Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North- Scottsdale, AZ
Just like golf courses, there are no shortages of hotels and resorts in Scottsdale. With so many options, staying at them all would be an impossible task, but I'm determined to give it a try (omitting those with waterparks of course). I do give preference to those with golf courses to make things easy, which led to me to the Four Seasons Troon North. It did not disappoint.

Banyan Tree Mayakoba- Playa del Carmen, MX
Years ago, I watched a golf tournament played on an unbelievably beautiful course. The fairways were surrounded by dense jungle, flanked by a network of mangrove canals. I immediately vowed to visit one day, to wind through the wild waterways in an impossibly quaint little boat emblazoned with Mayakoba on the back. That day arrived in 2024.

Cobble Beach Golf Links- Kemble, ON
Opened in 2007, Cobble Beach is a Doug Carrick (Eagles Nest, Osprey Valley) links style design, inspired by Pebble Beach. While it may not be quite as dramatic, it is a solid scenic play.
-
Inn at Cobble Beach- Kemble, ON
Constructed in 2007 as part of a golf course community, the Inn at Cobble Beach features just ten rooms. This results in an intimate feel, like staying the weekend at a friend's waterfront estate.

Sweetwater Bay- Tobermory, ON
Situated above Lake Huron's craggy coast, Sweetwater Bay offers unparalleled water views and access to the most magnificent swimming spot in Tobermory. Reached by a series of decks and staircases, the dramatic decent is as unforgetable as the surrounding landscape.
