My question is what are some of the best 'destination events'?
Now before you answer I'd like to describe what I mean by destination event. These are full service events where the tournament takes care of you from 9am to 9pm. Not only provide the course, players pack, water and lunch (every tourney does that) but its a vacation. You arrive at the tourney hotel/resort and the entire weekend is an experience where the organizers have everything taken care of from lodgings, food and entertainment. These events are not cheap and usually they are off the beaten track.
A great example of this is the Japan Open. They have the two courses, hotels, every night there is a dinner with cultural entertainment, crazy players pack, side events and in Japan a completely different cultural experience. Once you arrive you don't leave the course/hotel because everything has been taken care of.
The Glass Blown Open is similar in the sense the entire town is taken over by the GBO, where there are block parties and events focused around the players and the town is all about disc golf for the weekend.
What other events are there like this and what makes that event special?
