Dan, with apologies for high jacking your thread but I have a question along the same lines...minus the aircraft.
My dad (80) does an east coast golf trip every year in the late summer/fall. Highland Links is his favorite course and stays there for 3 or 4 days. He has concerns regarding the driving time to Cabot Links from Highland Links at his age, this was a real concern until I found today that the lodge was now open. His original thought was the drive was 5 hours plus(The Cabot Trail) but Google Maps shows a drive time, using 3 different routes, somewhere around 3 hours.
My concern is the type of roads used by Google....are they good highways? Or regional roads?
Does anybody know the best/safest routing between these two course?
He has played over 60 links courses in England,Scotland,Ireland and after seeing his reaction to the pictures on the website, I really want him to play it.
Any insight would be very much appreciated.
Thanks Tim
