Golf Getaway

If you're a duffer who's ready for a challenge, make a beeline to Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, which offers three of the hardest consecutive holes in Florida. Incorporating 315 acres, 12 lakes and plenty of native flora, this 18-hole, Tom Fazio-designed golf course has been named one of Golf Digest's best courses in Florida. Transportation to and from the golf course, which is a short 13 miles away, lets you easily enjoy a few "adult beverages'' after (or during) your game. You may see some of the area's herons, egrets, and if you're lucky the rarer pink roseate spoonbill on this Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary-certified golf course.

After (or instead of) golfing, check out the resort's spa, which offers massages, facials, a whirlpool, dry sauna, and steam room to help you revitalize. Specialty treatments including skin exfoliation and hydration, as well as deep hair conditioning are a great way to top off your winter vacation.
