Undiscovered Paradise, Brasstown Valley

Not even on the radar-screen of most golfers, or vacationers for that matter, is the Young Harris, Georgia, in north Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Most people haven't even heard of the Brasstown Valley Mountain Resort located there.

Suite Golf Travel is just beginning to explore this gorgeous location, but it appears that stellar accomodations, fantastic golf and tons of other great amenities are on the horizon. We will have more information in a few days, but expect a great overview. In the meantime, take a look for yourself at this link: Brasstown Valley Resort.

The golf course looks fabulous. Its ranked as one of the best in Georgia and the nation by Golf Digest. Who knew?

Cooperstown Baseball and Golf

Summertime was made for baseball, and golf. Plan a family trip to Cooperstown, New York and enjoy the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Ostega Hotel overlooking Lake Ostega and some great golf in the surrounding area.

Cooperstown is located east of Albany, New York. It won't be your typical urban visit to the Big Apple, but rather a largely rural getaway to the Empire State. Pack up the family and the clubs and visit this historic area.

The Leatherstocking Theatre and the Susquehanna Flight Park are two of the other activities you can choose from. Weather and scenery are beautiful this time of year.

Las Vegas TPC Golf and Spa Vacation

Suite101.com Golf has featured two of Las Vegas' best "things to do" if you're a golfer in it's article Las Vegas Golf at Its Best. The article describes the JW Marriot Las Vegas Golf Resort and Spa and the TPC The Canyons golf course.

The JW Marriot is one of Las Vegas' most spectacular spas and a great destination for the entire family. It's only 18 minutes from the airport and has too many activities and amenities to list in full, but a few are its seven restaurants and lounges, an onsite casino, a fabulous spa, pools (which are particularly beautiful at sunset), over 500 elegant guest rooms and suites, and many nearby activities for everyone in the family. All that is in addition to the best golf anywhere, as the TPC The Canyons Course is located adjacent to the resort.

Las Vegas golf often gets overlooked amid the blinding lights of the city. A close look would show the golf to eclipse everything else. Give Vegas resorts and golf a look and forget about all the other nonsense.

Family Trip to the 2008 Ryder Cup

The Ryder Cup Matches return to the United States 2008. They take place at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky from September 16-21.

The Ryder Cup is one of the best golf events for kids who are developing a love of the game to see. More than just a tournament, the Ryder Cup Matches pit the greatest players in the game from the United States an Europe against one another in a team competition. They play not only for themselves, but also for their countries.

If you want tickets, visit the Ryder Cup homepage and get further information. In a nutshell, to get tickets, you have to enter a random draw. Of course, later you can probably pay a premium for them from ticket agencies.

There are lots of things to do for the whole family in the Bluegrass Area. The horse farms, Kentucky Kingdom, and U of L Football are all great options for the Louisville area. The golf is great too. There are numerous golf courses in the area. Kentucky's state parks are among the best in the nation and arre abundant across the state.

As the Ryder Cup approaches, look for more information here on things to do and places to play. In the meantime, visit http://www.kentucky.gov/ and http://www.golfkentuckylinks.com/.
