Winter Golf

Travel

As the air turns cooler and the leaves begin to pile up, Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan

Golfers start to think about finding warmer climes to break up the winter blahs and hit some golf

balls. Here are three travel suggestions that offer a variety of activities to please Golfaholics and

non-golfers alike.

Lake Charles, Louisiana

Area golfers are probably not

familiar with Lake Charles,

Louisiana, as a golf destination,

but believe me it is perfect for

a winter getaway. Two large

casinos

, The L’Auberge a

nd the

Golden Nugget provide first-

class accommodations and Las

Vegas-like entertainment and

excitement.

Each casino has its own

championship golf course,

immaculately

manicured

to please even the most

demanding golfer. Several

other golf courses in the

immediate area will satisfy

avid golfers, as well.

A multitude of dining

choices between the two

casinos, provide every guest

with an impossible task of

choosing where to dine, let

me recommend just two. The

Ember Grille in the L’Auberge

is guaranteed to prepare one

of the finest steaks that will

ever tickle your taste buds.

Try the 40-ounce Tomahawk

Bone-in Rib-eye if you dare.

The Country Club Restaurant at

the Golden Nugget offers views

of the golf course, plus provides

cuisine with a Cajun flair.

Seafood gumbo and Sea Bass

are just two menu selections

that will satisfy any palate.

Mississippi Gulf Coast

Gulfport

and

Biloxi,

Mississippi have too many

resorts and golf courses to

mention them all. Three

of the best a

re Island View

Resort in Gulfport, plus the

Beau Rivage

and

Hard Rock

in Biloxi. All three are on the

beach and offer panoramic

views of the Gulf of Mexico.

Each has “Stay & Play”

packages at several of the

area’s finest golf courses. In

addition to gambling, the

spa, a complete salon, as

well as, various shopping

opportunities will please non-

golfers. Guests at the Beau

Rivage also have playing

privileges at one of the area’s

premier courses, Fallen Oak

Golf Club. The Champions

Tour visits Fallen Oak every

March for the Mississippi

Gulf Resort Classic.

Island View Resort and Hard

Rock also offer “Stay & Play”

packages for golf enthusiasts.
