The best courses in the Dominican Republic are at Puntacana and Cap Cana, and Casa de Campo, about 50 miles west on the southern coast.
This fall, an Andrew Harper Signature Tour will head to one of the most spectacular destinations in the world: New Zealand.
This month's Hideaway Report explored the remote and beautiful Emerald Coast of Nicaragua.
Although Nicaragua has most of the ingredients required for success, its tourism has been slower to develop than expected. So I was intrigued to hear about a new $250 million Pacific coast retreat.
After Scotsman David McLay Kidd designed the Bandon Dunes golf course in Oregon in the late 1990s, he became one of the most sought-after architects in the game.
Large, comfortable resorts fill the spaces between the fairways in Palm Springs, but none could be considered a luxury hideaway. My favorite property in the city remains The Willows.
Last year, I treated myself to a grand tour of Scotland and played a majority of the country's most celebrated courses.
When traveling to far-flung golfing destinations, it is wise to enlist the help of an experienced travel company.
In the fall of 1926, Dr. Alister Mackenzie embarked on a monthlong voyage from Britain to Australia.
Although the hotels in the Dominican Republic do not number among the Caribbean's finest, there are nonetheless some luxurious places to stay.
Golf is treated as just another amenity on most Caribbean islands. It's something to do between the last scuba dive and the first rum punch; it's seldom the primary focus of a vacation.
Standing on a 100-foot high dune on the Hebridean isle of South Uist, I have to remind myself that I am actually on a golf course. That is largely because the layout I am playing is also an archaeological dig.
The Golfer’s Corner Lounge Bar in The Dunvegan Hotel is a short walk from the 18th green of the Old Course.
Not even the most avid golfer can hope to play all of Scotland's great courses on one trip. Sadly missing from my recent tour were the King’s and Queen’s courses at Gleneagles.
Contrary to popular belief, The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews does not own or run the Old Course.
Scots tend to be a reserved breed, which is perhaps why the brouhaha about Donald Trump’s new course on the Aberdeenshire coast seems so unexpected.
Nowadays, golfers can find brilliantly designed courses on every continent save Antarctica.
One of the best new courses in golf is also one of the most private and remote. Designed by Scotsman David McLay Kidd, the par-72 track is located on Laucala Island in Fiji, and is part of a new resort created by Dietrich Mateschitz. As Laucala Island resort accommodates a maximum of 80 guests on the 3,500-acre isle, players will frequently have the greens all to themselves.
Scotland, it is often said, would be the best country in the world if it had a roof. The weather is disconcertingly unpredictable, and it is essential to pack accordingly.
I have been fortunate enough to spend a great deal of time in Scotland. My ancestors came from Moray in the northeast, so the country has always seemed like my second home.
A sample itinerary from the Andrew Harper Travel Office: 8 Days in Boston and Cape Cod, with day excursions to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley had a lot going for it long before its wineries began making premium wines a decade or two ago. Generations of outdoor fun-seekers have flocked here from Vancouver and Calgary (five and eight hours by car, respectively) to hike, bike, climb, camp, boat, swim, fish, golf and party in naturally beautiful surroundings.
Sequestered south of Los Angeles in the verdant hills between Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, The Resort at Pelican Hill takes its inspiration from Italy, and looks, from a distance, like a slice of Tuscany transplanted beside the Pacific.
