The Course at Four Seasons Manele Bay on Lanai

I have actually golfed at one golf course from each top ten list – pretty lucky for a total amateur, right?? (Amateur is being generous by the way..) I am thankful for my job. One of them is also one of my favorite courses at a resort: the one pictured above on the Hawaiian island of Lanai at the Four Seasons at Manele Bay.

The Course at the Four Seasons on the Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica

The other course I have played that is on the international list is the course at the Four Seasons on the Papagayo Peninsula in Costa Rica…great course but not one of my favorites. However, it was pretty cool having iguanas crawling up to me while I was trying to chip my ball out of a ditch…and monkeys in trees overhead.

You be the judge – and have fun.
