St. Augustine is the oldest city in the U.S., and it has done a great job of preserving the classic Spanish architecture in the downtown historic district. The area also boasts a number of good golf courses and bed & breakfasts. Put the two together, and you can have a memorable golf trip, Tim McDonald writes.
Olde Stonewall Golf Club in Western Pennsylvania has castles, knights in armor and moats. Sound like a gimmick? Wrong. Fact is, this Michael Hurdzan/Dana Fry design is a beautiful course that deserves the recognition it has received from the golf establishment. The conditioning is superb, from the bentgrass tee boxes to the bentgrass fairways to the bentgrass greens.
