Golf is one of the oldest and most enjoyed games around.
The game of golf as we know it today can be attributed to the Scots, although there are records of several stick and ball games throughout history. As far back as the 13th century, the Dutch played a game where a leather ball was hit with the intention of reaching a target several hundred yards away.
We as a nation have made great strides to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine and end the pandemic. Thank goodness! One of the ways men and women have been able to keep their spirits high and get great exercise is on the golf course. Playing golf can be excellent exercise, especially if you forgo the cart and walk. Depending on the course, four or more miles can be walked during 18 holes. When you love the game, it hardly feels like exercise. Lasting friendships have been started on the golf course, not to mention many business deals!
Golf courses are generally well-kept and beautifully created. Many new courses today are designed to incorporate the surrounding natural elements. Imagine golfing at a world-class course in different countries all in one trip. Imagine not having to organize tee times, transportation, club cleaning and so on. Imagine having your favorite luxury hotel follow you wherever you go with everything you need for the perfect vacation. AmaWaterways has created a match made in heaven to enable you to do just that—luxury river cruising and golf.

I personally have been attracted to TopGolf entertainment destinations. The first one I went to was in Scottsdale, Arizona.TopGolf is a super place to hang out if you are not a golfer but want to learn how to golf. There is so much to do in one location, including fun, food and drinks. TopGolf entertainment destinations also offer golf lessons.
