The Lakes at Castle Hills: Set north of Dallas, this 2,600-acre master-planned country club community featuring a Jay Moorish-designed 18-hole championship golf course offers the 25,000-square-foot Hill-Country style clubhouse that was voted “Best Elite Golf Club 2012” by Avid Golfer Magazine.
Palmetto Dunes Resort: Players at this Hilton Head Island, S.C., resort can traverse the fairways of its three golf courses in comfort and style with fleets of air-conditioned golf carts and Segway Golf Transporters. Its Arthur Hills Clubhouse features several indoor options and outdoors in a natural setting under oak trees for events.
