The place
The only place on earth with signature courses by Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, and Jack Nicklaus on one property — and the undisputed capital of epic golf-mansion rentals. Reunion is built for exactly this trip: take over a staggering multi-suite mansion with a private pool, home theater and game room, then play three legends' courses without leaving the gate. Orlando's dining and nightlife are 20 minutes away if the crew wants more.
