Top casino golf courses
April 8, 2009
Like the idea of playing 18 holes while you take a break from the poker table? Evidently, plenty of folks do, and tacking on a first-rate golf course at your friendly neighborhood gambling venue is all the rage.
While private course building has been crippled by the economic meltdown, casinos find that adding golf to the total entertainment package can be a big draw. The courses don’t have to pay for themselves; the “gamble” is that visitors will spend an extra night or two coughing up their hard-earned cash at the tables.
