National Golf Month may be over, but golf travel is far from slowing down. And even though summer is coming to an end, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a beachside escape with a round (or few) of golf with ocean views.

We’ve rounded up some must-visit oceanfront destination courses to visit this year and beyond:

Santa Barbara, California

Tee off where championship-worthy play meets California’s coastline. Santa Barbara’s year-round mild climate makes it ideal no matter when you visit. At Glen Annie Golf Club, you’ll find a championship course framed by ocean and mountain views. Or, head to historic, 18-hole Santa Barbara Golf Club. The region’s crown jewel course is Sandpiper Golf Club, offering panoramic Pacific vistas from every hole. The course also looks ahead to a clubhouse redesign. Meanwhile, at Montecito Inn, you can book the inn’s Stay & Play offer, which includes overnight accommodations, green and cart fees, and driving range access.

Bermuda

Although the island is just 21 square miles, there’s a whopping seven golf courses, the most per square mile anywhere in the world. Whether looking for a casual round or a championship-style day, you’ll find it all in Bermuda. Take on one of Bermuda’s most iconic holes, the oceanfront 16th hole, at Port Royal Golf Course, where you’ll take a shot across the Atlantic to the green perched on a coastal peninsula. Turtle Hill Golf Club is for golfers of all skill levels, with a challenging par-3 layout. Over at Belmont Hills Golf Club, golfers will find a picturesque, semi-private course across 18 rigorous holes designed by Algie M. Pulley, Jr.

Space Coast, Florida

It may be best known for rocket launches, but the region is also home to 18 public golf courses. Manatee Cove Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., is an 18-hole, par 72 course at Patrick Space Force Base, with four sets of tees to challenge any player. Rockledge Country Club, part of the Florida Historic Golf Trail (a series of more than 50 golf courses across the state built before 1950), is more than 100 years old and offers five sets of tees, making for a versatile course. The course also boasts a unique-to-Florida Diamond Zoysia for consistent putting surface year-round. And golfers will also want to head to Baytree, designed by Gary Plater, a course accented by 82 white-sand bunkers and red shale coquina waste areas.

Lanai, Hawai’i

Seeking exceptional golf paired with transformative wellness? Sensei Lanai, A Four Seasons Resort, blends year-round warmth with award-winning Manele Golf Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus. This acclaimed course winds along seaside cliffs and lava outcroppings overlooking the ocean, complete with a five-tee system. Complementing the course is the resort’s Golf Optimal Wellbeing Program, a five-night retreat for intermediate and advanced golfers combining on-course assessments, Trackman-powered lessons with instant video feedback, guided nine-hole instruction rounds, fitness testing including VO2 max and gait analysis, and private mindset and nutrition consultations.

The Return of Gateside Goodbyes? New TSA Program Lets Non-Flyers Past Security

It was once a distant memory: walking with loved ones to their gate to see them off, waving goodbye and watching their plane take off. This all ended after Sept. 11, 2001, in which greater security measures were put in place to account for each and every person who goes through security checkpoints. The Transportation Security Administration was established two months after the terrorist attack to prevent other hijackings, creating a unified federal administration to screen bags and passengers. Before, it was up to the individual airlines to hire their own security for screenings.
