Entries from September 2009
If the 2010 reader rankings from Golf World don’t get you thinking about living at a private golf course, you may not like golf all that much. This year’s list indicates that many clubs in states like New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania remain strong offerings. This year, Rochester, New York’s Oak Hill even beat out Augusta National in the rankings. Oak Hill will host the 2013 PGA Championship.

There is prestige and there is pure pleasure when it comes to golf. It is quite likely that residents of private clubs with outstanding golf offerings are content, even happy, to keep their hidden gems a secret and “off the list.”
Of course, through member-guest events, golfers love to sample new spaces. So Oak Hill is not the only game in town. People usually take a lot more than the golf course into account when making a big decision.
If you are interested in exploring some of these hidden gems see them here, before they make the 2011 list. Many of these destination amenity communities also offer plenty more than golf and make great primary or second home locations.

The best North Carolina second homes in private communities are featured here. This week we turn our attention toward summer camp, one of those childhood experiences designed to get us in touch with nature. We spend the rest of our lives with the fond memories of what it was like to play all day long with friends or family. Of course, the famous 1960s Allan Sherman song parody about Camp Grenada could also remind us of the flip side of summer camp and its rustic amenities that always looked better in the brochure than they did when we arrived.
But what if you could really have the ideal place for a summer camp that could be a winter, fall and spring camp too? What if nature were civilized without being urbanized? Scenic, but not isolated from the activities and events that enrich life?
Banner Elk, North Carolina and Aspen, Colorado offer Luxury + Nature. For Video, Click the Photo.
The Lodges at Eagles Nest is touting its High Country Land Rush Weekend this October in Banner Elk, North Carolina.
