Bump for Trump, the guys who had to make political commentary are probably as lousy at golf as they are at being people. I’m sure they can’t afford any of these destinations anyway.

For a sure wonderful experience you can't miss with Pebble or the Trump courses we also like many of. The Arizona resorts.

For real affordable couples golf, try the Alabama Golf Trail, a mixture of premium and decent quality courses. My wife and i enjoyed both Auburn/Opelika and the Prattville Courses. Reasonable costs with decent places to stay, good food and good golf.

If your wife really loves to play and wants to play in places where she will TRULY have a real selection of tees from which to play, go to Mike Keiser's courses...either Bandon or Cabot...and soon Sand Valley in Wisconsin.
Jann Leeming, my wife and I have worked with Mike to put this in place.
All his courses have tees for swing speeds of 65/75/85/95 & 105mph. You are unlikely to find this anywhere else.

I agree that Silverado and Casa de Campo are great. Just returned to U.K. from Kohler where American Club is greatly over priced and Spa also way over the top. Courses are superb and caddies vary in quality.Tuckers Point in Bermuda is pretty good with a fair sprinkling of good courses within easy reach but best of all is the Arnold Palmer layout in North West Costa Rica - fabulous course and a hotel where you can be lulled to sleep - or serenaded whilst enjoying your wife/girlfriend - by the sound of Papagayo Bay on one side of the hotel and the Pacific Ocean on the other. Total bliss !

Princeville Kauai is spectacular. It's a tragedy that the Prince Course has been closed to be turned into an ultra-private club, but the Makai Course is very fun. We have a week at the Westin Ocean Resort, but those get offered from time to time to non-owners. Or, bring lots of money and stay at the St. Regis. While you're in Princeville you can go to any number of beaches, hike (including on the amazing Na Pali coast), go stand-up paddle boarding or kayaking. Just go in summer and bring an umbrella - it's green and lush for a reason. And head down towards Poipu for lots more golf.

Our most memorable golf trip by far was St Andrews Scotland. We stayed at the Fairmont which is just a short drive from town and is surrounded by two very playable golf courses. Getting on the Old. Course as a couple is not as hard as you might think. You can register on a ballot three days in advance or just sign in with the stater as there is usually twosomes that you can join. The town of St Andrews is very interesting so it is much more than a golf trip

My wife loved Pinehurst, Kohler, and Bandon Dunes.

For great golf, visit Traverse City, Mi. A beautiful summer resort area with many nice Hotels, reasonable. Two must play courses are Arcadia Bluffs and Forest Dunes. Each about a 50 mile drive thru beautiful northern Mi. countryside. You won't play two better golf courses. Each has great clubhouse facilites.

My wife and I would suggest Pinehurst (Holly Hotel), Hilton Head (condo on the harbor in Sea Pines) or Grand Cypress (private villa) as worthy alternatives to this list.
