratch both itches is to participate in a charity outing. We outline several upcoming opportunities to play Baltusrol, Fisher's Island, Medinah and The Olympic Club.

What resort offers the best one-two punch in Virginia. It's not Kingsmill, The Homestead or Williamsburg. It is Bay Creek. This little known resort sports two worthy courses and a private beach. You will, however, need to make your own bed.

How can it be that a golf course that is widely viewed as one of the top five courses in Ireland doesn't make it onto most travel itineraries? Well, geography does have something to do with it. This month we take you inside the unique personality of The European Club.
