For one, the country has a pool of 350 million people to develop the requisite golfing talent, but so do other countries like China, Japan, India and Brazil. What sets apart US and these other major powers of the world is the investment it has put into the golfing infrastructure. Below is the cream of the cream of golfing resort in the country.

1. Bandon Dunes Golf Resort

Themed after the Scotland’s ancient links, golf players here immerse themselves into playing golf over the rugged grandeur of the Oregon coast. With 5 distinctly different golf courses that feature rolling grass dunes all the way to the sea, golfing cannot get any better. This is one of the places that make US a great golfing nation and one you should make a point of visiting.

2. Four Seasons Resort at Hualalai

5. Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay

This resort borders a marine reserve, a white sand beach and is nestled on top of rugged red-lava cliff. If beauty can be put to words as well as it is registered by the eyes, then I would put it here and you will board the next flight to Hawaii to see for yourself.
