The top ten golf courses for men to enjoy this Father’s Day
1. The Sagamore Resort
If you’re anywhere in the New York area, you must take a summer trip to The Sagamore. The famed Bolton Landing resort boasts an eighteen-hole course with exquisite views of Lake George, and it’s hard to think of a better spot in the state for a game of golf. Built almost a century ago with assistance from iconic golf architect Donald Ross, the course is transformed by the stunning landscape – every hole is a memory in the making. And for any non-golfers who’ve come along for the weekend, The Sagamore has so much else to offer: a world-class spa, many celebrated restaurants, and full access to the area’s breathtaking beauty.
2. Pebble Beach
Pebble Beach is a world-famous golf resort – one whose name you may know even if you yourself are not too familiar with the game. What makes this place so special? Well, its home – the oasis of Monterey County, California – is certainly part of the appeal. And so are the award-winning golf courses, which include Pebble Beach Golf Links – unanimously rated the greatest golf course in America, and host to the U.S. Open more times than any other course. Yeah, this place is one of a kind. Beyond the legendary golf courses, Pebble Beach has a whole universe to explore; come for the golf, stay for the decadent accommodations, the 17-mile scenic drive, and the Forbes Five-Star spa.

3. We-Ko-Pa Golf Club
With its two award-winning courses for Dad to play, we’d like to declare We-Ko-Pa Golf Club the golf destination of the southwest. An enterprise of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, We-Ko-Pa’s desert landscape provides a unique backdrop to its thirty-six striking holes. There’s the Cholla Course, designed by Scott Miller, and the Saguaro Course designed by Coore/Crenshaw – as well as a casino, a steakhouse, and plenty of Arizona adventures. If your dad is a thrill-seeker of any kind – for instance, the kind of person who would enjoy an afternoon on horseback – then this is the Father’s Day trip for him.
4. Half Moon Bay Golf Links
There are few places in the world that feel as magical as California’s Half Moon Bay. And if you’ve never been before, this Father’s Day might make the perfect excuse. The golf course is nestled against the San Mateo County Coast, and offers thirty-six eye-popping holes to play. If you’re looking to plan a longer trip to the Bay Area – or if you live nearby – then this course could be the perfect getaway; it’s only thirty minutes outside San Francisco and San Jose. And make sure to take your dad to a post-game meal at Mullins Steakhouse, which offers steak with a side of the beautiful bay.
5. Juniper Reserve
Juniper Preserve of Bend, Oregon is a Father’s Day destination that’s worth your consideration. It is home to the Pronghorn Golf Club, which offers two courses that your dad will find it difficult to forget: the Signature Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus; and the Championship Course designed by Tom Fazio. Both courses are notable for their majestic, mountainous views, though they offer two distinct experiences – while the Signature Course is minimalist, the Championship Course incorporates the lush, green landscape into the game itself. And of course, the resort itself is also home to a spa and wellness retreat, four fabulous dining options, and multiple luxury accommodations.

Torrey Pines is one of the very top golf courses in the world, and we know your dad will not be disappointed. Located in San Diego, California, Torrey Pines has two formidable courses – both of which come with an expansive view of the Pacific Ocean. And all players will absolutely want to stay at The Lodge, which is a well-known five-star hotel, with or without the golf. Make sure you save some hours after tee-time for an afternoon at the spa, and dinner at the signature A.R. Valentien. You know Dad deserves the best.
8. The American Club
The American Club of Kohler, Wisconsin is a luxury destination and a spot for some of the country’s top golfing. As well as the Kohler Swing Studio and the Kohler Golf Academy, the American Club offers four unbeatable courses – all of which are characterized by the scenic world of the Lake Michigan terrain. And with seven top restaurants, yoga on the lake, and a full summer’s worth of activities – think fishing, kayaking, and pickleball – we know that the whole family will fall in love. Book one of the five-star rooms at The American Club Resort Hotel, and indulge Dad in the weekend of a lifetime.
