Traveling to golf courses around the world can be fun and exciting, in this topic we talk about golf courses around the world and how to plan a visit to them.

I've heard that there's a course in Houston that has replicas of many famous golf course holes around the world near Houston. Is this place still going? The best golf course I've experienced around Austin is "River Place". It's a tough course but a lot of fun to play. And of course, Austin hosts the annual "Legends of Golf" at the Onion Creek Country Club. My personal favorite is the little known Bastrop Golf Course, it's a very easy nine hole course in a beautiful setting. And you don't lose very many balls because of the pine needle terrain in the woods.

My "home town", Biloxi, MS used to claim to have more golf courses per capita than any place in the US. Just off hand I can think of six courses within 5 min. of my parents' place. lots of snowbirds fly in during the winter to play on Mississippi's "Golden Gulf Coast". Of course, now that Biloxi has become the "Las Vegas" of the south they may be converting some of those courses into parking lots for the Casinos. BTW, golf is a silly game.

What kinds of boats are popular? And how rough is the water around Curacao?
