TPC, Norton, Massachusetts
For superb golfing in a stunning natural setting, head to TPC, just outside Boston.  The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System has accredited this course as a “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.”  You’ll golf in an artfully-designed natural landscape that’s meant to attract songbirds and other wildlife.

Pine Valley Golf Club, Clementon, New Jersey
This course is repeatedly voted as the finest course in the world because of its world-class holes, luxurious eighteenth green complexes, and superb collection of two shotters and three shotters.  Don’t miss the great halfway house!

Koolau Golf Club, Kaneohe, Hawaii
Set in a lush tropical rain forest at the foot of the Ko'olau Ridge mountain range, Ko'olau offers winding ravines, dramatic elevation drops, and stunning views of waterfalls and forests.  This course is on the eastern side of Oahu.  With its lovely landscaping and large sand bunkers, this is a fun and challenging place to play.

Bike Trails For RVers

Bikes are great ways to really "see" a new RV resort or town.  With more and more cities, towns and rural parks offering paved bike paths it's never been easier to explore comfortably and safely by bicycle.  So grab your bike and hit the trails.  Have a favorite trail you'd like to share?  Email us so we can share it with other RVers.

Easy Riding:

* The Virginia Creeper – This rails-to-trails project stretches about 35 miles from White Top Mountain on the North Carolina line to Abingdon, Va. Though popular (and fairly crowded on weekends) it’s a perfect family outing that’s also great for novices of all ages. The packed cinder path leads you through rhododendron glades and across rushing streams past gorgeous Virginia countryside. Ride the entire trail, or the half of it that’s downhill (from White Top to Damascus, Va.). Shuttle services are available, and highly recommended. For more info, go to http://www.vacreepertrail.com

* The Greenbrier Trail (Caldwell to Cass, WV) – This virtually flat rails-to-trails gravel trail follows the rushing Greenbrier River from Caldwell, WV (adjacent to White Sulphur Springs) north all the way up to Cass. It’s open year round, it passes through Watoga State Park, and there’s at least one bed and breakfast along the way. You’ll get a mostly unspoiled glimpse of the Allegheny Mountains and the green river that twists and turns between. This trail is highly recommended for families, the weekend adventurer or the serious day cyclist. http://www.roanoke.com/outdoors/biking/family/wb/4835

* Railroad Grade Road, Fleetwood to Todd, N.C. – Strictly speaking, this 10-mile stretch of pavement along the New River near Boone, N.C., is not a mountain biking trail. Instead, it’s an impossibly narrow yet dead flat road that hugs the New River for 10 miles between Fleetwood and Todd, N.C. No matter. Cyclists rave about its beauty, and fear for the day when the state widens the road, which, conventional wisdom holds, would ruin it for bicycling. Hop on your two-wheeled steed and decide for yourself. You won’t regret the ride, unless you leave your camera home. http://www.great-trails.com/todd.shtml
