Developed by industry leaders, Boardroom magazine and Forbes Travel Guide, the Distinguished Golf Destinations designation is the most prestigious and valuable distinction a resort, semi-private, daily course or public course can achieve. The Distinguished Golf Destinations program is not a popularity contest where industry insiders simply decide who gets to perform behind the scenes. Instead, Distinguished Golf Destination status is earned through a process that evaluates every aspect of your facilities, course(s) and operations against the most important of all measures: Golf experience.
