Eagles Nest Golf Club- Maple, ON
Eagles Nest is by far the best public golf option in the greater Toronto area. Designed by Doug Carrick in 2004, it's comparable to the Heathlands Course at TPC Osprey Valley, but quite a bit closer to Toronto. Built on the site of a former gravel and sand quarry, the course plays like a true links style course, with towering dunes, vast waste areas and numerous pot bunkers.

Castle Hill Lighthouse- Newport, RI
Built in 1890 in the Romanesque style, possibly designed by Henry Hobson Richardson himself, the Castle Hill Lighthouse has been an active navigational aide for over 100 years. Nestled into the rocky coastline, in an impossibly scenic location, it guides ships through the East Passage of Narragansett Bay, while also acting as a popular proposal site.

Mayflower Inn- Washington, CT
After staying at the Mayflower Inn, I became obsessed with Auberge resorts. Everything at the Mayflower was so intentional, so design forward, and so focused on the experience. Indeed, Auberge properties are all about sense of place, and local experiences.

Mystic Rock GC- Farmington, PA
Mystic Rock is the older of the two Pete Dye courses at Nemacolin, as well as the longer, and more challenging. Known for once hosting a PGA tournament, it received an extensive bunker and tee box renovation in 2021.

Mill Creek Park- Youngstown, OH
Mill Creek is one of the most magnificent parks I have ever visited. Seriously. A diverse gem, it is one of the finest urban parks in the United States. From dramatic vistas and arched stone bridges to gorgeous geology, it is stunning in every season.
