Heathrow Legacy: A Golfer’s Paradise
If you’re new to the Heathrow Legacy Country Club, you’re in for a treat! Known for its spectacular designs and top-notch facilities, the club boasts two stunning courses and two beautifully designed clubhouses, located just a mile apart. The original course was designed by renowned architect Ron Garl, and the second by famed architect Tom Fazio. Each course offers a unique and challenging experience tailored for golfers of all skill levels.
But wait, there’s even more good news! The club has recently undergone a significant upgrade following a $3 million investment in renovations by its owner, Concert Golf Partners. This company manages a whopping 36 upscale private clubs nationwide, ensuring that members and guests enjoy the ultimate golfing experience every time they step onto the course.

Founded back in 2005, the GTWA has earned its stripes as a vital hub for golf travel writers, editors, publishers, and broadcasters in the U.S. and Canada. By focusing exclusively on golf travel, they’ve cultivated a vibrant community of individuals who share a deep passion for both golf and exploration. With new leadership stepping up for 2025, events like these signal a bright and lively future for the association.

The air is electric with excitement, as many writers and editors are expected to join in for both the annual meeting and the casual outing. It’s the perfect opportunity to network and gain insights from industry peers. With all these plans in motion, the GTWA’s double celebration at the PGA Show is gearing up to be an unforgettable affair, making it a must-attend event!
