I don't see how one can meld NYC to the Hamptons...the latter is a good hike out the Long Island expressway (or express) from the former.
Perfection is in the eye of the beholder, as no one in particular says. If your idea of perfect is great golf, great food, and a night spent inside playing cards or watching the screen, then the town is Pine Valley, NJ and nightlife is not part of the equation. If nightlife matters, which kind?
Every one of the candidates submitted is worthy of the title of perfect golf town. I will be interested to see, with Golden Horseshoe, two Strantz designs and a few other courses, how close Williamsburg, VA comes to the top 25 in my mind this Summer. I certainly agree that the following deserve to be in the top quarter-century:
Carmel
Pinehurst
Cabo
St. Andrews
Southampton
Philly
Melbourne
Bandon
Kohler
Orlando
Does perfect golf town include public AND private, or public only? That makes a difference.
Middle of discussion!!
