Golf: The frustrating game of golf hooked Diana in the mid-1990’s. Now she enjoys traveling across the world to experience new golf courses, although (as most golfers know) swinging a club at a new course doesn't guarantee a new game.

Rodeos & Cowboys:  Diana's first rodeo was an adventure into the "big city" of Omaha at age 9. After that first energetic, spine-tingling performance, she was hooked on rodeos and the intriguing cowboys that participate.

Adventure: Diana grew up in a neighborhood full of boys, so getting her hands dirty and knees scraped was just a part of being a tomboy. Adventure travel is about the thrill of the moment. From hang-gliding in Chattanooga, Tennessee to zip-lining in Playa, Mexico to riding her motorcycle through the Grand Canyon to the more sedate thrill of swinging over the canyon in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, Diana is an adrenalin junky.

Hilton Cancun

Cancun and Cozumel on the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula present a most intriguing and cultural history.

Part 1: Tequila and Golf? Your Mexican Dream Vacation in Cancun and Cozumel

COURSE REVIEW
By Diana Rowe Martinez,
Regional Staff Writer

Twenty-five years ago, Cancun was a tourist's dream concocted by the Mexican government. These visionaries carved a paradise out of a thick, low, jungle-smothered fourteen-mile islet off the East Coast of the Yucatan Peninsula.

This flawless world offers temperatures averaging 80, with summer and autumn more humid, giving us the most opportune season to visit--winter. How perfect is that? A time of year when many of us look out on our own golf courses and only see snow covered bunkers.

 

The international airport is a short bus ride to the Hotel Zone, featuring over 26,000 hotel rooms that lure almost 3 million visitors each year. No Espanol? No problemo. Although Spanish is the primary language, with Cancun's primary industry being tourism, you'll be hard-pressed to find someone that doesn't know English. French and German are also heard due to the international tourist trade.

Okay, so now you're here. What's next? Also see: Part 2: More Tequila and More Golf?
From your approach in the air, a city rises out of thick sultry forests. Dozens of hotels line pristine beaches frosted with white-sugary sand and border brilliant turquoise waters that protect coral reefsFor a moment, you're concerned. Sure, beaches are nice, but.Then you see it. The manicured, undulating fairways, peek out of the jungle, offering a verdant lushness not at all like home and the views of crystal clear ocean and lagoons that city purification plants can only dream of. You've arrived in Mexico at the tropical paradise of Cancun in the Quintana Roo, the easternmost state of the Yucatan Peninsula.

 Albuquerque: Isleta Eagle Offers 27 Holes

FEATURE HEADER
By Diana Rowe Martinez, TravelGolf.com Senior Writer

If you’re looking for wide open spaces, framed by rugged mountains with mile-high elevation and varied landscape, mixed with a golfer’s sun and endless blue sky, then have I got the golf destination for you. Albuquerque and Santa Fe are one of our country’s most unique golf locations, and Albuquerque is easy to get to as it is host to the only commercial airport in the state of New Mexico, Albuquerque International Sunport.

Albuquerque is now a booming “big small town” of 600,000 and is making a name for itself in the golf industry, andit’s easy to see why. With its natural terrain, the creative imaginations of some of the world’s most renowned course designers come alive. The potential for carving out a masterpiece in golf courses is there and evident in the nearly 25 courses--public, private and military--located in the metro area.

Whether you chose tranquil play at the city’s westside Paradise Hills Golf Course or the Tierra del Sol Golf Course thirty miles south of the city in Belen, or pick the rolling hills and undulating greens of the Championship Course at the University of New Mexico, you’ll find a challenging course to meet your needs near Albuquerque.

One such place is The Isleta Eagle Golf Course, a 27-hole public golf course with three distinct nine-hole tracts. Isleta Eagle is perched on top of the Pueblo of Isleta’s vast high desert reservation just five minutes south of Albuquerque and the holes are centered about a pueblo-style clubhouse. Aptly named “eagle,” this course affords the golfer with panoramic views of the sweeping Rio Grande and surrounding rugged mountain ranges.

High rollers and celebrities wearing suits and flashing cash might be what Vegas is known for, but did you know that every year a herd of cowboys rustle their way into Las Vegas to compete in the sport of rodeo? Often referred to as the Superbowl of Rodeos, Las Vegas plays host each December to the rodeo contestants who qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
