Travel + Leisure's Top Golf Communities for 2009

Get your clubs re-gripped and spikes shined because Travel + Leisure Golf just released America's Top 25 Golf Communities for 2009. Ten of the twenty-five are new to the list this year which is a surprisingly large number. Each property was graded on the following six categories in order of importance: golf amenity; residential architecture and style; location, including natural setting and proximity to cultural activities; management, service and programming options; non-golf amenities, such as a full service spa, equestrian center or marina; and environmental stewardship. Searching for the best combination of qualities the editors selected the following as their top five:
- Pronghorn in Bend, Oregon
- Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, South Carolina
