There’s nothing like hitting a pure golf shot. Everything feels right. From your takeaway to contact and into your follow-through, everything blends into the next. You look up, the ball’s high in the sky, before dropping, bouncing, and landing on target.

But perhaps more important are the places you golf and the people you golf with. Visiting world-class courses across the globe immerses you in nature, making every round a mini-vacation. It’s even better when you’re in the company of friends.

In Southwest France, Cabot Bordeaux promises a golf getaway like nothing else. Combining picturesque courses, luxury accommodations, and fine food and wine, the resort offers serious golfers a trip to remember. 

When it’s time to hit the links, two courses designed by well-known architects Bill Coore and Rod Whitman offer a mix of challenge and scenery. Both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine rate the layouts among the best in Europe. While creating the course, the designers paid homage to early 20th-century French golf architecture, which experienced a golden age before World War I occurred. Set among captivating land and requiring astute strategy, the courses are demanding yet beautiful.

After a round, guests can relax in the 79-room hotel, which has a restaurant highlighting regional French cuisine. To recover and recharge, a world-class spa offers a heated indoor pool, various treatments, a fitness room, and a hammam. To prepare for the next 18 holes, the Bernard Pascassio Training Center has golf simulation rooms, a practice course configuration, and a TaylorMade fitting room.

Ben Cowan-Dewar, CEO and co-founder of Cabot, commented, “Bordeaux holds a special place in the hearts of travelers worldwide, known not only for its rich history and stunning landscapes but also for its remarkable culinary offerings and universally revered wine. We are thrilled to now have a presence in this iconic destination and look forward to offering guests unforgettable experiences that seamlessly blend exploration and cultural immersion with world-class golf.”

Americans urged to avoid parts of this Southeast Asian vacation spot in new travel warning
The U.S. has updated its travel advisory for Indonesia
Indonesia

The U.S. State Department has issued a renewed travel warning for Indonesia, a country often favored by American tourists for its cultural heritage and island getaways like Bali. While many areas remain open to travelers, officials are now urging Americans to avoid certain regions altogether due to escalating violence and political unrest.

The advisory specifically highlights Central Papua (Papua Tengah) and Highland Papua (Papua Pegunungan) as no-go zones. These areas have long been the site of conflict between government forces and armed separatist groups, and recent months have seen a surge in violent demonstrations, civil unrest, and targeted attacks, putting foreign nationals at significant risk.

Climbing Mount Everest just got harder — and possibly safer
Climbing Everest? Here are some new rules for the 2025 season
Mount Everest

Climbing Mount Everest is a bucket-list destination for many ambitious climbers around the world. However, it's also one of the most dangerous. 2023 saw 22 tragic deaths according to the Himalayan Database, marking it the most deadly year on record. Due to this, the Nepali government is implementing several new rules to reduce the risk of loss of life. These new rules were outlined in the Integrated Tourism Bill from Nepal's upper house of Parliament. Here's what you need to know:

In 2023, many of the deaths were linked to altitude sickness or heart attacks in unprepared hikers. For this reason, climbers must now provide a certificate of health 30 days before their expeditions. Climbers must also show proof of having summited at least one peak over 7,000 meters (22,965 feet) in Nepal before applying for an Everest Permit. This permit is valid for two years but will now cost $15,000 instead of $11,000 per person, and will not be transferable or refundable.
