You know who’s an invaluable source of travel and lifestyle advice? You are. Paid experts and bloggers can crow all day about the best places to stay and play and the most reliable airlines to fly, but your experiences, impressions and insights matter every bit as much. Over six weeks on Golf.com and through our social-media channels, we asked traveling golfers to rate their favorite destinations, resorts, hotels, airlines, resort caddies, you name it. We inquired not only about where you’ve been but also about where you want to go next (you’ve been warned, Scotland). Nearly 6,000 of you responded, rating 24 categories in the golf-travel space. Now the next time you’re looking for inspiration for a golf getaway or a new travel case, you have a new resource: your fellow golfers.
