Summer means outdoor activities, and what better way to get your exercise, have fun, and enjoy pretty scenery all at the same time than to spend time on the links. For all of you golfers who are planning a summer golf trip, here are some timeshare rental suggestions from the RedWeek newsletter.
The following three timeshare resorts were named in GOLF Magazine’s 2010 Premier Resorts as Gold Medal Resorts winners, based on accommodations, service, and golf course. These resorts have also been consistently ranked in the list of Top 100 Courses You Can Play by GOLF Magazine.
