Meetings, Negotiations, Training, Facility Tours-all part and parcel of business trips. If certain days allow you to sneak in a round of golf, why not avail yourself of the opportunity.to chase the little white ball? A welcome break from the grind makes the business run smoother, after all. In part two, we’ve listed six prime business destinations from the eastern half of the USA.
For each destination, our experts found the closest course to the concourse, to ensure that you hit the first tee as soon as your wheels touch down.
