After reading the last few posts about golf courses and truck stops, I went on a search and came across a blog where a driver talked specifically about just that. I emailed him and waited and searched for others, after so much time had passed I forgot about it. Well, I never did hear back. I hope you've found a few holes along the way in your travels.

Here's a few random possibilities; (well, they're the first ones that came up when I searched on Google)
