God gives His children "peace of mind" while we are living on this planet, ...when we finally finish our pilgrimage here and go home to Heaven, ...one of the few things we will "take" with us from this sojourn is our peace...

And the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Php 4:7

Lord bless

Heaven: God's Dwelling Place

Do we have peace of mind in heaven?

Yes, we will experience emotions in heaven — emotions like love and joy because we are safely in God’s presence forever. The Bible says that heaven’s inhabitants declare to one another, “Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!” (Revelation 19:7).

Yes, absolutely.

Romans 14:17 KJV For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Will there be golf?

It's not likely. Heaven will not be any less joyful without it. I don't think you'll miss it.

Or could I walk there today?

No, I'm sure we would not be able.

Can you be more specific?

The word of God has this to say about specifics. 

1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:2-3).

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect (Hebrews 12:22-23).

“After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!’” (Revelation 7:9-10)

Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes” (Revelation 7:15-17).

“Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail” (Revelation 11:19). 

God's dwelling place (Psalms 33:13).
-Where Christ is today (Acts 1:11).
-Where Christians go when they die (Philippians 1:21-23).
-The Father's house (John 14:2).
-A city designed and built by God (Hebrews 11:10).
-A better country (Hebrews 11:16).
-Paradise (Luke 23:4

peace start's when your born again no longer an enemy of God through wicked works

John 14:27(AKJV)(The words of Christ whose throne is in heaven )

²⁷ Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

I'm not sure, but I remember the story about  this angel who suddenly appeared to a man who was golfing at a beautiful golf course called Pebble Beach.

The angel said: "I can answer any question you want, so go ahead and ask."

The man thought for a moment, "Are there golf courses in heaven?"

The angel replied: "Do you want the good news or the bad news first?"

The man shrugged. "The good news."

So the angel told him: "The courses in heaven are so beautiful I can scarcely describe them. There is no cost to play on them, and you have your choice of golf clubs. Beverages and electric carts are provided free of charge. All the balls miraculously float on the water so you'll never lose them, and all your shots go straight."

The golfer smiled and asked: "What's the bad news?"

"Well," the angel said, "You're scheduled to play in five minutes.".................

I've repented a little.

The good news is that there will be plenty of golf for those that repent even just a little. The bad news is that all of the fairways will be full of land mines. To make things ever worse?.......NO Mulligans........

Heaven is depicted as a place in scripture but I believe heaven is a state. How could we understand a spiritual reality except it be compared to the physical. Everyone in the state of Unity and Harmony becomes the place. How can we understand the immaterial except thru material descriptions as a vehicle to understand what we cannot see. Our problem is we stumble at the vehicle been used to give us that understanding which are frail physical comparisons or word which people interpret at face value missing where these things are pointing us to, the spiritual reality!!
