Spacious rooms come stocked with Berber robes and slippers, but if you need to clean your clothes, the staff - all of whom are employed from surrounding villages - helpfully show you the washbasin and iron. Visitors are encouraged to remember they are "guests of the local inhabitants." Indeed, the Kasbah's quiet, natural setting either makes it, as one visitor wrote in the guest book, "a great place to make babies" or, judging from a po-faced couple we overheard, a breathtaking spot in which...

...terms of putting,” Shuman said. But it’s more likely that little mistakes piled up on the Crimson throughout the day. The Yale University Golf Course, known for its severely undulating greens, mentally taxes players with the constant demand for precision drives and iron shots. “This course is really about staying focused and grinding it out,” Shore said. “The way to score well is to focus and accept that you’re going to make a couple of bogeys.” Given that three...
