Phil,
You need to be more specific. Is the only concern golf or are there others?
How about:
Size (city, town, village)
Area (inland, coastal, mountain, plains, desert, forest)
Price of homes
Taxes
Job market
Educational facilities
Health/Hospitals
Cultural outlets
Transportation (air, train, bus, cab)
Other recreational facilities
Distinctive seasons
Crime rate
Distance from other family members
This list is incomplete but I think you catch my drift.
I'll throw out one, Asheville, NC
