Tee it up with the stars

Star-struck golfers need to tee it up at one of three courses in #California, including two that comprise the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am, which draws celebs like Justin Timberlake, Josh Duhamel, Bill Murray and Jake Owen every February. 

Pebble Beach Golf Links, the number one public course in America, and Spyglass Hill, one of the toughest in the world, lets #golfers play like the celebs do. Add in The Links at Spanish Bay and there is a trifecta of amazing courses where Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan have all teed off. Bunker down at The Lodge’s new Fairway One, a collection of one- and two-bedroom cottages featuring luxurious appointments and views of the fairway. The on-property Forbes Five-Star spa is the perfect antidote to the sore muscles from a tough round.

I’m a celeb, get me in there!

LOS ANGELES International Airport is to have a terminal exclusively for the use of celebrities and the world’s wealthiest travellers. The airport’s commissioners have approved plans to redevelop a cargo hanger into a suite for wealthy and famous travellers, the Guardian reports. 

The service – which will enable guests to be dropped off behind closed doors, to avoid press photographers – will cost from $1,500. Passengers will have access to exclusive lounges, restaurants, and separate security checks. When it’s time to board, they will be driven directly to their plane.

According to reports, the plan for the suite promises that guests will have to walk no more than about 60 steps.

Airport managers say they believe the terminal would bring in revenues of $3.7 million in the first year and $34 million over the first 10 years.

Security firm Gavin de Becker & Associates plan to roll out the service to New York (JFK), San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, and Dallas, if the LA venture is successful.

Go Holiday editor David Kernek comments: On paper, this looks like a viable plan, but … for most of the people who pass as celebs these days, getting pictures of them passing through airports and shopping in London, LA, and New York is vital to their continued celebrity.

Dave and Posh spur Cotswold holiday bookings

FOLLOWING reports – albeit unconfirmed – that Mr and Mrs Beckham are planning to buy a mansion in the Cotswolds, holidaycottages.co.uk reports a surge in interest for breaks in the area. Its bookings for properties in Gloucestershire have seen a 91 per cent increase in the January-October period this year. 

National newspapers have reported that the #Beckhams, having been seen in Gloucestershire by celeb spotters, have fallen in lurve with a £27million Grade II-listed country estate near Stow-on-the-Wold in the #Cotswolds, and plan to buy it. 

The manor house has ten bedrooms, and the estate – said to be the most expensive country house package currently on the market in England – includes two entrance lodges and 11 farmhouses and cottages.

holidaycottages.co.uk has more than 70 Cotswolds properties including family-friendly cottages, converted barns on working farms, and traditional, chocolate-box homes.

Go Holiday editor David Kernek comments: I can think of a dozen reasons to have a cottage holiday in the Cotswolds. That Mr and Mrs Beckham have a place there would not be one of them!
