With fall upon us, and winter less than two months away, WorldGolf.com readers used October to head towards warmer, greener pastures, namely some of the top courses in the U.S., from Hawaii and Las Vegas to Myrtle Beach. There's even a Ryder Cup venue thrown in there.

Reader Gayle Moss is checking in after her recent trip to Hawaii, where she's left two comprehensive reviews of two resorts: Kapalua and Wailea.

Eleven-handicapper Tadd Dolbier gave Jack Nicklaus' Reflection Bay in Lake Las Vegas a perfect five-star rating and heaps of praise:

"Lush fairways, perfect greens, sand, water, desert…Varied and a challenging layout."

Twenty-five-handicapper George Thompson praised Myrtle Beach's Azalea Sands for its playability and value.

"This is a good value for the money," remarked Thompson. "The course is not difficult and is in good shape considering the lack of rain we have had this year."

Just south of Myrtle Beach, reader Joe M. gave True Blue five stars.

Less than a year away from the 2008 Ryder Cup, one lucky reader, Larry Glover, got a sneak peak at the 2008 venue, Valhalla Country Club in Kentucky.

"I think it's underrated compared to the best courses in the world," said Glover. "Valhalla is really interesting because of the difference in the two nines…I love number 18, it's the best hole I've ever played!"
