Most have their own on-site course, from full 18-hole championship layouts to 9-hole and executive tracks; a couple offer golf at a nearby or resort course instead, as noted on the card. For buyers who play, course access and clubhouse amenities are a year-round draw well beyond the ski and lake seasons.
