Not all of the country's best golf courses are located in major cities or developments. Here are homes under $600,000 in rustic locales yet still within a golf cart's drive of one of the nation's top public courses, as ranked by Golf Digest.
- Mesquite, Nev.
- Bandon, Ore.
- Arcadia Township, Mich.
PLACE/PRICE: Mesquite, Nev./ $335,900
PROPERTY TAX*: $2,128 per year
THE PROPERTY: 1,605-sq.-ft with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths
DESCRIPTION: Two stories, with two master suites and a waterfall and pond in the back yard. Not directly on the course but less than 100 yards away. The town's four casino resorts are just across the interstate.
NOTABLE: Carved out of desert mountains, Wolf Creek Golf Club is 80 miles north of Las Vegas. The visuals are stunning, with one tee box more than 100 feet above the landing area. Ranked the third-most-difficult course in the country by the USGA.
*Note: Current owner's payment.
